Key Features of Graphs
The key is ... After a day of instruction on key features of graphs, groups create a poster and presentation on the key features of their given function graph. The resource provides an extension activity of "telephone" using...
Curated OER
Atoms
Eighth graders explain what makes up matter.  In this atoms lesson plan students define an atom and what its components are and identify properties of elements. 
Curated OER
Oh - The Bonds of Matter!
Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry activity, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.
Curated OER
Types of Chemical Reactions
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...
Curated OER
Electron Arrangements
Students write electron configurations and identify groups.  In this investigative lesson students use valence electrons to draw electron dot structures. 
Curated OER
The Average Atom - Isotopes
Seventh graders, in groups, complete an Isotopes model and notice that atomic masses are decimal numbers. These masses are an average of all the isotopes of that element.
Curated OER
Let Us Bond Together
Fourth graders paricipate in a demonstration about bond strengths and bond types.
Curated OER
Atomic Structure and Quantum Theory
Students are introduced to the structure of an atom and Dalton's atomic theory through a short video and mini-lecture.  They also take a look at the weight of mass and become familiar with the idea of quantum theory
Curated OER
ART- LANGUAGE OF SYMBOLS
Students discuss how color construct meaning in art. They will demonstrate a technical knowledge and creative use of formal elements and principals of design. Students then discuss the way their selection of color contributed to their work.
Curated OER
Changes in Nature
Fifth graders explore changes in nature. They identify chemical and physical changes in the water cycle, carbon cycle, and weathering. Students explore a chemical or physical change based on a chemical formula. They examine the effects...
Curated OER
Elements And Atoms
Students investigate the concept of elements and atoms. They conduct research using a variety of resources and use the information in order to create a class presentation. The lesson includes specific dialogue and steps for the teacher...
Curated OER
Chandra X-Ray Observatory
Learners tour Chandra's top galactic X-ray images. In this Chandra X-Ray Observatory lesson, students play games and complete puzzles based on the Chandra Mission and X-Ray Astronomy. Learners listen to pod casts, question an...
Curated OER
Limiting Reagent
Students work in small groups with a small set of 8 nuts and 5 bolts to assemble into combinations of 1 nut: 1 bolt, and 2 nuts: 1 bolt. They explore the outcome and discuss. Then a student mixes two clear, colorless solutions together...
Curated OER
Chemistry: Metals and Non-Metals
Students conduct an experiment to test the reactivity of metals and non-metals. In this chemistry lesson students test metals with different chemicals to observe the reaction. The results are used to categorize the metals.
Curated OER
CAN'T TOUCH THIS!
Students discover the best practical shielding material when dealing with radioactive substances. They draw conclusions based on availability of materials, price, and best shielding properties.
Curated OER
The Connection Between Pigment and Light Colors
Students explain the mole concept and use this concept to prepare chemical solutions of particular molarities.
Curated OER
The Right Chemistry
Students see that chemistry is the study of matter, how matter reacts and combines to create new chemicals, the changes that take place in matter and what makes up matter. This lesson provides many good ideas across the curriculum to...
Curated OER
Matter
Fifth graders investigate the nature of matter and of the scientific processes associated with them in this series of lessons.
Curated OER
Matter and Energy
Students participate in a small group read aloud of the short story, "Cerium" by Primo Levi.  They answer several questions about the story and then relate the reading to a lecture on Kinetic theory.  After the lecture they apply the...
