Young scholars use a computer program to study elements and the periodic table. They follow the directions on the computer program, and answer the questions presented. The program is self scoring, and students may print a certificate...

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...

For this chemistry worksheet, high schoolers 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 examine the concept of covalent bonds with the assessment. The answer key is included on page 3 and 4.

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

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...

Students will investigate the differences in conductivity of materials, design a variety of complete circuits, and observe the differences between the manner in which light is produced in an incandescent light bulb and an LED.

Students 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...

Eighth graders interpret the chemical symbols and shorthand used for molecules and equations. Through guided practice, 8th graders work to decipher and interpret the symbols for chemical equations. An opportunity for independent...

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 acids and bases worksheet, students read about what happens when an acid or base is added to water. Students complete 6 short answer questions.

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...

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete 15 short answer questions and problems on empirical and molecular formula, naming and writing chemical formula of compounds.

In this general science activity, learners find 32 science words reviewing states of matter and types of substances. Students may self correct by selecting the link at the bottom of the page.

Students investigate several properties of the given elements and decide whether each element is a metal, non-metal, or a metalloid.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes the properties of non-metals and uses of non-metals

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers metallic character, nonmetallic character, and periodic table trends.

A slide show presentation describes the metallic character of elements, and explains how that changes throughout the periodic table.

The following tutorial explains the three main types of elements, including metals, non-metals and metalloids.

Use these flashcards to help study the properties of metalloids, metals, and nonmetals. You can study them online, have them read to you, or print them out. To enhance your learning, there are tests to take and games to play.

This lesson will describe metallic character and describe how it changes throughout the periodic table. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Metallic Character."

Environmental Chemistry offers a very concise definition of a non-metal.

An overview of the differences between the metal and non metal groups. Includes a lot of information on the periodic table and has a plethora of graphs.
