Beginning chemists examine a collection of elements and compounds as they are introduced to the periodic table. The lesson plan is not cohesive and does not provide detailed instructions on how to teach it. However, it does includes a...

High schoolers classify compounds as ionic or covalent. In this chemical bonding lesson plan, students experiment with 6 chemical compounds. They test physical properties such as the melting point, the solubility and the electrical...

In this oxidation-reduction reactions worksheet, students read about reactions where elements gain and lose electrons. When elements gain electrons they are reduced and when the lose electrons the elements are oxidized. They are given...

For this periodic table worksheet, students complete a table of elements with their atomic number, atomic mass and symbol. They classify elements by their group name and distinguish between metals, nonmetals, and semi-metals. They also...

In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a chart with the appropriate element symbol, the atomic mass and the atomic number. They classify elements by their groups and as metals, nonmetals or semi-metals. They also answer two...

Second graders classify objects and create hypotheses regarding their magnetic properties. They watch a video about magnets and finally use a magnet to test their hypotheses created earlier.

Students understand the difference between four different types of chemical reactions: composition, synthesis, single replacement, and double replacement and identify the type of reaction and predict the products of these types of...

Middle schoolers discuss metalloids, their use as semiconductors, and their impact on the computer industry. They work in groups to create a visual timeline showing the evolution of the computer.

Tenth graders distinguish between chemical and physical properties and changes in matter when given specific examples. They view a video of sports activities. Students chose their favorite sport and design an experiment to improve sports...

Eighth graders explore chemical reactions and their products. They define a chemical reaction and describe the characteristics of a chemical reaction. Students classify chemical reactions.

In this ions worksheet, students answer questions about atoms that have gained or lost electrons, they find the number of electrons atoms tend to gain or lose and they answer questions about bonding in atoms. They answer 6 questions...

Learners experiment with magnets and sort objects based on magnetism. For this hands-on physical science lesson, the children are introduced to magnetism through discussion and experimentation and have the opportunity to use different...

Learners use reference skills to locate information about the periodic table. They identify elements by name, atomic number, atomic mass, symbol and properties. Students use mathematical processes to find the number of protons,electrons...

Because of the work of John Dalton, we are able to write formulas for compounds. The hands-on experiment has scholars prepare a compound from its elements. Using mass data, individuals write the empirical formula for the compound.

In this compounds worksheet, students read how to name binary covalent compounds and then practice by naming 10 binary covalent compounds.

Students explore the structure and function of the periodic table of elements. Though memorization drills and games, students working in pairs, identify the elements of the periodic table, their grouping, their properties and their...

Students explore the world of mining and explain its importance in daily life. After describing how companies search for mineral deposits, they examine the environmental consequences of mining as well as the positive aspects. The...

In this balancing chemical reactions learning exercise, students balance equations, identify electrons gained or lost in atoms and identify the number of atoms of each element for the reactants and products in equations. They also answer...

Students review how physical and chemical change while discussing the properties. They diagram the electron dot for the first four elements in the periodic table. Students identify elements and state what they know while investigating...

In this elements worksheet, students write in the symbol of the chemical element that matches its description. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank questions.

In this compounds worksheet, students learn the rules for naming compounds, the stock system. Students apply these rules by writing the names or formulas for the 20 given compounds.

Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

In this chemistry worksheet, students fill in the correct elements with the help of the 25 questions. The end result is supposed to be a filled in and complete periodic table of elements.

In this chemistry worksheet, students create new and true statements while replacing false ones in order to properly define parts of the concept of bonding.
