Students investigate the properties of oxides and observe their periodic trends. In this behavior of oxides lesson plan, students experiment with metallic oxides and non-metallic oxides to determine if they are acid, basic or amphoteric...

Searching for a way to take your chemistry class to the next level? Provide pupils with an exciting and educational experiment demonstrating the thermite reaction! The mixture of aluminum powder and iron oxide allows young chemists to...

Students investigate the factors which affect corrosion. In this corrosion lesson plan, students experiment with 2 nails, copper wire and magnesium ribbon placed in a petri dish of agar solution, potassium ferricyanate and an indicator....

Students discuss certain properties of salt and how it is used every day as well as harmful uses. They experiment with salt to see it conduct electricity, form crystals and water freezing temperature. They complete a worksheet to record...

Students conduct an experiment to test the reactivity of metals and non-metals. In this chemistry lesson students test metals with different chemicals to observe the reaction. The results are used to categorize the metals.

Young scholars observe and perform experiments with sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur ,and phosphorus. The discover trends down groups, across periods, and having to do with the pH of metal oxides vs. nonmetal oxides.
