Physical science starters play with a pendulum in order to experience periodicity. Detailed procedures and a worksheet are included for day one. For day two, learners will use a graphing calculator to help them plot orbit data from a...

Although the article that launches this instructional activity is about the history of the Periodic Table, the objective is reading comprehension. Using the eight-page informational text, learners answer five comprehension questions and...

Time to put the knowledge to the test! Young scholars take what they know about the periodic table and build their own from scratch. Using clues from 26 different elements, they place elements in a blank periodic table. The clues include...

Ninth graders examine the Periodic Table. In this element lesson, 9th graders observe the chemical reactivity of elements. They graph the properties and discuss the trend in the group and period of elements. The students use math to...

If you use this as an outline for your chemistry lecture on metals, your young chemists will absorb a well-rounded overview. This is not a worksheet per se, but a useful summary of the behavior of metals. Save yourself some planning and...

In this periodic functions worksheet, students use given data of the speed of a star and find the best fit periodic function that follows the trend in data. They determine the amplitude, offset phase and the formula for the angle. They...

Eleventh graders study the use of the periodic table to develop a better understanding of the chemical elements.

If you are willing to sort through this outline and overlook the portions relating to inaccessible videos, you will find a wealth of support for your introductory chemistry unit. Narrative is presented to help you help learners navigate...

Students investigate the Periodic Table of Elements. The teacher is provided with the necessary background information to complete the instructional activity. Students practice matching the element symbol to its place on the chart.

Students listen to a song that teaches the elements of the periodic table and write their own song to be used as an aid in remembering scientific information.

Students gain a perspective in the development of chemistry. They understand some of the topics in their text and the ongoing nature of research. They then will be able to see the trends of the periodic table first hand through their own...

Young scholars explore the periodic table. In this Chemistry lesson plan, students will review how Mendeleyev predicted the missing elements in the periodic table. The young scholars will then be assigned one of the missing elements to...

Students identify in what groups and periods element is, state how many valance electrons element has, list basic properties of groups on periodic table, fill electrons in correct energy level/groups, and answer chapter questions.

Young scientists construct an understanding of molecular compounds in this hands-on science lesson. Using LEGO® to model the atoms of different elements, students build molecules based on the chemical formulas of common compounds.

Sixty multiple-choice questions test on a variety of first year chemistry subjects. In order to succeed, exam takers must be competent with properties of elements, stoichiometry problems, gas laws, bond dissociation, and types of...

For this resources worksheet, students compare and contrast physical and chemical properties and changes. Students review the periodic table, pattern of atomic numbers and chemical reactivity. This worksheet has 56 short answer questions.

Students identify the elements that belong to the halogen family on the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students describe the common characteristics of elements in this group. They research about hydrochloric acid's effect on...

Students discuss how to protect oneself from the sun.  In this sun safety lesson plan, students explore the movement of the sun throughout the day by tracing their shadows periodically using outdoor chalk.  Students discuss how...

Students participate in a mock oil search game and attempt to find "oil" in a model oil field. They drill initially based on random guessing, but each time they drill they use prior knowledge to determine where to drill next. They must...

Students analyze data received from high-energy satellites of various binary star systems' orbital periods or stellar rotation periods.

In 2006, New Horizons began its mission to fly to Pluto. As it continues its journey, scholars track its progress with the help of an informative website, all the while reinforcing measurement concepts with the construction of a scaled...

Students study the use of X-ray data to make size and energy estimates of the source and the processes occurring there. They use XTE observations of the object GRO 1744-28 to determine whether bursts occur periodically and the duration...

Ninth graders review and discuss the Periodic table and its 53 elements. They choose one element to become an expert on and then create a written Report in the form of a poster about their choosen element to be presented to the class.

Students study environmental stewardship. In this environmental stewardship lesson, students read the story The Gardner and define the character's actions for the environment. Students define philanthropy and complete a Venn Diagram...
