Introduction to Chemistry

Radiation has numerous real-world applications, some of which are relatively safe while others can be extremely hazardous. In this nuclear chemistry project, young scientists choose a practical use of nuclear reactions to...

A four-page assignment contains 28 stereochemistry problems for your advanced placement chemists. Topics addressed include asymmetric carbons, enantiomers and diastereomers, meso compounds,and  chiral and achiral molecules. The...

Help your class cross the finish line as they watch the final video in the series. Pupils complete a set of practice problems to demonstrate the correct way to determine the formulas for ionic mixtures, molecular compounds, and acids.

Is your organic chemistry class ready to branch out? Go out on a limb and show them a helpful video from JFR Science. The narrator addresses branched chain alkanes in the resource, complete with handy tips for identifying the parent...

The words organic chemistry and simple are not usually seen in the same sentence. Introduce the foundation of the science to young chemists with a video from JFR Science. Topics include the chemical classes of hydrocarbons, their uses in...

Everything around you is related to chemistry and more specifically, the energy within a system. The video explores how energy, in its different forms, changes after conversion — given off as heat or absorbed as heat  in...

Finding new drugs has been likened to finding a needle in a haystack. How do pharmaceutical companies do it? One of a small series of four informative leaflets examines combinatorial chemistry, the method at the forefront of new drug...

Do not pass this resource by! Everything you need to teach the property of density,and the separation of mixtures is here: an educational video, several classroom handouts, and a laboratory exercise. The video is engaging, though a...

"The name is Bond. James Bond." Or is that "Chemical Bond?" Assign the viewing of the video as homework, and then have your chemists come to class to practice drawing electron dot diagrams and Lewis structures with the several bonus...

Teaching is a balancing act! Keep things on an even keel with a comprehensive equilibrium lesson plan. The resource covers reversible and irreversible reactions, Le Chatelier's Principle, and the industrial applications of equilibrium...
