Summary of Shapes of Molecules
Neatly organized and easy to read, this chart summarizes five different molecular shapes: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral. It associates shapes with electron pairs and atom arrangement and lists...

Working out the Shapes of Molecules
For this molecular geometry worksheet, learners are given directions and four examples for predicting the geometry of molecules. They determine whether the molecules are pyramidal or trigonal bipyramidal.

Aware of the Air
It's there, even though no one can see it. Scholars create two different-sized parachutes out of shopping bags, then let them fall through the air. They should see that the larger parachute falls more slowly and interpret this to mean...

Heat - Energy on the Move
Turn up the heat. Individuals conduct two experiments to observe the difference between heated water and air versus cold water and air. Using food coloring, pupils observe the movement of the molecules in the two temperatures of water. A...

A Closer Look at Crystals
It's about to become crystal clear! Learners compare and contrast three different types of crystal substances. First they observe their structure and then investigate how they interact with various substances.

Combustion of Alcohols
For this combustion worksheet, learners complete two problems using a table showing the amount of heat released when different alcohols burn. They then create two graphs plotting the energy release against the number of carbon atoms.

Alkanes and Alkenes
In this alkanes activity, students use a data table to plot a graph of boiling point against the number of carbon atoms. They also define cracking and double bonds. This activity has five short answer questions.

Alkanes: Physical Properties
For this alkanes worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the number of carbon atoms for the given alkanes. Kids plot a graph showing how physical properties change with the number of carbon atoms. Then, students...

Maths for AS Chemistry
No practice problems are given on this handout; it is a detailed list of concepts to know and tips for working related problems in chemistry. Give this to learners as a study guide, or use it early in your career as a chemistry...

Synthesis and Characterization of CdSe Quantum Dots
Does the size of a sample change the physical properties of that substance? It turns out it can! Young scientists combine physics and chemistry to synthesize CdSe quantum dots and record their color properties. Learners should...

University of Colorado: Ph Et Interactive Simulations: Molecule Polarity
An interactive simulation that teaches about polarity, electronegativity, and bonds by changing the electronegativity of atoms and bond angles in a molecule to see how it affects polarity. This simulation can either be downloaded or...

The Atom's Family: Mighty Molecules
In this activity, students construct models of molecules using marshmallows and gum drops.

Science Buddies: Study Chirality With a Homemade Polarimeter
Some molecules can be either left- or right-"handed." The left- and right-handed molecules have the same number and type of atoms, and their chemical structures look identical, but they are actually mirror images of each other. Many...

Bill Nye: Hole Y Water
This tutorial from Bill Nye uses an experiment with water and sugar to show how matter is mostly empty space.
