In this chemistry terminology instructional activity, students review and discuss nineteen terms associated with chemistry and then locate and circle each term in a word search puzzle.

Students identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.

Pupils write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry lesson, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Pupils predict the shape of molecules using VSEPR theory. In this chemistry lesson plan, students differentiate a polar and nonpolar molecule. They discuss why water's polarity is very important.

Students create a polymer to demonstrate its properties and develop an awareness of the wide variety of uses for polymers.

Students examine carbon dioxide and determine the impact of greenhouse gases on the earths spheres.  For this pollution lesson students complete a lab activity to see the impact of gases on the environment, 

Students plot earthquake and volcano data using a Compass Rose Plotting. They explain the relationship between plate movement and connection. They draw conclusions that earthquakes and volcanoes occur in predictable locations.

Students quantify the relationship between temperature, energy and heat and define an endothermic reaction. They measure the energy change caused by dissolving one mole of ammonium nitrate in water.

Students identify how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. They identify how to use the periodic table to identify metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and halogens, and also,...

Students relate to the idea of periodicity & give example of other periodic events and identify and use the periodic table as a useful resource. They also identify the relationship of elements to certain groups & periods &...

Students are introduced to the periodic table. They find the common trends among the electron configurations and the names of certain groups of the table. Students explore the atomic mass, atomic number, mass number, mass and charge...

Students, in groups, take samples from a creek and keep a field journal on their samples. They also perform tests on their samples.

Students demonstrate radioactive decay using candy corns. In this Physics lesson, students make predictions, collect data and form conclusions about patterns in radioactive decay.

In this science learning exercise, students apply themselves to the acquisition of new vocabulary while solving the crossword puzzle.

In this science word puzzle, students fit words to shapes using a set of 15 definition clues. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

For this science vocabulary worksheet, students match the letter of the science vocabulary word to the number next to its definition. Students match 15 words to 15 definitions.

In this science spelling worksheet, students are given science word definitions, then fill in missing letters to form their matching spelling words. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students apply the principles of chemistry to investigate the concept of how a hydrogen powered car works. They study the electrochemical reactions that provide the energy source. Students also record observations in the functioning of a...

In this science activity, students select twenty-five scientists from the list to fill in their bingo card. Then they match each of the scientists listed to their correct description strip.

Students develop a concept of the relative size of objects in the nanoscale. They complete an internet assignment using the website,"Scaling the Universe to Your Desktop". Using analogies to common objects they get an appreciation for...

Learners create a polymer ball in the lab. In this chemistry lesson, students identify the different properties of the polymer they created. They explain what type of chemical reaction took place.

This unit covers introductory concepts of mixtures and solutions. Students think about how mixtures and solutions, and atoms and molecules can influence new technologies developed by engineers. The first lesson explores the fundamentals...

Acting as a subtopic of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook's section on Atoms and the Periodic Table, this site discusses the limits associated with classical physics. Topics covered include light and heat with additional information...

An overview of the differences between the metal and non metal groups. Includes a lot of information on the periodic table and has a plethora of graphs.
