It's like a periodic table variety show! When the plethora of periodic table apps becomes ho-hum, this one may revive interest.

Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.

Students observe the periodic table and draw the Lewis Dot Diagram.  For this investigative lesson students construct information on several elements including the Lewis Dot Formation and take a quiz on the information they...

Fourth graders examine matter and the periodic table of elements. In this matter lesson, 4th graders discuss atoms and their composition. Students explore the periodic table of elements and use it to spell words out of the elements.

Students interpret basic chemical formulas. When class begins, students interpret a "chemical formula" for fruit salad. After they interpret the recipe, students use the same strategies to identify chemical formulas. They evaluate the...

Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.

Eighth graders interpret the chemical symbols and shorthand used for molecules and equations. Through guided practice, 8th graders work to decipher and interpret the symbols for chemical equations. An opportunity for independent...

The purpose of this lesson involves reviewing nomenclature and molecular formulas as well as introducing naming molecular compounds and identifying acids. The students investigate and understand how conservation of energy and matter is...

High schoolers record information from the periodic table for sodium and chloride. They determine whether salts are molecular or ionic compounds, along with sodium chloride's molecular weight, and relative weights

Students practice naming and writing formulas for simple chemicals. After a review of vocabulary, they create ion flash cards and discuss the rules for writing chemical compounds. They practice naming and writing the formulas based on...

Learners identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.

Students differentiate physical and chemical change. In this chemistry lesson, students list examples of those changes. They apply what they learned in a Jeopardy style team game.
