Young scholars explore an interactive program about the periodic table. They use the Kalzium software to dynamically explore the relationships between elements, the periodic table and properties of the elements.

Eighth graders explore information about the periodic table of elements. Using the Internet, 8th graders choose one element to research. They complete an "Adopt and Element" information sheet. Using Microsoft Word, students create an...

In this atom learning exercise, students fill in three charts using the periodic table to identify atomic number, atomic mass, number of subatomic particles and the element's symbols. Students draw an atom and it's subatomic particles as...

Middle schoolers classify materials. In this chemistry lesson, students examine the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Middle schoolers discover the elements, compounds, and chemical symbols.

Students observe a demonstration on how we see space between water molecules.  In this experimental lesson students discover what elements make up the things around them and discuss what they learned. 

In this bonds activity, students complete a graphic organizer by determining if the compounds given are metals or non-metals and if it has a covalent or ionic bond.

Learners create table to display GED Testing data located in paragraph provided by teacher, use information in table to create appropriate graph, and determine percentage difference between passing scores and failing scores.

In this chemistry worksheet, students study the composition of the elements in the periodic table using an interactive website.

If your class is learning about polyatomic ions and needs a fun way to study those chemicals, then a bingo game might be right up your alley. This bingo game is intended to boost memorization skills, specifically the names of tricky...

Young scholars 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 periods, groups, valence electrons and masses worksheet, students are given information about all these components of the periodic table. Students identify 4 elements in specific periods and groups, they find the valence...

In this chemistry review worksheet, students read about atoms and the periodic table and they complete a chart using the periodic table to find the atomic number, atomic mass and group of given elements. Students answer 5 questions about...

What an exciting way to introduce your blossoming chemists to the world of metals, nonmetals, metalloids, and polymers! Here is a lab activity that is designed to allow pupils the opportunity to visualize the reaction of metals,...

Using simple materials, an informative lesson demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Matter and explains how to balance chemical equations. Young chemists perform experiments, analyze reactions, and balance chemical equations...

In this elements worksheet, learners use a data table to graph the elements and their melting points. Students have eight elements to graph.

In this chemistry learning exercise, students calculate specific changes that take place with different chemical reactions. Students indicate whether the reactions are endothermic or exothermic and spontaneous or nonspontaneous.

For this instructional activity about elements, learners review the electron configuration of given elements and then complete the electron diagrams for the transition metal elements. This instructional activity has five problems to solve.

Learners discuss matter and atoms using this resource. First, they look at a website describing atoms. Then, they learn about the periodic table and discuss how it is organized. Finally, they create a comic strip to display their...

The majority of this presentation is a collection of diagrams and graphs that back your lecture on biogeochemical cycles. The last few slides define ecosystems and the Gaia hypothesis. You may find these slides valuable, but will...

Students determine the average mass of a new element using masses from three isotopes. In this chemistry instructional activity, students explain what an isotope is. They discuss their importance and uses.

Students discuss transition metals, where they are located on the periodic table, some of the element in the group, and some characteristics of the group. They work in groups to conduct an experiment in which they mix transition metals...

Learners 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 chemistry worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle by rearranging 13 anagrams about elements. They create their own anagrams from 3 given words.

Ninth graders conduct research on the subject of sea water. They use a variety of resources to obtain information. There are helpful resource links listed in the lesson. In conjunction with the research students make inquiry of the...
