Viewing this slide show prepares your chemistry scholars for chemical nomenclature. Specifically, binary hydrogen compounds and ternary compounds formed from oxyacids are dealt with. One highlight is a useful graphic organizer for naming...

What better way to learn how to use a microscope than building your own? A lab investigation has scholars use lenses from magnifying glasses and sheets of cork to design their own compound microscopes. They calculate focal length...

In this naming chemical compounds activity, high schoolers are given 9 lettered statements that they use to match with 10 statements about compounds. Students also review the rules for naming compounds by filling in 25 blanks to complete...

In this compounds learning exercise, students learn the steps to writing the formula for ionic compounds. This students work out the formula for 12 compounds.

In this compounds worksheet, learners use a flowchart to determine what a compound is made of and how to name the compound. Students complete 6 matching and 60 fill in the blank questions.

Young scientists use electrolysis to separate water into its elements before experimenting with fire to learn about their properties. A helpful resource provides a reading passage and analysis questions. 

In this compounds worksheet, learners draw a line to match the word with the definition. Students also match foods with their correct term.

In this making molecules worksheet, young scholars complete a table of elements with their symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, number of protons, number of electrons, period and group. Students then make models using pipe cleaners and...

Compound machines, nothing more than a combination of simple machines working together, are the focus of an activity that asks class members to use the provided information to take a look at the way innovators combine simple machines to...

In this chemistry worksheet, students write the structures for the compounds listed at the top of the sheet. Then they name the compounds whose structures are illustrated. Students also write the mechanism for the reaction of methyl...

In this ionic compounds learning exercise, students fill in 8 blanks with the appropriate terms, they determine if 4 statements are true or false, they match 4 terms with their definition and they name and write the formulas of...

In this chemical bonding instructional activity, students answer 76 questions about compounds, Lewis dot structures, intermolecular forces between atoms, electronegativity and bonding and types of bonds.

For this bonding worksheet, students read about the types of bonds that hold compounds together. They are given fifteen common materials and they identify the types of bonds that hold each together.

Steel is an example of homogeneous mixture, also called an alloy, which is made of iron and carbon. The presentation introduces learners to elements, compounds, and mixtures. They explore their similarities and differences, and then take...

The choice is simple: create a PowerPoint presentation, write a book, or invent a compound machine. Whichever project your young scientists choose, they will be engaged in creatively demonstrating their knowledge of simple...

In this naming compounds worksheet, students are given a chart to determine if the compound they are naming is ionic, covalent or polyatomic. Students practice identifying and naming ionic, covalent and polyatomic compounds. They define...

In this naming compounds with functional groups worksheet, learners read about using the IUPAC rules for naming these compounds and they draw structures for 3 -carbon, 2-carbon and 4-carbon molecules and give the names for each.

In this compounds worksheet, students compare ionic, covalent, and polyatomic compounds and give examples of each type. This worksheet has 1 matching, 3 problem solving, and 4 short answer questions.

Making models is always memorable. In this activity, physical science starters examine the structure of hydrocarbons using marshmallows, raisins, and toothpicks. They even act as atoms themselves and link arms to represent covalent...

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.

More than 80,000 scholars earned college credit for Chemistry with the AP exam in 2015. The College Board released the free-response questions covering topics, including moles, that often confuse scholars. They also released example...

Although the formatting is less than perfect and some of the pictures are blurry, the information in this presentation on plants is pertinent. Viewers will be able to compare and contrast plants with animals. They will learn about...

In this compounds worksheet, students learn the rules for naming compounds, the stock system. Students apply these rules by writing the names or formulas for the 20 given compounds.
