Curated OER
The Physical Setting
Students study atoms and their protons and neutrons. In this physical setting instructional activity students work together to complete a lab activity.
Curated OER
The Physical Setting
Ninth graders study the configuration of atoms in molecules to see that it determines the molecule's properties. In this chemistry lesson plan students divide into groups and complete their assigned task.
Curated OER
The Physical Setting
Tenth graders examine chemical reactions. In this chemistry lesson students choose an investigation that they wish to perform based on their interest.
Curated OER
Radioactive Beans
Students investigate radioactive atoms. In this radioactive beans lesson, students experiment with split peas and beans to determine what happens when a radioactive atom decays.
Curated OER
Stoichiometry
For this stoichiometry worksheet, high schoolers calculate balance the chemical equations and then calculate the moles needed to complete or activate the chemical reaction. Students also calculate the volume or grams needed for each...
Curated OER
Creating Bonds
In this creating bonds activity, students create 2-D and 3-D models of the molecular formula provided. Students complete a chart of information about the molecular formula given.
Curated OER
Structure of Matter
In this matter worksheet, students review the structure of matter including elements, atoms, and the periodic table. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.
Curated OER
Atoms
For this neutral atoms worksheet, students identify various neutral atoms found on the periodic table. They determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for each neutral atom listed on the sheet. Students also identify that Z...
Curated OER
Hazardous Waste
Students define technology and relate the definition to the production of electricity using nuclear energy. They also list the technologies involved and relate the use of these technologies to their effect on society in general, and...
Curated OER
Sleuth Rays
Young scholars conduct a close examination of the atom's electrons, and discover how to theorize the energy levels, observe the brightness of light, classify colors, and measure temperature.
Curated OER
Science: Not just Gold
Students articulate a possible relationship between arsenic and gold deposits in a written statement using data to substantiate the relationship they describe. They use real data to determine the source of the arsenic in the drinking...
