Get down to basics with these worksheets on the structure of atoms. Challenging young chemists to identify information from the periodic table and create Bohr diagrams and Lewis dot structures for different elements, this...

Teaching young scientists about atoms is no small task, but this series of worksheets will make it a little easier. From creating and labeling Bohr models, to identifying information provided in the periodic table of elements,...

Max Born and Fritz Haber developed the Born-Haber cycle in 1916, which is used for measuring enthalpy that otherwise couldn't be measured. Young scientists solve four matching puzzles using their knowledge of the stages, standard...

The fifth lesson of seven in the series outlines an in-depth analysis of the periodic table. After direct instruction, pupils take turns practicing in the group before beginning independent study. The assessments include a...

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

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.

Students identify the different periodic trends. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss how elements are arranged in the periodic table. They apply what they have learned in a Jeopardy team game.

Students use reference skills to locate information about the periodic table. They identify elements by name, atomic number, atomic mass, symbol and properties. Students use mathematical processes to find the number of protons,electrons...

Eighth graders investigate the different elements of the Periodic Table. For this chemistry lesson, 8th graders pick an element to research, then present to the class using a powerpoint presentation or a poster.

Changing the number of neutrons in an atom makes it an isotope, but it does not change the element. Pupils complete logic puzzles, matching isotopes with their unique number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Either on paper or timed...

Communicate chemistry clearly with a concise guide to writing chemical equations. It covers everything from the parts of a chemical equation to the different types of reactions that budding chemists may encounter.

If your class is learning about polyatomic ions and needs a fun way to study those chemicals, then a bingo game might be right up your alley. This bingo game is intended to boost memorization skills, specifically the names of tricky...

Learners write the electron configuration of elements in the ground state. In this chemistry instructional activity, students draw how subatomic particles are arranged in the atom. They construct Lewis dot diagrams of valence electrons.

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.

Students 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.

Learners write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry lesson, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

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...

Students practice with writing and balancing simple chemcial equations. they comprehend that chemical equations are a method of using a set of univeral symbols to represent what happens experimentally in chemical reactions. Pupils...
