In this pop rock chemistry worksheet, students suck on pop rocks, they mix open pop rocks with water and they observe them on a paper towel with water. Students write down as many observations as they can and they write down as many...

Students apply the science of chemistry to soil and plant relationships. They define diffusion and indicate for which of these nutrient(s) would you expect diffusion to be the most important for movement to the plant root? Pupils...

Students investigate the properties of water. In this chemistry of water lesson plan, students observe a demonstration of the properties of water using sand, sugar, oil, vinegar and salad dressing. Students experiment with water, pepper,...

Students investigate foods that are indicators, and acids and bases. For this food chemistry lesson plan, students test household products with litmus paper and with food indicators. They use blackberry, onion and red cabbage indicators...

Students explore different activities in biology, physics and chemistry. In this science lesson, students examine chromosomes using a microscope and explain their significance in sustaining life on Earth. They investigate alkanes and...

Students investigate chemical reactions. In this chemistry lesson plan, students burn magnesium and record the mass. Students list five chemical reactions they see everyday.

In 1977, scientists discovered hot springs in the middle of deep, cold ocean waters near the Galapagos Islands. Scholars research the chemical reactions that explain what scientists found at the Lost City. A discussion connects many...

This link takes you to a comprehensive unit that delves into emission spectra and supernovas. There are four parts: How and where elements are created, electromagnetic radiation, spectroscopy, and the newest technology for studying our...

Fifth graders examine polymers and how they are formed.  In this chemistry lesson students complete their own polymer experiment then discuss what they learned. 

Hopefully by the time high schoolers are enrolled in your chemistry class, they are skilled with unit conversion. It does not hurt, however, to take an hour early in the school year to review this vital skill. This plan simply provides a...

The Environmental Protection Agency monitors sensors to track air pollution and set clean air standards. Enthusiastic young scientists use similar sensors to gather data in their area and then apply the gas laws and conservation of...

What are the issues surrounding water quality? Viewers of this short presentation gain information about the importance of clean water, the lack of fresh water, water contamination, and ways that engineers treat water. 

When life hands you lemons ... experiment on them! Green chemistry gurus compare extraction methods for essential oils through a lab activity. Lab groups use traditional distillation and liquid carbon dioxide extraction...

Ready for a lab with a lot of razzle-dazzle? Young chemists observe flame tests of common salts through an always-popular activity. The updated resource focuses on observation skills, collaboration, and green chemistry practices.

Students develop a video lab book. In this web-based activity, students use flip cameras and the Web to create a video lab book of the labs they conducted through out the year. This will enable them to be better prepared for the AP exam...

Students use Tootsie-Roll Pops to become familiar with atoms and chemical formulas. They, in groups, find more combinations of Tootsie-Roll Pops than the other lab groups within 3 minutes (Round 1), and within 5 minutes (Round 2).

Fourth graders explore properties of bubbles. In this lesson about bubbles, 4th graders perform an experiment. Students analyze the properties of bubble making substances and surface tension. Students create a square bubble. Students...

Scientists require specific chemical solutions for their experiments. In the seventh and final installment in a series that integrates chemistry and algebra II, scholars learn to set up a system of equations to solve the volume of a...

Many high school science courses rely on mastery of algebra skills. In an integrated chemistry and Algebra II lesson scholars review solving equations for a specified variable with a worksheet. They use common chemistry equations to...

Scholars apply concepts learned in both Algebra II and Chemistry to answer the questions on the provided worksheet. The activity allows for extra practice in both classes and helps connect concepts usually taught in isolation. The...

Matrices help solve systems of equations in chemistry, computer graphics, circuitry, probability, and more. The second lesson in a seven-part series focuses on using matrices to balance chemical equations. Pupils rely on the Law of...

For this chemistry worksheet, students look at the diagrams for the chemistry reaction. Then they write down the correct chemical reaction.

In this chemistry worksheet, students look for the weight of acid and examine its mass using chemical equations and a laboratory procedure.

In this science worksheet, students look for the chemistry elements and how they are combined to create molecular compounds with the help of atomic models.
