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.

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...

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...

Young scholars 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.

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...

Pupils 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...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 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...

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.

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

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

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.

For 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...

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 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...

In this balancing chemical reactions worksheet, 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 3...

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...
