A table of the physical properties of metals and non-metals opens this high-school chemistry handout. Also covered are the chemical properties of metals and non-metals, reactivity, and fossil fuels. There are no specific questions to...

In "The Nature of Covalent Bonding," chemistry hopefuls demonstrate an understanding of various types of covalent bonds, electron configuration, and resonance structures through fill in the blank, true or false, and matching questions....

Space scientists investigate the cosmic phenomena in order to search for answers to possible origins of the solar system. They consider the concepts of elements and  isotopes. Data is analyzed looking at tje abundance of elements...

A simple worksheet that allows junior chemists to chart the number of subatomic particles for various atoms in the form of a data table. It also requires them to write nuclear symbols for different atoms and isotopes. This would be a...

A video and laboratory investigation are highlights to this lesson on acidification of ocean water due to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide. Using bromothymol blue (BTB) as an indicator, pupils analyze the amount of carbon dioxide...

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.

Young scholars perform a series of experiments on gas laws. In this chemistry lesson, students analyze the relationship between temperature, volume and pressure. They create a poster summarizing all the gas laws.

High schoolers explore a variety of relevant lake water chemistry questions, compose responses, and present their results in a poster format. They, in pairs, answer questions about lake chemistry which are imbedded in this plan.

Young scholars 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.

Tenth graders observe various chemical reactions in the lab. For this chemistry instructional activity, 10th graders list the indications that a chemical reaction took place. They give real life examples of reactions they see everyday.

Students research information using various internet resources. In this chemistry lesson, students demonstrate their ability to navigate websites and gather necessary information. They evaluate the potential usefulness of the databases...

Students research about the chemical processes involved in cave formation. In this chemistry instructional activity, students draw or find a cave picture with stalagmites and stalactites online. They write a brief caption and share them...

Students explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an element they chose.

Young scholars investigate different factors that affect plant growth. They research the effects of water supply, radiant energy, air temperature, and soil temperature. Students also gather facts that influence plant nutrition that...

Students investigate the factors that compose the nitrogen cycle. The harmful effects of acid rain and ozone depletion are also discussed in the lesson. Students define the nutrient that is often limiting to plant growth through...

Young scholars participate in an experiment in which the substances are sealed in a plastic bag. Watching the experiment, they determine why the chemical reaction is taking place and calculate the temperature change. To end the lesson,...

In this chemistry practice learning exercise, students solve sixteen problems including identifying chemical and physical changes, calculating numbers with significant figures, naming compounds and writing formulas and converting from...

General chemistry class members engage in a mini-unit on mole conversions. Through nine lab activites with varying degrees of difficulty, they practice measuring mass and volume, molar calculations, and stoichiometry. Terrific...

This lab activity is geared toward experienced chemistry learners, in particular, those who are familiar with organic chemistry. They will create a synthetic elastomer  and then make observations and measurements of its different...

First, young chemists practice polymer identification by density and flame tests. With the data collected, they propose a method of separating polyethylene from other plastics and determine what property makes it desirable for recycling....

Experienced chemistry technicians use then layer chromatography to discover how much of a free compound is left after each rinse cycle. Where this could obviously be used as a practice with chromatography technique, it can also be used...

General chemistry classes practice spectroscopy. They grasp the relationships between wavelength, absorbance, and solution concentration. Additionally, they gain valuable practice using laboratory equipment such as burets and pipettes....
