Rather than simply matching up the ionic charges on paper, this exercise gets chemists into the lab to determine the chemical formula for magnesium oxide! If a known amount of magnesium is used, an oxidation reaction results in this...

In this rate of chemical reactions worksheet, learners experiment with different concentrations and volumes of hydrochloric acid mixed with magnesium to explore the rate of chemical reactions. They measure the rates of the reactions and...

For this formula for magnesium oxide worksheet, students perform an oxidation reaction between magnesium and the oxygen in the air to produce magnesium oxide. Using the known masses of the magnesium and the end product, students find the...

For this magnesium worksheet, students read about how magnesium is extracted from sea water and the different uses of magnesium. Then students complete 4 short answer questions.

In this chemistry instructional activity, students use the clues at the bottom of the sheet to complete the crossword puzzle on metals. There are 21 clues to solve on the sheet.

For this chemistry worksheet, students complete the reactions by drawing structures of major products, indicating important minor products. They also write the structure of the product and describe the stereo chemistry of the product.

Chemistry stars experiment with metals to observe reactivity with salt solutions. They test magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper by immersing them into different solutions and observing for changes. A separate set of data tables is...

Five metal samples are tested for their reactivity with different solutions. From the results they discover the order of reactivity for copper, iron, lead, magnesium, and zinc. Have your aspiring chemists perform this laborabory exercise...

For this chemistry worksheet, students determine the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in each stated problem. Then they determine the molarity of acetic acid. Students also use the previous activities to predict whether a...

In this minerals scavenger hunt worksheet, learners research on the Internet 10 different types of minerals found. First, they read each questions and determine what they will search for using the Internet. Then, students write their...

In this chemical reactions activity, learners experiment with reactions between 4 different metals with water, acid and air. Students make observations of copper, iron, zinc and magnesium with water, acid and air. They write an analysis...

Simple in format and standard in content, this resource is an assessment of your beginning chemists' grasp of the atom. Using a periodic table of elements, they fill in a chart of missing chemical formulas, atomic masses, and numbers of...

Given data about the composition of ocean water, students complete 5 different questions using a provded table that relate to the ocean water (with elements Chloride, Sodium, Sulfate, and Magnesium). Some questions require calculation,...

In this heat of formation activity, students determine the heat of formation for magnesium by combining 3 given reactions and using Hess's Law. Students then complete a data calculations chart for each reaction.

This handout, produced in the UK, contains a chart of cations and anions. It explains how ionic compounds are formed and named. This concise and attractive handout can be helpful as a reference for your chemistry apprentices.

Test six various reagents for their ability to conduct electricity. Cooperating chemists research whether each is ionic or covalent and discover the relationship between bonding and conductivity. This laboratory exercise would be an...

Introduce basic Earth and space science to your budding astronauts. This handout works in two ways, the first part provides information about the sun, moon, eclipses, and Earth to be read to or by the class. The second part is composed...

In this formulas and equations worksheet, chemistry apprentices write the chemical formulas given the names. They calculate percent composition, balance equations, and calculate the mass of a substance present in a fertilizer. This is a...

This is not a worksheet per se but a reference sheet for your chemistry class. It lists cations and anions, their chemical symbols, and their net charges. Also included is a thorough explanation of combining these ions to form ionic...

Chemical and physical properties give compounds an identity. Learners use the identity of a compound to predict what it is. By performing different tests like solubility, flame, heat, and reactions, individuals attempt to identify an...

In this atomic weight and ions learning exercise, students answer questions about isotopes of atoms and how it relates to atomic weight. They also write out oxidation or reduction reactions for given atoms undergoing loss or gain of...

Is your class in another dimension with regards to dimensional analysis? Give them some extra practice with a straightforward activity. Learners convert units by following concise step-wise examples, including setting up the...
