Students study polyatomic ions and write binary and ternary ionic chemical formulas. They explore putting together different monatomic ions and coming up with as many chemical formulas as possible. They play a game similar to memory...

In this compounds worksheet, students write the polyatomic ionic compound formulas or the compound names. This worksheet has 29 problems to solve.

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...

Students explain the importance of the five main biogeochemical cycles. In this chemistry lesson plan, students discuss how ions are transported in the environment. They design an experiment to collect data on eutrophication.

Using simple materials, an informative lesson demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Matter and explains how to balance chemical equations. Young chemists perform experiments, analyze reactions, and balance chemical equations...

Lost an electron? You should keep an ion them. Young chemists learn qualitative analysis in the second lesson of an 11-part chemistry series. After observing reactions of simple salts, the teacher provides pupils with unknown...

Learners practice drawing Lewis dot structures, build molecules with model kits, and predict molecular shapes using VSEPR theory. The combination of written work and hands-on reinforcement benefits young scientists.

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine oxidation reduction in order to apply it in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

Scratch and sniff an introduction to organic chemical reactions. A creative lesson has individuals study the esters commonly used in scratch-and-sniff stickers and advertisements. Following the lab procedure, scholars create the organic...

Students assess how to go from writing ionic chemical formulas to nomenclature and naming chemical compounds. They brainstorm former studies and share their thoughts in small groups. A list of everyday products (shampoos, toothpaste,...

Learners explore the concept of molecular modeling and differentiate between saturated and unsaturated compounds. In small groups, they identify molecular formulas, complete a chart comparing alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, and construct...

High schoolers work together to explain the VSEPR theory and how it relates to molecules. They name electron pairs that can surround the central atom of an organism. They discuss the factors that determine the polarity of a molecule as...

High schoolers will draw Lewis structures of common covalent compounds using a Chem 3D computer program. They will predict the shapes of the molecules, complete a data table, and formulate rules for predicting shapes of molecules. In the...

Young scholars predict the product of chemical reaction using the solubility rules. In this chemistry instructional activity, students balance ionic equation. They perform a lab to check if their predicted products are correct.

Learners write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry lesson, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Students create a foldable to help them remember topics on chemical compounds. For this physical science lesson, students differentiate ionic and covalent compounds. Given certain compounds, they identify whether it's ionic or covalent.

This activity allows young scholars to review their knowledge of monatomic and polyatomic ions. After rolling the ion dice, the students will write the correct chemical formula and name for the compound "rolled".This lesson plan was...

This chemistry lesson plan will test young scholars' understanding of VESPR structures. They will use marshmallows and redhots to investigate molecules, acids, and polyatomic ions.

This lesson focuses on chemical compounds including Ionic and Covalent Bonds, Valences, Lewis Structures, Binary Covalent Compounds, Radicals or Polyatomic Ions, and much more. It also includes a compound worksheet in which the young...

In this lesson on exploring naming ionic compounds, students will explore how to name these compounds by learning key vocabulary terms.
