Feeling a little neutral about your pH and pOH teaching strategy? Perk it up with engaging puzzles! Young scientists relate ion concentration to pH and pOH, as well as the dissociation constant for water. The resource is available as an...

Sometimes playing games in class isn't a bad thing. Science sleuths evaluate and calculate pH and pOH with an online resource. They then manipulate concentration information and relate it during a series of puzzles.

Ready to add some innovation to your significant figures lesson? Pupils practice sig fig rules using a puzzle approach. Check out the Teacher's Area for printable materials, an answer key, and strategies for implementing the resource.

Learning names and formulas can be a daunting task for young chemists, so support their study with interactive puzzles! First, users match each formula with its correct name. Then, individuals use them to complete three logic games.

Let's get specific about the general conclusion. The video, a portion of an extensive geometry playlist, introduces inductive reasoning. Using patterns, the resource explains how inductive reasoning goes from the specific to general.

In this deductive reasoning worksheet, students use clues to tell the nationality, beverage, snack, house color and pet of five people.

In this deductive reasoning worksheet, students use 7 clues to determine the ages and relationships of 8 people. The page opens to the answer sheet.

Students develop a strategy list for problem solving by working with different types of problems. They recognize problems that may be solved using deductive reasoning and solve deductive reasoning problems.

What lies beyond the ground beneath our feet? Young geologists learn the four main layers of Earth with an engaging puzzle set. The interactive illustrates each layer, and users must place them correctly before they can progress to the...

It's a parade of prefixes! Chemistry scholars identify common prefixes used throughout the sciences using an interactive puzzle series. Learners solve puzzles by pairing the prefixes with the power of ten they represent.

How well do your young chemists know their acid-base reactions? Reinforce neutralization reaction and problem-solving skills with a challenging interactive. Learners examine the reactants, then predict the outcome in a series of...

Gamification is an educational sensation! Young scientists build their acid-base vocabulary skills through a series of puzzles focused on bases and the salts they form. The challenging activity comes complete with a printable version and...

Glassware everywhere! How do you help scholars learn to identify the different types of laboratory glassware? Introduce them to some of the main tools of the trade through interactive puzzles. Users match and manipulate items based on...

Is copper found as a raw material? Science sleuths manipulate the reactants and products found in the copper extraction process in a series of fun puzzles. The interactive engages learners in pairing formulas with their names while using...

One chemical formula—but how many different structures? Familiarize young chemists with the concept of isomers through simple, related games. Users identify each isomer base upon its name, structure, and type of isomerization in a set of...

How is a molecule's shape determined? Explore bond angles, lone pairs, and VSEPR theory through a logic-based activity. Chemists pull together information about the major molecular shapes, then use it to solve puzzles.

Naming complexes can be, well, pretty complex! Simplify a study of ligands using interactive puzzles. Junior chemists match up the name, formula, and complex name, then solve a series of logic games with the information.
