Students perform an experiment to show the chemical reactions that occur when metal corrodes. They apply the results of the experiment to the conservation efforts of art curators trying to restore an ancient Greek bronze. This lesson...

Third graders understand that the smallest particle is an atom. In this matter activity, 3rd graders make a piece of aluminum smaller and smaller to see that what's left is still aluminum. Students recognize that cutting into smaller...

The Crusades sounds like a glamorous time period in the Middle Ages full of glory—but was it? Scholars find and review the truth of the Crusades' influence on the world through the resource. The study guides, separated individually by...

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.

Fourth graders paricipate in a demonstration about bond strengths and bond types.

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.

Students conduct an experiment to test the reactivity of metals and non-metals. In this chemistry lesson plan students test metals with different chemicals to observe the reaction. The results are used to categorize the metals.

Pupils perform varied activities as part of a layered curriculum unit: They write and perform a skit that outlines the evolution of the model of the atom. The script is submitted to the teacher for review before performance.

The learners construct a heating curve and explain its components. They perform calculations. They review phase changes and quantify Energy differences. They review phases of matter and their energy content.

In this writing formulas worksheet, students write the formulas for 15 complex ionic compounds and name their anions and cations. Students must balance the charges on the ions and determine the formula.

Middle schoolers create instructional videos. in this video lesson, students choose a subject area and topic to make their own how-to video. They research this topic and film their video using a flip-camera. 

Young scholars study the importance of alkaline earth metals.  In this metals lesson students research the minerals that are essential for human health. 

Tenth graders distinguish between chemical and physical properties and changes in matter when given specific examples. They view a video of sports activities. Students chose their favorite sport and design an experiment to improve sports...

In this chemistry worksheet, high schoolers complete a crossword puzzle with 25 questions on chemical reactions. They identify common terminologies used in describing chemical reactions.

Students create a polymer ball in the lab. In this chemistry lesson, students identify the different properties of the polymer they created. They explain what type of chemical reaction took place.

Students discuss metalloids, their use as semiconductors, and their impact on the computer industry. They work in groups to create a visual timeline showing the evolution of the computer.

Eighth graders explore reference materials and then complete a research project.  In this research project lesson, 8th graders choose the best reference source to use. Students learn to correctly site sources for their project....

High schoolers prepare an ad for an element, including properties and uses, in an attention getting format such as that used in the advertising business.

Eighth graders view a PowerPoint presentation that assist them in distinguishing between physical and chemical changes. They compare their observations of demonstrations to a list of clues recognizing types of changes.

Students work together to create different solutions made from different concentrations of liquids. They record and analyze their data. They answer discussion questions to complete the lesson.

Students study atoms and their protons and neutrons.  In this physical setting lesson students work together to complete a lab activity. 

Young scholars create a polymer to demonstrate its properties and develop an awareness of the wide variety of uses for polymers.

Learners listen to music and review instruments of the orchestra. They explore musical terms, solo, texture and theme of the music and discuss other features of the music. Students research and discuss the life of Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov.
