There's nothing sticky about the resource, unless you count the gumdrops! Scholars create a model of a lithium atom, complete with protons, neutrons, and electrons. It's just that these models are made with gumdrops and toothpicks.

How are chemical bonds similar and how are they different? Provide your young chemists with the resources to more thoroughly understand the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds. Pupils research these topics, diagram examples of each...

The health effects of mercury exposure if the focus of the first of three activities about the properties of metals. Pairs research mercury to write, prepare, and share posters, articles, or PSAs with the class. 

Determine the better deal. Pupils write the equation for the cost of printing tickets from different printers. They compare the costs graphically and algebraicaly to determine which printer has the best deal based upon the quantity of...

Whether you wrap it or fill it, you're using geometric concepts. Classmates use an interactive approach to learn how to find volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms in the second lesson in a five-part series. The online lesson...

Students discuss transition metals, where they are located on the periodic table, some of the element in the group, and some characteristics of the group. They work in groups to conduct an experiment in which they mix transition metals...

In this families of the periodic table worksheet, students complete a table with the characteristics of elements in the 10 families of the periodic table. Students fill in the blank sections using their text book as a resource. They must...

In this periodic table and elements worksheet, students review valence electrons, octet rule, oxidation number, and the difference between metals and non-metals on the periodic table. This worksheet has 5 matching, 20 fill in the blank,...

In this periodic trends learning exercise, students solve ten problems related to elements in the periodic table. Students write electron configurations for atoms and they compare elements and their periodic trends.

In this periodic table worksheet, learners are given 12 terms and must match the terms to their appropriate definition. Topics include types of bonds, types of elements, and types of ions.

In this elements worksheet, students compare the properties of elements in the periodic table such as their atomic radii, valence electrons and ionization energy.

Learners identify how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. They identify how to use the periodic table to identify metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and halogens, and also,...

Students explain how elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students group the eggs according to a certain pattern. They compare this to elements in the periodic table.   

Excited atoms lead to exciting lessons! Learners use heat and light to excite both atoms and molecules. They display their learning in the form of Bohr models depicting the excited state of the atoms.

If most gases are invisible, how do we know so much about them? Pupils practice associating the name, formula, testing method, and outcome for four common gases using an interactive. Users build on the content of their first puzzles to...

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 elements worksheet, learners determine the pattern that is being illustrated by the diagrams of the periodic table. Students identify 6 different patterns.

Students are introduced to the periodic table. They find the common trends among the electron configurations and the names of certain groups of the table. Students explore the atomic mass, atomic number, mass number, mass and charge...

In this lesson, 10th graders research the elements within a particular period of the periodic table of elements. Students gather data from PDA for each element and join other individuals to decpher the patterns in the peridoc table.

In this elements worksheet, learners complete a graphic organizer by writing in the correct symbol for the 12 elements given.

In this periodic table worksheet, students identify the different properties of group 1 elements in order to match the given words with the appropriate question.

Students review atomic structure and then participate in a activity in which they categorize several "elements" into some form of order based on their properties. They discuss the trends they see. They also practice several electron...

For this periodic table worksheet, students color code the periodic table to show groups of elements, the states of elements, if they are man-made or synthetic elements, if they are radioactive and the number of electrons in their outer...

In this periodic table worksheet, students create an advertisement for a chemical group or family they are assigned. They need to include topics such as are the elements solids, liquids or gases at room temperature, the history of the...
