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.

Young scholars 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...

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

Young scholars 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...

Eighth graders examine the Periodic Table. In this science lesson plan, 8th graders categorize a group of shells and unknown elements using different characteristics as they read and interpret the Periodic Table.

Class members use the provided worksheet to create a resume for one element from the periodic table. The activity teaches learners about all of the properties of elements and how to read the periodic table.

In this science worksheet, students use a periodic table to complete the first four rows of a chart. Students use the Internet or research books to complete the last column.

In this ionic bond instructional activity, students read about the transfer of electrons from one atom to another in ionic bonds. They answer seven questions about sodium and chlorine and draw Bohr-Rutherford diagrams to show the bonding...

In this reactions worksheet, students are given nine chemical reactions to identify as single replacement, double replacement, synthesis or decomposition reactions.

In this minerals and rocks worksheet, students answer questions about the chemistry of minerals, scratch tests, rocks and the rock cycle, and erosion and deposition.

In this naming chemical compounds activity, high schoolers are given 9 lettered statements that they use to match with 10 statements about compounds. Students also review the rules for naming compounds by filling in 25 blanks to complete...

For 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...

In this periodic table activity, students will label the atomic number, atomic mass, element name, and element symbol for oxygen. Then students will determine the characteristics of the different groups of elements on the periodic table...

Students 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...

High schoolers will review a semesters worth of material on this final chemistry review. Information ranges from naming isotopes to pH and molarity.

Students identify the periodic table trends and predict material properties. They also design and conduct simple experiments and test material properties. Finally, students compare and contrast material properties and that chemical...

After a short introduction, chemistry aces get right into drawing electron dot diagrams for covalent bonds. There are only three questions to answer, so this is not a comprehensive learning exercise. It can be used when introducing your...

Eleventh graders examine the history and development of the periodic table and properties of elements. They complete worksheets, take notes during a teacher-led discussion, and produce their own periodic table.

Second graders classify objects and formulate hypotheses regarding various materials and their magnetic properties. They complete a worksheet and watch a video.

In this resources worksheet, students compare and contrast physical and chemical properties and changes. Students review the periodic table, pattern of atomic numbers and chemical reactivity. This worksheet has 56 short answer questions.

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

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...

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.
