Students identify the different elements that belong to the Noble Gas family. In this chemistry lesson plan, students design a neon sign. They research how they are made and share their work with the class.

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...

Students explore the unique properties of alkali metals. In this chemistry lesson, students create a mural of fireworks display after researching its different element components. They write a brief description about an alkali metal used...

Students investigate temperature and chemical reactions. They explore the effect of temperature and particle size has on the rate of a simple chemical reaction. In addition, they graph their results and answer assessment questions.

Students investigate the properites of a semiconductor device known as a diode. They recognize a diode as a one way conducting device. They describe alternating current and the use of a diode to convert it to direct current. Students...

Students apply the principles of chemistry to investigate the concept of how a hydrogen powered car works. They study the electrochemical reactions that provide the energy source. Students also record observations in the functioning of a...

In this transition metals activity, students fill in a table given a metal compound with the charges of the anion and cation. They then determine the name of the compounds.

In this balancing equations worksheet, students determine the type of reaction and write the balanced equation. Students read the word description and write the symbol of each element using the periodic table.

Young scholars discuss metalloids, their use as semiconductors, and their impact on the computer industry. They work in groups to create a visual timeline showing the evolution of the computer.

Students explain the mole concept and use this concept to prepare chemical solutions of particular molarities.

In this AP Chemistry worksheet, students apply concepts of electron configuration to accurately answer the questions provided. Students also draw Lewis structures of the given elements. Students estimate the enthalpy of formation as well...

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

Students explore how to access a gopher site using a root menu. Several options are presented with their definitions and the fastest routes examined in this lesson. The lesson is designed for librarians with little or no net experience.

Eighth graders interpret the chemical symbols and shorthand used for molecules and equations. Through guided practice, 8th graders work to decipher and interpret the symbols for chemical equations. An opportunity for independent...

In this tutorial, students will investigate the arrangement of the Periodic Table by watching videos, completing interactive activities, and quizzes.

Describe The Periodic Table of Elements, identify the elements that make a firework work and examine the contribution of each element to the total fireworks effect.

Different properties of the elements of the periodic table will be plotted and from this, a system of organization for the elements will be developed.

An interactive periodic table. When you hover over an element, its name, atomic number, group, period, and electron affinity value appear.

This lesson explores the various uses of elements in the periodic table. Students will be assigned an element to research. They will then present its uses and atomic information to the class.

A history and description of the modern periodic table, including its early origins, many contributors and later additions.

Explore the concept of electronegativity and how it trends across the periodic table of elements. The author uses simple, humorous drawings to help with understanding.

A site containing a good deal of elemental information. Information on each element includes atomic number, atomic mass, melting point, boiling point, density, isotopes and more.
