In this atoms worksheet, students explore the different types of bonds, name compounds, and determine charges of molecules. This worksheet has 8 true or false, 9 fill in the blank, and 5 short answer questions.

Students explore the nature and composition of a comet. They research comet facts, legends, and myths. They identify different types of comets and describe what happens to a comet as it travels closer to the Sun.

In this matter worksheet, students review the structure of matter including elements, atoms, and the periodic table. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Students differentiate physical and chemical change. In this chemistry lesson, students list examples of those changes. They apply what they learned in a Jeopardy style team game.

Students investigate foods. In this biology lesson plan, students will conduct testing on different types of foods as they learn about different molecules that make them up. Students will also learn about the shapes of the molecules.

In this chemistry worksheet, students use the clues given at the bottom of the sheet to complete the crossword puzzle on mixtures. There are 18 clues to solve on the sheet.

In this chemical equations activity, students fill in the blank with information about how to form chemical equations using the "ide" rule and the "ate" rule.

Young scholars engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts related to solution chemistry. They calculate the molar mass of various chemical compounds. Then students predict the anion ratio for ionic compounds. Young scholars...

Students understand the difference between four different types of chemical reactions: composition, synthesis, single replacement, and double replacement and identify the type of reaction and predict the products of these types of...

Ninth graders are shown a constructed machine and they asked what it is and what it does? They are questioned on type of simple machine constructed. Students are questioned on various parts of machine. They work in groups to design...

Young scholars design and create a compost pile in order to study the Nitrogen Cycle. They then use the scientific method to determine if plants grow better when they add organic matter from their compost pile to the plant's soil.

In this chemical reactions learning exercise, students fill in 12 blanks, determine if 5 statements are true or false, match 4 types of reactions with their description and solve 2 problems related to balancing equations and chemical...

Eighth graders identify the parts and functions of the microscope. In this biology lesson, 8th graders observe different samples under different types of microscopes. They compare and contrast the details they see.

Ninth graders explore how electricity is created and distributed through alternative production methods. Students participate in hands-on activities, research, lecture based instruction, and CD ROM resources.

Learners collect and examine rocks. They record information about the rocks they have collected in their notebooks. They compare and contrast different rocks and complete a class chart at the end of the lesson.

In this mineral learning exercise, students answer four questions about minerals and explain the acronym SNIFE which is used to remember the definition of a mineral.

Students participate in several density lab activities in order to clarify the misconceptions that solids sink and liquids float. Students work with triple beam balances to find mass of objects to calculate density.

The student will identify the difference in the rate of plant growth in three soils that vary in organic matter.1. Obtain three to four flowerpots, different types of soil, a record chart, three to five beans for each pot, and water....

In this molecules worksheet, students research a substance that is made up of molecules with two or more elements. Students name the substance, write a short description of the substance, and draw a picture that illustrates the substance.

The third lesson in a series of 11 begins by using thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate to determine the mass percent of oxygen. Then a second activity allows scholars to demonstrate that the resulting residue is from a...

In this chemical formulas worksheet, students practice naming molecular compounds by their formulas and determine if a gas is a compound or an element. This worksheet has 13 fill in the blank questions.

In this chemistry worksheet, students classify each chemical compound as a ketone, amine, aldehyde, or ether. Students also write a condensed formula and classification for the given organic products.

In this matter worksheet, high schoolers compare and contrast chemical and physical properties and explain the relationship between a pure substance and a mixture. Students review the properties of metals and nonmetals. This worksheet...
