In this periodic table worksheet, students create cards for a annotated periodic table then use it to answer 16 short answer and fill in the blank questions.

Students predict the shape of molecules using VSEPR theory. In this chemistry activity, students differentiate a polar and nonpolar molecule. They discuss why water's polarity is very important.

Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.

Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will model covalent bonds using electron dot formula (Lewis structures).

Given descriptions, diagrams, scenarios, or chemical symbols, students will model ionic bonds using electron dot formulas.

Learners draw and interpret Lewis dot diagrams for individual atoms and both covalent and ionic compounds.

This lesson will demonstrate how to draw a Lewis Dot diagram for elements. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Lewis Dot Diagrams of Elements."

Learners will use colored fruit loops to organize valence electrons to develop and master the basics of Lewis Dot diagrams. They will develop processing and critical thinking skills and also master a model of bonding.
