Students explore the unique properties of alkali metals. In this chemistry lesson, students create a mural of fireworks display after researching its different element components. They write a brief description about an alkali metal used...

In this radioactivity worksheet, students answer 40 questions about half life, isotopes, radioactive decay, the uses of radioactivity, nuclear equations and the scientists associated with radioactivity.

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

In this age of rocks worksheet, students answer five matching questions about terms related to the decay of atoms. They use a strip of paper to simulate half life of atoms and determine the total amount of time it took to deplete the paper.

After a short introduction, chemistry aces get right into drawing electron dot diagrams for covalent bonds. There are only three questions to answer, so this is not a comprehensive worksheet. It can be used when introducing your class to...

In this radioactivity quiz worksheet, middle schoolers complete a 10 question true/false quiz. Quiz is also available as a student handout and Powerpoint presentation. 

Words, words, words! This presentation uses plenty of them to define the atom, outline the history of what we know about atoms, and explain atomic and mass numbers. That's all! Informative, but not interesting, this slide show would be...

A note-taking resource for the topic of transport between cells. If formatting is important to you, there are some slight changes you'll need to make to this Word document to make it consistent. 

Students examine models of electrical potential. Students discuss the concept of electrical potential and relational causality. They compare models based on electric potential to those with cyclic simultaneous causality.

In this isotopes, molecular notation, and electron orbits worksheet, students read selections pertaining to isotopes, mass number, molecular notation, electric attraction, and electron orbits. In addition, students complete 11 short...

In this isotopes worksheet, students review mass number, molecular notation, electron attraction, and electron orbits. This worksheet has 5 matching and 5 short answer questions.

In this nuclear power worksheet, students compare fission and fusion. Students learn about the different kinds of radiation. This worksheet has 2 short answer questions and 10 matching questions.

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...

For this chemistry worksheet, students complete 29 fill in the bank questions about atoms based on the movie Exploring Atoms from the website www.brainpop.com .

In this electricity and circuits learning exercise, students read a 2 page article, answer 5 questions with multiple choice answers and read 10 statements and determine if they are true or false.

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

In this creating atoms worksheet, learners follow directions by creating atoms out of cotton balls, beads, and pipe cleaners. Students then answer 2 questions.

Students participate in an Electron Square Dance in which they act the part of atoms. They follow the structure of different atoms suggested by the teacher.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts related to solution chemistry. They calculate the molar mass of various chemical compounds. Then students predict the anion ratio for ionic compounds. Students also write...

In this acid and base activity, students review the characteristics of acids and bases, how to calculate pH of a solution, and define a buffered solution. This activity has 16 multiple choice questions and 3 problems to solve.

Students explain concepts related to static electricity, based on a single example: lightning.

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

Seventh graders, in groups, complete an Isotopes model and notice that atomic masses are decimal numbers. These masses are an average of all the isotopes of that element.

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