Bold boxes present parts of the periodic table, with some of the contents conveniently missing. Beginning chemists fill in the blanks, which may include the atomic number, atomic mass, atomic symbol, or element name. Beneath each box...

How did Rutherford determine that the nucleus was the center of an atom? Take a look inside the famous Gold Foil Experiment with an interesting interactive. Learners fire a beam of alpha particles at a nucleus containing variable...

Learners are able to discuss the difference between a proton, a neutron and an electron. They also can explain the difference between an ionic and a covalent bond. Students know the main structure of atoms and molecules. Student are able...

In this ions worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by filling in the number of protons and electrons plus the charge of the given ion.

In this static electricity worksheet, students experiment with balloons, plastic bags and flannel clothes to observe attraction and repulsion of objects. Students complete three data tables indicating the charge on the objects and if...

In this thermochemistry worksheet, students indicate whether the given processes are endothermic or exothermic reactions. Students complete the phase change diagram as well as define a given set of vocabulary words. Students calculate...

Upcoming chemists construct atom or molecule models out of candy. This is a classic idea that learners really enjoy; however, this lesson plan is vague. There is no instruction about the structure of atoms or molecules. Make sure you...

In this atomic structure worksheet, students use the periodic table to complete a chart for 11 elements/ions in terms of atomic number, number of protons, neutrons and electrons.

For this static electricity worksheet, high schoolers review terms and concepts relating to electricity. Students place 21 vocabulary words into a crossword puzzle.

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.

In this chemistry worksheet, students use the Internet to research the elements in the Periodic Table to locate the number of proton, neutrons, and electrons. They also draw pictures that illustrate one or more uses for their elements.

Students identify the location and change of the subatomic particles of an atom. They name the three subatomic particles. Students review what they can recall about subatomic particles. They are given a worksheet on the subatomic...

Students use reference skills to locate information about the periodic table. They identify elements by name, atomic number, atomic mass, symbol and properties. Students use mathematical processes to find the number of protons,electrons...

This is a very detailed site containing information on several sub-atomic particles including the Hadron.

Identify the basic structure of atoms, the building blocks for all matter.

Students can make a empty soda can roll with an electrically charged balloon.

This review from the Glenbrook South High School provides a series of questions on various topics associated with static electricity (such as electrical insulation). Answers and explanations are hidden, yet easily accessed from within a...
