Average Atomic Mass
Using a chart of student test grades as an example, curious chemists learn how to calculate weighted averages. They apply this knowledge to elements on the periodic table. As practice in calculating average atomic masses, learners...
Curated OER
Ionic Nomenclature
One document contains five different worksheets for practice naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds. The first is particularly notable, as it systematically walks beginning chemists through the process of using the periodic...
Curated OER
Atoms, Ions and Formula Basics Make-up Test
Using a copy of the periodic table, chemistry test takers fill in a chart with element name, chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and numbers of subatomic particles. They define subatomic particles, draw atom models, explain...

Solution Concentrations
What happens when you combine 6.022 times 10 to the 23 piles of dirt into one? You make a mountain out of a mole hill. Scholars use dehydration to obtain percent composition and then calculate the molarity of the original...
Curated OER
Getting Animated
Students create a simple animation illustrating a chemical element in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson plan, students create a new way to describe elements by using them in an artistic form.
Curated OER
Isotopes of Pennies
Students demonstrate that isotopes of an element have different masses. They illustrate atomic mass and neutrons. The periodic table is examined in length. Display of a collection of atoms is surveyed.
Curated OER
Periodic Table
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...
Curated OER
Structure of the Atom
Students practice drawing the atomic structure of several different elements. They complete critical thinking questions about atomic structure and compare the atomic mass units for different ions and isotopes of an element.
Curated OER
Memorization Tips: Elements/Symbols
In this chemistry worksheet, students identify ways to memorize the elements and symbols of the periodic table for chemistry. They identify phrases that use each element in a unique way.
Curated OER
The Elementary Particle Masses
For this elementary particle mass worksheet, students calculate the mass of elementary particles in kilograms and million electron Volts. Students solve 4 problems finding Top Quark mass, total quark mass of a proton and Strange Quark mass.
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
Matter
Fifth graders investigate the nature of matter and of the scientific processes associated with them in this series of lessons.
Curated OER
Periodic Table Families
In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by listing the elements in each of the periodic table families.
Curated OER
Elements Word Search Puzzle
In this word search puzzle worksheet, students will find and circle forty-five different names of elements from the periodic table.
