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...

Using toothpicks, marshmallows, and round colored sticky dots, physical science enthusiasts build models of an atomic nucleus. In this eighth grade chemistry lesson plan, they play an atom-naming game with the models that they have...

Is your acid-base chemistry lesson plan a little ho-hum? Spice things up with puzzles! Young chemists manipulate facts about acids and bases to solve a series of interactive puzzles. The activity combines content knowledge and...

The need for a counting unit is mentioned as you introduce the mole to your young chemists. Use this presentation to explain Avogadro's number and describe the incredible quantity it represents. Lecture notes are included for most of the...

Students study the Periodic Table to investigate basic properties of metals used to make coins. They discuss how historic events like the Civil War and Gold Rush had a direct impact on the trime.

In this resources learning exercise, students compare and contrast physical and chemical properties and changes. Students review the periodic table, pattern of atomic numbers and chemical reactivity. This learning exercise has 56 short...

Pupils 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...

Ninth graders review and discuss the Periodic table and its 53 elements. They choose one element to become an expert on and then create a written Report in the form of a poster about their choosen element to be presented to the class.

In this chemistry worksheet, students sketch several diagrams of different peptide chains. Students sketch diagrams of galactose and fructose.

Students study the elements of the Periodic Table as they relate to the building blocks of the body. They experiment to measure the amount of iron in the body.

In this oxidation numbers instructional activity, students determine the oxidation number for given elements and draw Lewis Dot Diagrams. This instructional activity has 6 fill in the blank and 11 short answer questions.

Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.

Students research and write about the parts of a spider's body using educational software. They draw spiders using computer software.

An online resource, this worksheet has your chemistry learners complete four data tables with information about atoms and chemical bonds. The first table addresses atomic number and mass, as well as numbers of protons, neutrons, and...

In this periodic table instructional activity, high schoolers complete a graphic organizer by listing the elements in each of the periodic table families.

In this atoms worksheet, students use their knowledge of the periodic table and of atomic structure to complete the table on atoms. They identify the notation for each and then the atomic number, mass number, the number of protons,...

Fourth graders paricipate in a demonstration about bond strengths and bond types.

Students identify the elements that belong to the halogen family on the periodic table. For this chemistry lesson, students describe the common characteristics of elements in this group. They research about hydrochloric acid's effect on...

Students identify the different elements that belong to the Noble Gas family. In this chemistry lesson plan, students design a neon sign. They research how they are made and share their work with the class.

In this elementary particle mass learning exercise, 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...

In this mass spectrometer worksheet, young scholars read about how a mass spectrometer determines the elements in gases around Earth. Students answer 3 questions and identify the elements in a graph found by a mass spectrometer.

Upcoming chemists construct atom or molecule models out of candy. This is a classic idea that learners really enjoy; however, this lesson plan is vague. There is no instruction about the structure of atoms or molecules. Make sure you...

In this science instructional activity, students explore the learning outcomes for a unit on chemical reactions. Students define 60 vocabulary words and answer a list of questions for each topic.

Binary compounds are explained with the periodic table, atomic charges, and examples. Viewers are taught to name binary compounds and then are presented with a chart of cations and ions. Finally, they see a few photos of forms of silicon...
