Students are introduction to the cause and effect of a chemical reaction between water, mucilage glue, and magnesium sulfate as they form crystals.

Fourth graders use mucilage glue and magnesium sulfate to make crystals. They mix the ingredients, place a drop on a glass slide and observe the forming crystals.

Lost an electron? You should keep an ion them. Young chemists learn qualitative analysis in the second lesson of an 11-part chemistry series. After observing reactions of simple salts, the teacher provides pupils with unknown...

Try not to blind anyone with science by following the safety rules. The lesson encourages scholars to form an ionic compound from magnesium and chlorine. Then they determine the empirical formula and determine the mole ratio and percent...

Students collect samples of rainfall, cloud condensation, and water that trickles through the soil. These samples are tested for pH, conductivity, and the presence of sulfates, nitrates, calcium, and magnesium.

Students experiment to determine the composition of ocean water. In this ocean water composition lesson plan, students color in a grid that shows the percentage of each of the components of ocean water which include chloride, sodium,...

Can you mix two liquids to make a solid that is insoluble? Yes, you can, and pupils see this as the lesson uses more than one combination of liquids to form a solid. Through two teacher demonstrations and a hands-on activity,...

There is a solvent called aqua regis that can dissolve gold! After observing a solubility demonstration, groups receive four known crystals and one unknown. Based on the demo, they design an experiment to determine the identity of the...

In this stoichiometry worksheet, students practice calculating moles, molarity, and the concentration of a solution in molarity. This worksheet has 12 multiple choice questions and 3 problems to solve.

Amazing science can sometimes happen right before your eyes! The class gets cozy as they watch crystals grow. They use Epsom salts, rocks, and food coloring to create crystals. They'll observe the entire process, documenting every step...

Students conduct a scientific investigation about the formation of stalactites and stalagmites. They conduct an experiment to reproduce them in the lab environment. Students make observations over a period of time in order to see the...

Students grow crystals in the lab using solutions. For this crystals lesson plan, students set up a crystal growing apparatus using a sugar solution with a thread attached to a piece of copper wire that is inserted in the solution....

Students investigate the characteristics of alkaline earth metals. For this alkaline earth metals lesson plan, students experiment with a variety of alkaline earth metal compounds and perform tests to observe their properties. Students...

In this chemistry worksheet, students find the outcomes necessary for the oxidation reduction reactions. The sheet includes background information.

In this compounds worksheet, students write the polyatomic ionic compound formulas or the compound names. This worksheet has 29 problems to solve.

In this chemical reaction worksheet, students write a balanced equation for each of the word equations given. This worksheet has 12 problems to solve.

In this stoichiometry worksheet, students solve several problems using the stoichiometric method. Students find the percent, theoretical, and actual yield for all problems presented.

Students conduct a series of tests to identify unknown compounds. In this chemistry lesson, students compare the physical and chemical properties of substances. They collect data and formulate a conclusion.

Learners observe crystals under the microscope. In this science lesson, students compare how the crystal look like using their eyes, hand lens and microscope. They identify the type of crystal based on the amount of light they allow to...

Students measure salt content in water. They determine salt content of four samples using a hydrometer.

Fourth graders identify eleven white substances that are commonly found in the household. They, in pairs, perform experiments on a variety of substances, and must identify them based on the reactions they observe.

Pupils explore the types of chemical reactions that can be made with household products. Through various inquires, students work to perform chemical reactions using common household substances and cleaners.

High schoolers gain experience in designing an experiment and use logic in selecting specific tests for unknowns. Students recognize the use of spreadsheets in helping one to make clear comparisons.

Pupils explore conductivity and productivity in aquatic systems.
