Students describe the science of physics. In this Physics lesson, students observe examples of physics within their classroom. Students create a definition for physics.

Young scholars examine the concepts of isotopes and atoms.  In this powerpoint lesson, students see the balance in numbers  of protons, neutrons, and electrons create isotopes and ions of certain atoms.

Students participate in an Electron Square Dance in which they act the part of atoms. They follow the structure of different atoms suggested by the teacher.

In this nuclear power activity, students compare fission and fusion. Students learn about the different kinds of radiation. This activity has 2 short answer questions and 10 matching questions.

Young scholars examine the periodic table and how it was developed.  In this chemistry lesson students identify common properties and uses of elements within a family. 

Twelfth graders investigate the proper filling order of electrons in the energy levels of an atom. They practice how to "read" these occupied energy levels as electron configurations and demonstrate their understanding through creative...

Students describe how elements are arranged on the periodic table. They compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties and on their locations in the periodic table. Students describe the differences between a...

For this static electricity worksheet, students review terms and concepts relating to electricity. Students place 21 vocabulary words into a crossword puzzle.

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...

In this science puzzle worksheet, students solve a crossword puzzle related to matter. For example, "Scientist who discovered protons."

In this elements instructional activity, students write the electron configurations for given elements. Students describe ionization energy and electron affinity and the periodic trends for both. This instructional activity has 20 short...

Fourth graders compare electricity and magnetism. In this science instructional activity, 4th graders discuss the concepts of electricity and magnetism and brainstorm examples of electrical and magnetic forces.

Students read an article about radon and its properties. They examine a periodic table and identify the numbers surrounding an element. They discuss the harmful and helpful effects of radiation.

Students investigate the atom and how it is formed. They conduct research using a variety of resources and then construct a model of the atom. Then students have class discussion. The lesson includes background information for the...

High schoolers apply their knowledge of relativity and nuclear radiation to the concept of cold fusion. They also read the article from the website listed in the related and resource websites and discuss the article with the class.

For this literacy worksheet, students find the words that are in the word search puzzle that focus upon the vocabulary that is from the theme of the sheet.
