Students conduct experiments by mixing baking soda and vinegar.  In this chemistry lesson, students complete three different experiments involving these two substances. They find that the chemical reaction does not change and will...

Students research alchemy and the history of chemistry. In this chemistry history lesson, students examine laboratory apparatus and compare it to those used by the Alchemists. Students complete a research paper on an important...

Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students learn that baking is like a chemistry experiment as they make chemistry happen by following a recipe for pretzels.

In this chemistry worksheet, students learn about atoms and static electricity. They read about these topics and then use what they learned to answer the 11 questions on the page. The answers are on the last page of the packet.

In this chemistry worksheet, students can use the table to observe and name the common types of ions and determine the charges to explain the gain or loss of electrons.

Students examine and determine properties of polymers. They explore basic concepts of polymer chemistry and work in groups to produce a polymer, slime. In addition, they list examples of every day polymers and their benefits.

Students explore acids, bases, and indicators. They use turmeric solution, phenolphthalein, and goldenrod paper to determine the acidity and basicity of a variety of common household substances. A worksheet is included to record test...

Young scholars examine the physical properties of matter. They identify and classify a variety of objects based on their physical properties.

Students determine the density of a material created in the laboratory and observe physical and chemical changes. They engage in a lab activity, and answer questions on a worksheet imbedded in this plan.

Learners use Tootsie-Roll Pops to become familiar with atoms and chemical formulas. They, in groups, find more combinations of Tootsie-Roll Pops than the other lab groups within 3 minutes (Round 1), and within 5 minutes (Round 2).

Here is an interesting lesson which invites learners to focus on understanding and interpreting the symbols used in writing and communicating information about chemical elements, compounds, and equations. The hope is that this knowledge...

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...

Pupils review half-reactions and practice balancing redox equations in order to help them solve problems in chemistry.

In this chemistry worksheet, learners memorize a pneumonic phrase in order to remember the Gas Law and then apply this to other content as well.

Students differentiate heat and temperature. In this chemistry activity, students explain how heat moves between objects with different temperatures. They draw a picture to demonstrate the direction of heat movement.

High schoolers investigate the absorptivity of different colored food dyes. For this chemistry lesson, students explain how we see colors. They construct a graph of absorbance comparred with wavelength using experimental data.

High schoolers role play a group of people trying to convince investors to invest on their particular compound. In this chemistry activity, students research about different compounds formed by their assigned functional group. They...

Students investigate various substances to determine the perpetrator of a crime. In this biology lesson plan, students test for the presence of organic compounds in various samples. They identify an unknown substance based on its...

Students experiment with a series of circuits. In this chemistry activity, students discuss voltage, resistance and current as they flow through an electrical circuit. They work in pairs to solve the questions.

Young scholars discuss and compare what type of fluids will fill up a beaker first. For this chemistry lesson, students differentiate between pouring glue and water and which will fill the beaker first. They discuss the viscosity of each...

Ninth graders explain how a scanning tunneling microscope works. In this chemistry lesson, 9th graders construct atomic models and simulate how their images appear under the STM. They discuss the limitations of their atomic model.

Students study the development of batteries. In this electrochemistry lesson, students compare the different types of batteries. They explore its applications especially in the medical field.

Students identify the different types of batteries available in the market. For this science lesson, students discuss how to select the right batteries for a car.

Students watch a video about careers in chemistry. For this Chemistry lesson plan, students will research chemistry careers and chose one to do further research on.
