In this ions instructional activity, 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. Kids complete the phase change diagram as well as define a given set of vocabulary words. Students calculate mass...

Students discover that charge movement through a circuit depends on the resistance and arrangement of the circuit components. In a hands-on activity, students build and investigate the characteristics of series circuits. In another...

Students gain an understanding of the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and experience recognizing a conductor by its material properties. They build a conductivity tester to determine whether different objects are...

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...

Use this word search to practice physical science vocabulary words. This word search allows you to determine the amount of columns and rows you would like to include; however, when you change the amount columns and rows, the word list...

Learners research an assigned biogeochemical cycle. In this cycle activity, students need to determine that all cycles need energy to continue. The learners will look at a given cycle to describe it, research and draw an assigned cycle,...

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 resonance structures worksheet, students are given 4 rules to writing resonance structures. These include rules about electrons associated with atoms, the unpaired electrons, structures without octets and structures with more...

In this elements worksheet, students write the electron configurations for given elements. Students describe ionization energy and electron affinity and the periodic trends for both. This worksheet has 20 short answer questions.

In this static electricity activity, students review terms and concepts relating to electricity. Students place 21 vocabulary words into a crossword puzzle.

In this chemistry instructional activity, 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 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 review how physical and chemical change while discussing the properties. They diagram the electron dot for the first four elements in the periodic table. Students identify elements and state what they know while investigating...

Learners act out different types of circuits, and create their own circuits using wire, a bulb, a battery and a switch.

Young scholars discover that there are many facets to the electron in chemistry such as electron cloud. They view movies an animations of electrons. Students visit links pertaining to electrons.
