Learners create table to display GED Testing data located in paragraph provided by teacher, use information in table to create appropriate graph, and determine percentage difference between passing scores and failing scores.

High schoolers are introduced to the structure of an atom and Dalton's atomic theory through a short video and mini-lecture. They also take a look at the weight of mass and become familiar with the idea of quantum theory

Students create products from studying about matter that include: Make a "T" chart with matter and non matter items. Write a poem, song, or rap about matter. Five vocabulary words from the chapter must be included in the poem.

Students observe a demonstration on how we see space between water molecules.  In this experimental lesson students discover what elements make up the things around them and discuss what they learned. 

Students identify how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. They also identify and interpret how to use the periodic table to identify metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and...

Students gain a perspective in the development of chemistry. They understand some of the topics in their text and the ongoing nature of research. They then will be able to see the trends of the periodic table first hand through their own...

Students relate to the idea of periodicity & give example of other periodic events and identify and use the periodic table as a useful resource. They also identify the relationship of elements to certain groups & periods &...
