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

Students understand the difference between four different types of chemical reactions: composition, synthesis, single replacement, and double replacement and identify the type of reaction and predict the products of these types of...

In this chapters 2 and 3 science guided reading worksheet, students read corresponding material pertaining chemical reactions and the periodic chart answering 40 fill in the blank questions.

Students perform varied activities as part of a layered curriculum unit: They write and perform a skit that outlines the evolution of the model of the atom. The script is submitted to the teacher for review before performance.

Students complete a Webquest which investigates the chemistry in items such as shampoo. They research the Internet, perform a lab experiment, and write a scientific lab report with their findings. Upon completion of the activities, the...

Students identify the properties of transition metals. In this chemistry lesson, students research facts and uses of one aluminum product they choose. They create an advertisement highlighting aluminum's useful properties.

In this minerals and rocks activity, students answer questions about the chemistry of minerals, scratch tests, rocks and the rock cycle, and erosion and deposition.

In this Bohr model activity, students draw 16 diagrams given atoms in the periodic table and must show the energy level diagrams indicating the electrons in each energy level.

Giving a clear review of the basic properties of the metals in groups one and two on the periodic table, this slide show would be useful for early learners of chemistry. Your class will learn about the trends down the groups, such...

In this atoms worksheet, students use their knowledge of the periodic table and of atomic structure to complete the table on atoms. They identify the notation for each and then the atomic number, mass number, the number of protons,...

In this drawing Lewis structures worksheet, students read about the 5 steps taken to draw Lewis structures for atoms and molecules. These include identifying the valence electrons, placing pairs of electrons between atoms to be bonded,...

In this chemistry activity, students complete a crossword puzzle with 25 questions on chemical reactions. They identify common terminologies used in describing chemical reactions.

In this chemistry worksheet, students classify each chemical compound as a ketone, amine, aldehyde, or ether. Students also write a condensed formula and classification for the given organic products.

Study corrosion on bronze statues with a hands-on lesson. As pupils place a penny in water with salt, they observe the changes in the penny throughout a period of a week. They then analyze the pre-conservation and the...

Fifth graders examine the carbon cycle, periodic table, and photosynthesis and respiration. They analyze the periodic table and how it is organized, then complete the "Elementary, Dear Watson" worksheet. Students then examine a carbon...

Abracadabra! Provide your class with the tools to perform a chemical "magic show" as they predict the charges of various ions, determine ionic compound formulas, and make observations to determine when a chemical reaction between...

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

For this molecular formula worksheet students fill in a table describing elements and chemical formulas. They identify, elements by type and how they bond. The student analyze molecular formulas to identify the number of atoms and if the...

Fourth graders study the charges on ions and familiarize themselves with a quick way to remember charges based on location of elements on the periodic table. They complete a worksheet and share their answers with the class.

Pupils identify the type of bonding between two atoms of elements given their electronegativity values. They study the trend of electronegativity across the periodic table in small groups.

In this chemistry worksheet, students use the periodic table to complete the chart shown, filling in all of the missing information in the blank spaces. They identify and describe various elements found in the periodic table.

Students discuss the physical and chemical properties of metals and non-metals. As a group, they classify items as a metal or non-metal. Using the periodic table chart, students discuss the characteristics of each metal. Based upon...

The goal of this science lesson is to have youngsters be able to identify the physical and chemical changes in the carbon cycle, and water cycle due to weathering. The in-class inquiry/experiment is quite interesting and easy to...
