Chemistry Teacher Resources

Students conduct various experiments on chromatography. For this chemistry lesson, students distinguish among the different types of chromatography methods. They explain how the stationary and mobile phase interact with each other.

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students calculate the molar mass and the rate of reaction for the given chemical reactions. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

Students build a model of an atom using an online program. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss the different parts of the atom. They complete an independent research about their chosen element.

Students experiment with a series of circuits. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss voltage, resistance and current as they flow through an electrical circuit. They work in pairs to solve the questions.

Learners create a painting that clearly exemplifies the use of primary pigments to make secondary pigments. They demonstrate the distinction between value and saturation. They explain the affect of adjacent colors on each other and...

High schoolers find the density of two substances. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of water and ethyl alcohol and compare their densities. They enter their data into the computer to produce a class compiled...

For this structural formulas worksheet, students are given three condensed structural formulas and three non-condensed structural formulas. They draw the structural and graphic formulas for each compound.

In this aliphatic activity, students are given eight hydrocarbon molecules. They determine if they are alkanes, alkenes or alkynes. They draw a diagram of each and indicate if they are saturated or unsaturated.

In this naming hydrocarbons worksheet, students are given a table of the prefixes used for naming hydrocarbons based on the number of carbon atoms and their location. They then practice naming ten hydrocarbon compounds using the rules of...

In this endothermic and exothermic reactions worksheet, students experiment with water and a salt of choice to determine if heat is absorbed or released in the reaction. Students take the temperature of their solution over a 2 minute...

Fifth graders compare physical and chemical changes. They perform a simulation experiment/activity that replicates what happens in the stomach as food is digested by stomach acids.

In this phase change worksheet, students answer twenty questions about changes in energy to a system. They analyze phase diagrams, the determine the effects of changes in temperature on a system, they answer questions about miscibility,...

Students conduct an oxidation experiment in which they must determine how much hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is actually in a store-bought solution of H2O2.

Students investigate the periodic properties of elements in the periodic table. In this periodic properties lesson plan, students experiment with elements from the Alkaline Earth Metals, the Halogens, the Transition Metals, and for extra...

These slides introduce the basics of the Periodic Table structure and the history and reasoning behind its organization. A useful chart on the fifth page gives the main properties and differences between metals, non-metals and...

What is required to get a chemical reaction? Chemistry learners find out by viewing this slide show. They will be able to compare endothermic and exothermic reactions, as well as draw energy level diagrams for each. A lab activity is...

Eleven slides are used in this PowerPoint to present how nuclear magnetic resonance works and to give learners an opportunity to interpret examples of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Ample information is provided, so this is a...

This PowerPoint progresses slide-by-slide through all the facts you would want to deliver about acids, alkalis, salts, and the related lab tests. Each slide has one or two facts about a physical or chemical property or behavior. The...

First, beginning chemists assemble a large periodic table of elements. Then, they play a game in which they roll dice, move a marker along the elements, and collect pennies according to the number of valence electrons of the element that...

Students gain a perspective in the development of chemistry. They understand some of the topics in their text and the ongoing nature of research. They then will be able to see the trends of the periodic table first hand through their own...

Learners examine various techniques that can reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and use chemistry to simulate oceanic sequestration. They conduct an experiment involving the method of oceanic absorption for carbon sequestration,...

Students explore geologic sequestration as a technique used to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They use chemistry to stimulate oil mining. Students conduct an experiment to learn about geo carbon sequestration.

In this chemistry worksheet, students calculate the freezing point of a given solution. Students calculate the final temperature and state of the water in a given problem. Students solve several problems provided.

Students examine insect behavior in a lab activity. Students explore the idea of chemical specificity and the reactions of termites to a chemical found in their trail pheromone. Students watch a demonstration with termites before...
