Inter-State Matters

Here is a unique assigment: compare and contrast ionic and covalent compounds in an extensive data table and then analyze Lewis dot structures in antoher. Three columns are to befilled in: "characteristic or feature," "applies to ionic...

Learners explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson plan, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an element they...

Introduce your young chemists to alkali metals, alkali earth metals, transition metals, metalloids, nonmetals, halogens, and noble gasses with a presentation that explains the classes of elements and a few facts about each. 

Need help reading those phase diagrams given in chemistry class? This video module provides a good review of how to read the diagrams which show the different states of matter and when they transition to another state according to...

From hydrogen to ununoctium, this collection of videos has everything you need to begin teaching about the periodic table. Offering descriptions of each element and interesting experiments demonstrating their properties, this resource is...

Don't get mixed up about the differences between elements, mixtures, and compounds! Part one of a six-part series discussing these important classifications of substances illustrates simple tests one can perform to determine a material's...

Students examine a periodic table of elements to identify the various physical and chemical properties of the elements listed. Information gathered is used to create a commercial.

Students identify and describe transition metals. They discuss alloys and their benefits. Students research one common, alloy, its composition, properties, and uses. They are asked for some common properties of most transition metals....

There are three basic states of matter: Solid, liquid, and gas. Help your learners with visual impairments to understand the chemical nature of each state of matter with tactile elements. Marbles are used to model the particles in each...

Student teams use a digital camcorder and iMovie to create a commercial about an element. They also use the Internet and their textbook to gather the following information about their element: the name, the symbol, the atomic number, the...
