In this week long "kitchen chemistry" project you will use chemicals from the supermarket to test for the presence of iodine and iodide in salt. These are common micronutrients added to some preparations of table salt. A materials list,...

Gelatin. It's hard to think of another food that is used as frequently on the dinner table as off. You can find it in all sorts of sweet foods, from ice cream, yogurt, and gummy bears, to marshmallows and yellow colorings for sodas. Off...

Many essential chemical reactions and natural biochemical processes occur in liquid solutions, so understanding the chemical properties of liquid solutions is fundamentally important. This project will challenge you to discover how much...

Students interpret the information given in the periodic table to describe the arrangement of electrons on the energy levels around an atom.

Experience chemical reactions with this virtual drag-and-drop laboratory. This site allows you to create chemical reactions by combining elements from the Periodic Table.

A brief overview of how to gather both quantitative and qualitative data, complete with a sample data table.

Explains the theoretical basis of electron configuration and presents a table of all 118 elements with their symbols, number of electrons, and electron configurations.

What's going on with this "Wild Table?" This lesson is designed to help the learner work collabaratively, creatively as well as separately to properly set the dinner table. This lesson will also infuse ways to make the table relevant to...

Each student will create a poem about an element on the periodic table. The poems will be placed in the appropriate "square" to create a large periodic table wall hanging. This project will require the collaborative work of several...

A chemistry tutorial highlighting historical development of the atomic theory of matter and the periodic table of elements.

Students can use this chemistry tutorial to further their understanding of the families of elements on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Explore a table of average salaries for the various career fields. However, these aren't representative of everyone in that field. For example, some television reporters make millions of dollars a year. The salaries listed are a little...

A section from a textbook about enthalpies of formation. Includes practice exercises, a table of enthalpy values, and examples.

In this activity, you will build a sweet building on a homemade shake table and find out how an earthquake impacts buildings constructed in landfills.

The modern periodic table has evolved over a long period of time as new discoveries have been made. Learn about the contributions made by different scientists to its development.

Provides two printable periodic tables, color-coded to show the element groups. One table gives masses, the other gives charges.

Describes the organization of the periodic table of elements and the different groups in it.

Explains what electronegativity bonding is and presents a periodic table of elements that is color-coded to show electronegativity trends.

Did you know that different-colored backgrounds cause colored objects to look different? In this investigation, students will experience this phenomenon.

Learn how basic elements form molecules to support life.

A sling psychrometer is used to measure humidity levels. Read about its history, how it works, its design, and how to use it. Includes a relative humidity table.

Read about the non-metallic elements in the halogen family, what their chemical and physical properties are, their uses, and some interesting facts about them.

Students use a table-top-sized tsunami generator to observe the formation and devastation of a tsunami. They see how a tsunami moves across the ocean and what happens when it reaches the continental shelf. Students make villages of model...

This website focuses on the common elements. It provides an alphabetical listing of each common element with its symbol, attributes, and location on the periodic table.
