Is assembling the periodic table as simple as Tetris? Scholars arrange colored cards into a logical order and then make connections to the arrangement of the periodic table. Hands-on activities include adding trend arrows and analyzing...

This in-depth organic chemistry lab walks learners through an investigation of the effect of initiator concentration on the resulting molecular weight of polystyrene. It is important that you use this lesson with experienced chemistry...

Discuss different sources of energy and how much greenhouse gas each might emit. The six sources are then ranked according to emissions from greatest to least. Finally, the true cumulative emissions are revealed to show the class how...

Beginning chemists examine a collection of elements and compounds as they are introduced to the periodic table. The lesson plan is not cohesive and does not provide detailed instructions on how to teach it. However, it does includes a...

It's electronic! Pupils uncover elements and their electron configurations as they explore mass, groupings, correct charges, and sliding theory. Young scientists learn creative ways to remember various elements and correctly...

Students describe the electromagnetic spectrum and astronomy.  In this astronomy lesson students complete an activity, predict what will happen and complete a worksheet. 

In this periodic table worksheet, students determine why the periodic table is organized the way it is and compare and contrast the characteristics of the different grouping of elements. This worksheet has 22 short answer and 36 fill in...

Students write electron configurations and identify groups.  For this investigative lesson students use valence electrons to draw electron dot structures. 

High schoolers construct a periodic table based on the physical and chemical properties of elements. In this chemistry instructional activity, students share their work with the class and explain why they classified the elements that way.

Young scholars examine the hazards that can be found in the home for danger of causing a fire. They are shown pictures of hazards and recognize them when told. Students are asked to discuss the importance of identifying and correcting...

Third graders research and explore the development of household inventions. Groups create timelines which must display the date of each contribution, the inventor or inventors of each contribution, and the cultural background of each...
