Guide your chemistry class through the periodic table so that they are able to identify atomic radii, electronegativity, and ionization energy. Give them three metals to place in water to observe reactivity. Teach them to write electron...

Neat! Show your physics class exactly how Ernest Rutherford fired alpha particles at a piece of gold foil and so determined that most of an atom is composed of empty space. Not just a slide show, but almost an animation, this...

In this atomic particles worksheet, students complete an elements chart comparing atomic number, mass number, protons, neutrons, and electrons. Students write the electron configuration for atoms. This worksheet has 1 graphic organizer...

Students investigate relative mass using 8 different items. In this relative masses lesson plan, students discuss as a class John Dalton's atomic theory. They take the masses of the 8 items and record their data. They discuss relative...

Atomic theory, experiments that contributed to our knowledge of matter, atomic structure, isotopes, and ions are covered in these 33 slides. Quality diagrams and labeled charts will help activate understanding. The presentation concludes...

In chemistry, the mole is a unit of measurement, much like a millimeter or liter. After learning about moles, scholars learn various equations relating to mass, volume, and concentration. They review each of these equations in a few...

This PowerPoint provides a complete recap of all the information needed for a unit on elements and the periodic table. The seventy slides cover the basic notation of elements, energy levels and ionization energies. The trends in the...

Students investigate the periodic table, the structure of the atom and the subatomic particles. In this periodic table lesson plan, students complete 5 activities in order to better understand atoms and the periodic table. They use...

Familiarize your new chemists with the periodic table of elements by contemplating this collection of slides. Element groups are identified, atoms are defined, and nuclide notation is explained. Isotopes are also mentioned. The topics...

High schoolers are introduced to the structure of an atom and Dalton's atomic theory through a short video and mini-lecture. They also take a look at the weight of mass and become familiar with the idea of quantum theory

In this chemistry instructional activity, students complete an adopt an element information sheet. Then they create an advertisement for their element including the information listed. Students also write its important uses, interesting...

Referring to the periodic table of elements, nuclear physics learners determine the resulting elements of alpha and beta decay. Answers are given in atomic notation, showing the atomic symbol, mass, atomic number, and emission particles....

Beginning chemists examine a collection of elements and compounds as they are introduced to the periodic table. The lesson plan is not cohesive and does not provide detailed instructions on how to teach it. However, it does includes a...

Students study the significance of the quantum model and how scientific theories adapt over time.  In this investigative lesson students describe the contributions that scientists have helped develop the atomic theory and identify...

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

In this periodic table learning exercise, high schoolers write the chemical symbols for the given elements, compare atomic number and mass number, and describe the importance of valence electrons in the organization of the periodic...

In this periodic trends worksheet, 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.

Students investigate the structure of the atom and its composition. In this atom structure lesson, students find the area of cut out circles and drop pens into the circles. They count the number of marks in the circles and relate their...

Students research the use of the atomic bomb in WWII, analyze the human costs of dropping the bomb and identify the pros and cons. They develop a PowerPoint presentation on the effects of an atomic bomb dropped on their hometown.

In this science worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to the sciences in the word search. Then they write each on the corresponding line to the right of the puzzle.

Lead your class through the amazing world of isotopes as they investigate the various properties they contain and further understand their respective location on the periodic table. They explore half-lives and radioactivity as each...
