Middle schoolers determine the wattage of appliances found in the home. They identify ways to conserve energy and calculate the number of kilowatt-hours that appliances use. They also discover the costs per kilowatt-hour for the appliances.

In this compounds worksheet, students practice writing ion notation and making ionic compounds. Students make covalent bonds. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank and 18 problems to solve.

For this naming and covalent compounds worksheet, students answer 6 questions about ion notation, they make 6 ionic compounds, they make 6 covalent compounds and they name 10 compounds which are ionic, covalent or polyatomic.

Students investigate static electricity. In this physics lesson, students participate in an experiment with balloons to demonstrate how static electricity works.

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...
