The creator of this collection of chemistry slides is clever! Electron configuration is explained as, click-by-click, orbitals are displayed and then each is subsequently filled with the proper amount of electrons. After the progression,...

Why is water always so bent out of shape? Scholars investigate the molecular geometry of the water molecule using a 3-D resource. The interactive features options such as rotation and the ability to view electron pairs.

Delve into the world of quantum mechanics by viewing this PowerPoint. Chemistry novices learn about electron energy and shells, and they practice listing electron configuration for different atoms. Because this presentation provides...

Young mathematical scientists interact with protons and electrons in an atom to create a neutrally charged atom. They answer questions based on their findings throughout the interactive resource.

In this electron dot structures handout, new chemists read about electron arrangement and how to draw electron dot diagrams. They complete a chart with the mass number, atomic number, isotope notation, number of neutrons, and Bohr...

After drawing the valence electron distribution of 13 basic elements, there are spaces to draw 18 more complicated molecules.  For each molecule, there is space for a Dot structure and Lewis structure that best describes the distribution...

If you need a clarification of the electron transport chain for your pupils, then this slide show will be a great help. There are nice images of the membranes and elaborations of chemiosmosis which will provide learners support with...

In this electron configuration learning exercise, learners write the electron configurations of 22 elements and compare their valence electron configurations. They list the elements that are similar in terms of their electrons. They...

Although the directions say to view a PowerPoint, it is not necessary in order to complete this assignment. Six fill in the blank questions survey the periodic table of elements. A chart follows in which, given the element symbol, young...

Where does an electron reside? Chemistry scholars determine an electron's "address," that is, what orbital it can be found in. This resource is both instructional and practical,  providing a thorough explanation of energy levels and...

In this elements worksheet, students use the electron filling order shown to write the electron configuration for given elements. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.

Within this PowerPoint are the instructions for drawing electron dot structures and an explanation of how ions are formed. Several learning check slides are provided, along with the answers. This presentation is a compact, but compatible...

For this drawing orbital diagrams worksheet, 6th graders draw the electron configuration and orbital based on sublevels for given atoms. Students draw 8 orbital diagrams.

Lead the class on an investigation as they play detective and locate patterns in the electron arrangement of atoms. During the seventh lesson, they assign valence numbers to elements, organize the periodic table in the correct sequence,...

Learners see how electrons are transferred in the bonding of NaCl. They then create models of NaCl using styrofoam balls and toothpicks to assist them in explaining the formation of ions and ionic bonding. 

Excite your classes with an exploration of the kinetic energy of electrons. Scholars watch as excited electrons transfer their energy between one another. The simulation models this transfer while graphing the change in kinetic energy of...

Dispel the misconception that atoms are always little round balls! Illustrate changes in the electron cloud with an entertaining interactive. Pupils push and pull on the cloud by altering the charge on plates located on either side of...

Electrons could never be Bohring! The presentation covers where you find electrons in an atom. It begins with the Bohr Model, then moves on to the Heisenberg Principle and orbital shapes. It concludes with the concept of electron spin...

A short paragraph helps explain how covalent bonds are formed, and then your class will complete the Electron/Dot and Structural diagrams for the molecules given.  The valence diagrams will reinforce understanding. This activity would be...

Perfect for reviewing atomic components, this worksheet simply consists of a large, easy-to-read chart of 11 elements. Chemistry learners fill in the missing element symbol, number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, the atomic mass and...

Using the periodic table of elements, young chemists fill in a chart of isotopes to show the atomic number, mass, charge, number of protons, number of neutrons, and number of electrons. The chart is followed by 11 questions that...

Fifth graders conduct a class survey and share the results with a class in another state via an electronic bulletin board. This technology-rich lesson is an ideal way to have learners practice communicating with others through the use of...

Here's a fresh take on the student writing portfolio. Consider having learners create an electronic portfolio. After examining sample e-portfolios, class members explore various software programs they will use throughout the course and...

Students explain the electronic preparation and transmission of tax returns. They describe the ways to prepare and transmit tax returns and explain the benefits of electronic tax return preparation and transmission.
