Students perform an experiment that demonstrates acid rain. The chemical effect of acids on metals may take at least five days for the human eye to see, even though the reaction starts as soon as the acid contacts the metal.

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...

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...

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 formulas and mole conversion worksheet, students answer 22 graphic organizer, multiple choice, and short answer questions pertaining to formulas and mole conversion.

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 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...

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.

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 complete 15 short answer questions and problems on empirical and molecular formula, naming and writing chemical formula of compounds.

Eighth graders sort items as they are shown one at a time by the teacher. They attempt to identify the one physical trait the teacher is looking for (metal and not metal). After several objects have been shown and placed in groups, the...

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...

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

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.

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.

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 ions worksheet, students use a charge chart in a textbook to determine the charges of different types of compounds. This worksheet has 24 fill in the blank questions.

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.
