In this elements, compounds, and mixtures worksheet, students answer questions about the properties of elements, mixtures, and compounds. Students identify the physical changes that is made to a substance to determine if it is an element.

This science presentation focuses on the elements in the periodic table. It begins with the parts of an atom, explaining atomic mass and atomic number, valence electrons, and isotopes. Then it moves on to discuss various ways of...

An organized table charting the different types of chemical bonds arrays this resource. The octet rule, ionization energy, and the naming of compounds are also reviewed. Young chemists answer review questions in multiple choice fashion....

After drawing the valence electron distribution of 13 basic elements, there are spaces to draw 18 more complicated molecules.  For each molecule, there is space for a Dot structure and Lewis structure that best describes the...

Second graders use a magnet to "race" objects from one side of a racing track to another. They predict what the results are, then run the race. Pupils sort and graph which items were successfully moved, they attempt to race again. This...

When should you use less, and when should you use fewer? Straighten out this dilemma with a helpful resource about using less vs. fewer based on sentence context clues. After reading detailed instructions and examples, young learners...

Students create non-objective art based on the design elements of line, color, balance and movement using tape. This simple lesson plan encourages students to create patterns by overlapping and defining lines on a canvas panel. One of...

Students study the Periodic Table to investigate basic properties of metals used to make coins. They discuss how historic events like the Civil War and Gold Rush had a direct impact on the trime.

In this elements worksheet, students determine if the given elements are metals or nonmetals. Students give the valence electrons for other elements. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank questions.

Learners engage in a lesson plan that is concerned with finding the volume of a solid. They investigate and describe the characteristics of a favorite food and identify it as metal or non-metal. The lesson plan includes pictures of...

Young scholars explore energy by categorizing rocks. In this British Columbia geology lesson plan, students define many different vocabulary terms associated with mining such as sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Young scholars...

Eighth graders read and interpret the Periodic Table. They also make decisions on how to group and arrange different kinds of matter and draw the structure of atoms of pure elements. Finally, 8th graders contrast and compare basic...

Learners describe how elements are arranged in the periodic table. They compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties and on their location in the periodic table. Finally, students identify and describe the...

Students write electron configurations and identify groups.  In this investigative lesson students use valence electrons to draw electron dot structures. 

In this oxidation numbers worksheet, students determine the oxidation number for given elements and draw Lewis Dot Diagrams. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 11 short answer questions.

Students research about the chemical processes involved in cave formation. In this chemistry lesson, students draw or find a cave picture with stalagmites and stalactites online. They write a brief caption and share them with the class.

Properties and uses of the halogen elements are illuminated by this compact collection of slides. Examples of halogen reactions with alkali metals, hydrogen, and water are also explained. This is a nifty resource to support an...

Young artists use Paintstik colors on paper, canvas, metal, fabric or another surface to create a work of art to be presented in a gallery. Students research the origins of the "Snakebasket" they are creating. These art lessons produce...

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...

In this elements worksheet, students classify the given elements according to where they are located in the periodic table. This worksheet has 1 short answer and 4 fill in the blank questions.

In this chemistry worksheet, students are introduced to the periodic table of elements. They find the answers to 13 questions about the periodic table.

In this recycling learning exercise, 5th graders read a selection about recycling, renewable, and non-renewable resources. They answer 6 questions based on the reading by defining words, separating trash into renewable and non-renewable...

Eleventh graders demonstrate an understanding of the impact of the western settlement patterns on American Indians. They analyze the growth and division of the United States from 1820 through 1877 and examine the non-Indian concept of...
