For this reactivity series worksheet, 10th graders complete 10 short answer questions on metals. They identify and balance chemical reactions.

In this acids, bases and salts activity, high schoolers solve five problems in order to determine the molarity of solutions or the volume of substances to be added to make molar solutions. They also solve five dilution problems about acids.

Students observe the chemical reaction that occurs when salt is put on ice, and use the energy that is released to make ice cream.

Young scholars investigate how salt affects the state of ice. In this ice cream making instructional activity, students change the freezing temperature by adding salt and observing the results. Young scholars use experimentation and...

Students identify the different types of mixtures. They identify examples of solutions, suspensions, colloidal dispersions, and emulsions through a game and basic experiments.

In this chemical compounds activity, students write the formulas for the given covalent compounds and then write the names for the chemical formulas given. This activity has 16 problems to solve.

In this chemistry worksheet, students identify 12 compounds based on their chemical formulas and write chemical formulas for 12 additional compounds.

In this writing equations worksheet, high schoolers are given 6 chemical reactions and they write equations for each one including the reactants, the products and the states of matter.

In this pH worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by determining the pH and pOH of given solutions and then deciding if its an acid or base. Students write equations for dissociation reactions. This worksheet has 1 graphic...

Young scholars learn what happens when bleach comes in contact with various cloth fibers, chemical colors, nature and synthetics.

The best part of learning about equilibrium is that nothing changes. Young chemists observe four demonstrations during this instructional activity: equilibrium in a saturated solution, equilibrium with an acid-base indicator, equilibrium...

How exciting would it be for your chemistry class to produce their own "gold"? This experiment allows pupils to witness the chemical reaction of copper pennies as they react with zinc and sodium hydroxide to produce "gold" tokens. It is...

De-icing materials may have a harmful effect on our environment; have your class perform an experiment to test the nature of these effects. Scholars monitor the survival rate of a sample of daphnia as the concentration of a de-icing...

Ingredients in your shampoo are toxic enough to kill plants. The 16th installment of the series of 24 tests the toxicity level of various concentrations of SLS, a chemical found in nearly all shampoo. Learners prepare percent solutions...

In an electrolytic cell, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, the exact opposite of a battery! Lesson 15 in a series of 36 explores electrochemistry. Participants begin by reading and discussing oxidation/reduction...

Here is an engaging and hands-on lesson plan that allows high school chemists to demonstrate the effects of a catalyst on various chemicals. They garner knowledge of how reactants and products differ from one another, while...

Why do rocks break down over time? Learners explore this concept by simulating physical and chemical weathering of different types of rocks. They use an abrasive to demonstrate physical weathering and acid to demonstrate chemical...

There's no need to water down the resource. A tutorial takes learners through the process of creating dilutions for any solution. Specifically, it focuses on serial dilutions with successive factors of 10.

Household materials can be used for more than cleaning! In this collaborative experiment, emerging chemists use products such as vinegar and liquid antacid to explore chemical reactions that commonly occur in the human body.

Surface area certainly surfaces as a variable for chemical reaction rates. Scholars perform an experiment to discover how the size of catalysts affect the rate of a chemical reaction. They record their results in tables and graphs to...

A penny can be a much more valuable teaching tool that you might think. Whether you are teaching about chemical reactions, surface tension, the behavior of gases, or are just looking for engaging activities for early finishers,...

It's the moment of truth. Previous lessons in the 24-part series had scholars design and develop shampoo formulas using chemical concepts. The 18th lesson asks them to test the function of their shampoos. To do this, they calculate the...

What has more energy than a room full of pupils after a fire drill? This lesson plan! Explore the changes in energy during different chemical reactions, discover why some reactions feel cold and others feel hot, and tackle the concept of...

In this acids and bases worksheet, students identify the strengths of acids and  bases and indicate the concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions. They determine if given chemical formulas are acids or bases, they find...
