Making models is always memorable. For this activity, physical science starters examine the structure of hydrocarbons using marshmallows, raisins, and toothpicks. They even act as atoms themselves and link arms to represent covalent...

High schoolers are able to discuss the difference between a proton, a neutron and an electron. They also can explain the difference between an ionic and a covalent bond. Students know the main structure of atoms and molecules. Student...

Students create models of ionic and covalent electronic bonds to demonstrate their understanding of these chemistry concepts. They explain how both ionic bonds and covalent bonds work so that younger students can understand.

Students develop an understanding of covalent and intermolecular forces. They are also introduced to ionic bonds, bond length, bond energy, dipole moment, geometry, and Lewis Dot Structure. Students prepare a lecture about bonding...

Learners demonstrate their understanding of a chemical process.  In this exploratory lesson students create a clay animation that shows how a specific type of chemical bond. 

Students create a foldable to help them remember topics on chemical compounds. In this physical science lesson, students differentiate ionic and covalent compounds. Given certain compounds, they identify whether it's ionic or covalent.

Learners explore online tutorial on polymers. In this chemistry activity, they create two polymers in the lab and compare their properties. They write a sales letter about their new and improved polymer product.

Students investigate the carbon dioxide content of different sodas. In this chemistry instructional activity, students explain why PET containers are preferable than HDPE for soda bottles. They collect data and graph them.

Young scholars conduct a series of experiments to explore carbon dioxide properties. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the production and uses of this gas. They measure its amount in soda and waste product of yeast.
