Facilitate learning by using small objects to teach the principles of atomic mass in your science class. Pupils determine the average mass of varying beans as they perform a series of competitive experiments. They gather data and...

In this atomic weight and ions worksheet, students answer questions about isotopes of atoms and how it relates to atomic weight. They also write out oxidation or reduction reactions for given atoms undergoing loss or gain of electrons.

After giving the definitions of the different compound terms and formulas, equations are provided to teach your chemists to calculate different values. Relative formula mass, atomic mass, and empirical mass are shown and explained with...

In this atom worksheet, chemists learn how to determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom using the atomic mass and atomic number. They complete a chart of the subatomic particles and use marbles to represent...

The periodic table of elements is a vital tool for all chemistry apprentices and professionals alike. Here is a chance for your beginning chemists to assess their understanding of the periodic table. They list element names, symbols,...

The difference between atomic mass and atomic number can be confusing for some young chemists. Help your class better understand the concepts by allowing them to sketch an atom on paper and then discuss their experience. Upon completion...

In this elements worksheet, students use the relative atomic masses of given elements to calculate the relative formula mass. Students calculate the mass of compounds from given number of moles and determine the number of moles from a...

Although the focus of this worksheet is the neutron, you cannot talke about them without also dealing with protons and electrons! Chemistry kids fill in a table of 14 elements, identifying the mass, atomic number, isotopic symbol, and...

In this formulas and equations worksheet, chemistry apprentices write the chemical formulas given the names. They calculate percent composition, balance equations, and calculate the mass of a substance present in a fertilizer. This is a...

This PowerPoint is a comprehensive review of all the facts related to an atom's basic structure and function. What makes this unique is that it is geared toward an audience of junior geologists. After introducing the periodic table of...

No practice problems are given on this handout; it is a detailed list of concepts to know and tips for working related problems in chemistry. Give this to learners as a study guide, or use it early in your career as a chemistry...

In this periodic table worksheet, high schoolers complete a crossword puzzle given 22 clues about elements in the periodic table, periodic law, properties of elements and atomic mass and number. Students also fill in a periodic table to...

Students develop an understanding of the mole and molar masses of elements. In this mole lesson plan, students use beans to find their relative masses and draw parallels to the atomic masses of elements. Students work in teams and each...

In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a table of elements with their atomic number, atomic mass and symbol. They classify elements by their group name and distinguish between metals, nonmetals, and semi-metals. They also...

Many people confuse atomic mass and atomic numbers. The sixth of seven lessons in a unit requires scholars to find the weight of different groups of pennies. Then, they must solve how many of each type of penny exists in a closed system...

Food always gets attention! Model atomic structure using fruit loops to represent the subatomic particles. After building models, scholars create ionic bonds using their models. Finally, they use these concepts to create a periodic...

Atoms, elements, and molecules, oh my! Teaching the fundamentals of chemistry to curious sixth graders has never been easier to accomplish. Here is a resource that pulls together everything needed to get them off to a good start,...

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...

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...

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...
