Eighth graders read and interpret the Periodic Table. They also make decisions on how to group and arrange different kinds of matter and draw the structure of atoms of pure elements. Finally, 8th graders contrast and compare basic...

Students watch instructor present demonstrations of the basic principles of static electricity, and then conduct some of their own experiments. In small groups, students build simple circuits, using batteries, to try to light up a light...

Students reinforce the concept that static electricity is a phenomenon that involves positive and negative charges.

Students explore the properties of water and how it changes states. In this kindergarten to 2nd grade science lesson plan, students pair a hands-on science activity with two suggested books. This inquiry lesson plan...

In this static electricity worksheet, learners use balloons, flannel cloths, and a plastic bag to create static electricity. Students then fill out 3 tables and answer 3 short answer questions.

Students observe the periodic table and draw the Lewis Dot Diagram.  In this investigative activity students construct information on several elements including the Lewis Dot Formation and take a quiz on the information they...

Pupils review atomic numbers, positive and negative charges, and the periodic table. They examine the relationships among protons and electrons, location of various elements, electron energy levels, and oxidation numbers.

In this elements worksheet, students determine the atomic number, mass, number, electrons, protons, and neutrons for elements. Students review the electromagnetic spectrum. This worksheet has 1 graphic organizer and 13 multiple choice...

In this chemistry practice test worksheet, students answer 30 multiple choice questions regarding chemical formulas and chemical names for compounds.

Students investigate vocabulary words associated with electricity.  In this electrical lesson, students utilize the Internet to research what electricity is and how it works.  Students create an actual circuit in class using a...

High schoolers examine the atomic structure of elements.  In this chemistry lesson students organize elements of the periodic table according to their atomic mass, and compare their order within the periodic table. 

In this periodic table worksheet, students review the elements and how they are organized in the periodic table. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 6 multiple choice, and 5 short answer questions.

Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.

In this atoms crossword puzzle, students read 15 questions about atoms and fit the answers into a crossword. This difficult puzzle has no word bank.

In this periodic table worksheet, students create cards for a annotated periodic table then use it to answer 16 short answer and fill in the blank questions.

This worksheet lists background information for a lab on the topics of atom smashers, accelerators or colliders. It clearly states the Rules of the Game -- science laws that apply. Student do the lab and track their results in the given...

Students explore what causes differences in density. They observe an models depecting atoms, compounds, and molecules. Students determine if there is air in between atomic bonds. They study the structure and spacing of molecular bonds.

Students examine electric fields using viewers to discover the direction of positive charges and the location of the field's strength. They experiment with positive, negative, like and opposite charges. Students also describe how...

In this etymology worksheet, students read about the history of naming words and how words are named. They think critically by answering three questions about the meaning of words, etymologies and the derivation of words.

In this chemistry instructional activity, students select the best answer for 26 multiple choice questions from the drop down box. They describe how elements are arranged in the periodic table.

For this completing a chart of Elements or Ions worksheet, 6th graders fill in the blanks for the Atomic Number, Number of Protons, Number of Neutrons, and Number of Electrons. Students fill in 44 blanks.
