In this molarity worksheet, students are given the equation to find moles per liter of solution. They solve ten problems finding molarity of solutions, moles needed to make particular molar solutions and mass needed to make particular...

In this matter and energy worksheet, students identify substances as solids, liquids or gases, they use the kinetic theory to describe the motion of particles and they explain the conservation of mass and energy when a substance changes...

In this momentum worksheet, students answer 17 questions about momentum of objects. They calculate momentum given mass and distance traveled in a given amount of time and they use graphs of position vs. time to find momentum.

In this ideal gas law worksheet, learners are given a problem to solve using a hot air balloon. They are given the volume, mass, temperature of the air inside the balloon and the temperature outside the balloon. They determine if the...

In this history of the atom instructional activity, students answer questions about Thomson's cathode ray apparatus, Rutherford's gold foil experiment and Dalton's beliefs about the atom. Students identify the number of protons, neutrons...

Learners investigate density using film canisters filled with different density materials and larger objects of varying density. In this density lesson plan, students discuss the concept of density and rank film containers from dense to...

Students investigate moles and measure out a mole by mass and volume. In this mole lesson plan, students observe demonstrations of quantities of substances that measure 1 mole. Students use a solid aluminum block and ruler to measure the...

In this force and acceleration activity, students solve 3 problems about moving objects, the forces working against them, the mass and their acceleration. Students determine if 6 statements about a falling elephant and a falling feather...
