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...

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...

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.

What better way is there to introduce conservation of mass than a few simple experiments? Young chemists conduct two chemical reactions, take the masses of reactants and products, then compare their results to determine...

In this conversion factor worksheet, students convert 15 problems within the SI system of measurement. They show their work and indicate the proper units.

In this conversion factors worksheet, students convert 15 measurements from one unit in the SI system of measurement to another unit. Students show their work and indicate the unit of measurement. Conversion factors are given.
