In this covalent bonding instructional activity, students answer questions about types of bonds, electronegativity, valence electrons, and Lewis dot structures. They answer specific questions about covalent bonds in molecules and explain...

Ninth graders investigate ionic bonding through energy level diagrams. In this ion bonding lesson plan, 9th graders observe demonstrations to show energy level diagrams using magnets to represent the subatomic particles. Students fill...

In this transition metals worksheet, students fill in a table given a metal compound with the charges of the anion and cation. They then determine the name of the compounds.

In this nuclear decay activity, learners read about alpha and beta decay and the isotopes formed by the reactions. Students solve nine problems including writing the equations for the decay of radioactive isotopes, identifying the...

In this naming binary compounds worksheet, students are given 8 pairs of ions and they identify their oxidation numbers, their formula when the combine and the name of the compound. They are given 8 formulas and they identify the...

In this stoichiometry learning exercise, students review definitions and equations associated with molarity, density, atomic mass, molarity, and dilutions. This learning exercise has 18 word problems.

In this chemical bonding worksheet, students answer 10 questions about ionic bonding, covalent bonding, metallic bonding, Lewis structures, and intermolecular forces.

Students create models of ionic and covalent electronic bonds to demonstrate their understanding of these chemistry concepts. They explain how both ionic bonds and covalent bonds work so that younger students can understand.

In this chemistry calculations review learning exercise, high schoolers solve 33 review problems about titrations, precipitates, pressure and volume of gases, combustion reactions, heat of combustion, molar concentrations and molecular...

In this quantities in chemistry worksheet, students solve 13 review problems about percent composition, significant digits, the mole, simple and molecular formulas, balancing equations, stoichiometry, limiting reagents and percent yields.

Upcoming chemists construct atom or molecule models out of candy. This is a classic idea that learners really enjoy; however, this lesson plan is vague. There is no instruction about the structure of atoms or molecules. Make sure you...

In this balancing equations worksheet, students determine the type of reaction and write the balanced equation. Students read the word description and write the symbol of each element using the periodic table.

Pupils 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 reactions.

Middle schoolers explore the definition of matter.  In exploring matter lesson students get into groups and navigate the Internet to answer questions. 

Students tour Chandra's top galactic X-ray images. In this Chandra X-Ray Observatory lesson plan, students play games and complete puzzles based on the Chandra Mission and X-Ray Astronomy. Students listen to pod casts, question an...

Eighth graders define a planet by the orbit around the sun, have a large enough gravitational force to hold a sphere shape and needs to clear the neighboorhood of it own orbital zone. They describe comets, meteoroids, meteor, meteorites...

Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.

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

In this making atoms science worksheet, students read about the atomic number of protons, finding the number of neurons, and how electrons function before they complete the atom board graphic organizer and respond to 4 short answer...

In this isotopes review sheet, high schoolers determine the atomic mass for three elements and they answer questions about isotopes.

In this chemical equations learning exercise, students fill in the blank with information about how to form chemical equations using the "ide" rule and the "ate" rule.

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...

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.

Students write the electron configuration of elements in the ground state. In this chemistry lesson, students draw how subatomic particles are arranged in the atom. They construct Lewis dot diagrams of valence electrons.
