In this Bohr model activity, high schoolers read about Neils Bohr and the model he proposed of the atom. Students answer nine questions about his theory that electrons travel in orbitals and give off energy when they are excited.

Students investigate the periodic table, the structure of the atom and the subatomic particles. In this periodic table lesson plan, students complete 5 activities in order to better understand atoms and the periodic table. They use...

In this atomic structure worksheet, students draw a helium atom and show the subatomic particles. They also answer questions about the Bohr model, Dalton's atomic theory and the energy of electrons based on their location in an atom.

Students investigate the question: "How does a hot air balloon work?" They build small hot air balloons ans then lauch them. Students discuss how they think a hot air balloon floats. Pupils are introduced to the use of models as a...

In this atom worksheet, students read about the parts of the atom and how atoms combine into molecules and compounds. Students learn how to read a periodic table. This worksheet has 20 fill in the blank and 10 matching questions.

In this atom instructional activity, students read about the structure of the atom including its subatomic particles and John Dalton's theory of the atom. Students also read about the differences between atoms, molecules and compounds....

In this history of the atom instructional activity, students answer questions about Thomson's cathode ray apparatus, Rutherford's gold foil experiment and Dalton's beliefs about the atom. Students identify the number of protons, neutrons...

In this atoms activity, students answer four different sets of questions related to atoms (fill in the blank, multiple choice, word puzzle and true and false).

In this compounds worksheet, students are given a bag of colored gumdrops that represent specific atoms. They construct ionic and covalent bonds with gumdrops using the key provided and the compounds to build. They fill in a chart with...

In this Big Bang Theory learning exercise, students read about how scientists simulate the original Big Bang conditions using atom smashers. Students solve 4 problems given about the Big Bang. They find the average collision energy of...

Learners experiment with the laws of motion. In this motion lesson, students explore Newton's Laws of Motion. Learners work in groups experimenting with different objects and observing different types of motion.

In this atom model instructional activity, learners explore how scientists developed the Bohr-Rutherford atom model. Students complete 15 fill in the blank statements.

This comprehension worksheet provides readers with an article about basic matter and then asks them to use this information to respond to a series of comprehension questions.

It's all relevant, really. Individuals use the scientific method to learn more about elements, atoms, and their placement on the periodic table. They conduct experiments using materials common in nature to explore how elements affect our...

Bacteria outnumber all other forms of life on Earth. Scholars observe the growth of bacteria in petri dishes to understand their role in maintaining good health. Then, they observe the growth of bacteria after they introduce...

By measuring the wavelength, frequency, and intensity of electromagnetic radiation, scientists determine the temperature, density, and composition of far away items. Scholars rotate through ten lab stations using a spectroscope at each...

Combine mathematics and science to calculate measurements of unmeasurable materials. Individuals use knowledge of density and volume to determine the thickness of the film used in production. They also apply stoichiometry to...

When an organism eats, how does food become energy? Young biologists follow glucose through the process of cellular respiration to the creation of ADP using a discussion-based activity. The resource also highlights conservation of mass...

Students observe 3 models that show Dalton, Thomson and Rutherford's theories of the structure of the atom. In this structure of the atom lesson plan, students observe each model and write a summary of each theory of the atom.

Students create an atomic model using a computer program. For this technology lesson, students identify the difference between radius and diameter. They create circular patterns and spheres based on certain specifications.

In this molecules worksheet, students answer post lab questions about types of bonds, factors that determine polarity and molecular geometry. They calculate electronegativity differences in atoms and determine the types of bonds between...

Young scholars construct models of the way water molecules arrange themselves in three physical states - solid, liquid, and gas. They explain the molecular behavior of ice, water, and water vapor.

Students examine solar, hydrogen, electric power. In this research based lesson, students will do simple investigations, view videos, discuss, and research how these three types of energy are used for power. They illustrate a...

Students simulate how scientists studied things they can't see like atoms. In this chemistry lesson, students predict what is inside the numbered obsertainers. They design a way to investigate what's inside without opening it.
