In this chemical families worksheet, students answer 8 multiple choice questions including identifying characteristics of families in the periodic table and answering specifics about each family.

Students explain the mole concept and use this concept to prepare chemical solutions of particular molarities.

In this AP Chemistry worksheet, students apply concepts of electron configuration to accurately answer the questions provided. Students also draw Lewis structures of the given elements. Students estimate the enthalpy of formation as well...

Young scholars are introduced to the characteristics of crystals and what keeps them together. Using the Periodic Table, they examine the various elements and develop a model of an atom. In groups, they place sugar and salt in petri...

Students are assigned to groups, and determine each member's role in the group. They will design an experiment to determine a way to produce the three primary and five secondary colors. Students discuss color and mood. They listen to a...

Eighth graders define a planet by the orbit around the sun, have a large enough gravitational force to hold a sphere shape and needs to clear the neighboorhood of it own orbital zone. They describe comets, meteoroids, meteor, meteorites...

Students create a polymer to demonstrate its properties and develop an awareness of the wide variety of uses for polymers.

Eighth graders view a PowerPoint presentation that assist them in distinguishing between physical and chemical changes. They compare their observations of demonstrations to a list of clues recognizing types of changes.

Students read an article about radon and its properties. They examine a periodic table and identify the numbers surrounding an element. They discuss the harmful and helpful effects of radiation.

Eighth graders sort items as they are shown one at a time by the teacher. They attempt to identify the one physical trait the teacher is looking for (metal and not metal). After several objects have been shown and placed in groups, the...

Students conduct a flame test on different substances. In this chemistry lesson, students predict the element present based on the color emitted during the flame test. They explain how different elements produce different colors.

Students investigate the atom and how it is formed. They conduct research using a variety of resources and then construct a model of the atom. Then students have class discussion. The lesson plan includes background information for the...

Fifth graders investigate atoms. In this atom lesson, 5th graders investigate the parts of an atom. Students explore atom numbers and determine the number of electrons is in each atom.

How can one easily classify metals, nonmetals, and metalloids? Pupils answer this question as they experiment with unknown substances and perform tests on conductivity, brittleness, and malleability to determine...

Students research about the chemical processes involved in cave formation. In this chemistry instructional activity, students draw or find a cave picture with stalagmites and stalactites online. They write a brief caption and share them...

How do one's habits and lifestyle choices affect the environment? Through a short online survey, learners will calculate their own carbon footprints then determine how to reduce their impact on the environment through simple steps, such...

Experiment with mass and density as scholars figure out what makes things float or sink. First, they watch a podcast introducing these concepts. Be sure to use the comprehension question to test their understanding. Young scientists...

Young scholars write electron configurations and identify groups.  In this investigative lesson students use valence electrons to draw electron dot structures. 

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete 29 fill in the bank questions about atoms based on the movie Exploring Atoms from the website www.brainpop.com .

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

In this compounds worksheet, students learn the rules for naming compounds, the stock system. Students apply these rules by writing the names or formulas for the 20 given compounds.

Students tour Chandra's top galactic X-ray images. In this Chandra X-Ray Observatory lesson, students play games and complete puzzles based on the Chandra Mission and X-Ray Astronomy. Students listen to pod casts, question an...

In this oxyanions worksheet, students identify the common polyatomic ions. They write formulas and name polyatomic ions based on IUPAC rules.

In this naming chemical compounds instructional activity, students are given 9 lettered statements that they use to match with 10 statements about compounds. Students also review the rules for naming compounds by filling in 25 blanks to...
