Students discuss transition metals, where they are located on the periodic table, some of the element in the group, and some characteristics of the group. They work in groups to conduct an experiment in which they mix transition metals...

Students discuss transition metals, their properties, and where they are located on the periodic table as well as why transition metals are ideal for coins. After discussion, they conduct an experiment using copper in the form of old...

In this transition metal worksheet, high schoolers are given equations of transition metals and their ions. Each equation shows the changes in colors of the ions when heat, salt or other substances are added to the metals.

Learners illustrate the changes in the properties of a material at its glass transition point. They gather data which they use to construct graphs regarding elastic modules versus absorption modulus, tangent delta, and the effect of...

While this resource does not provide problems for chemistry learners to solve, it outlines skills that they should have and concepts that they should grasp. Topics include thermodynamics, periodicity, redox equilibria, transition metals,...

In this transition metal ions and redox activity, students read about the formation of metal ions through oxidation and reduction.

Use the classic density demonstration of placing a cola, a clear soda, and a diet soda into a tank of water. Then let learners attempt to pour some of the soda into layers in a clear container. The procedure explains a thermocline, and...

For this catalysts worksheet, high schoolers use transition metals ions to catalyze oxidation reactions of iodide ions. Students measure the rate of the reactions by measuring free iodine as a product.

In this transition metals learning exercise, 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 transition metals worksheet, students name thirty one metal compounds by determining the charges on the anion and cation and writing their chemical formulas.

Students identify geographical features of different regions encountered by migrants on the Oregon trail. Students research how the Oregon landscape may have affected life and 19th century westward migration. Students write a narrative...

Students explore the states of matter. They discuss the different phrases of matter and categorize everyday substances as solids, liquids, or gases. Students explore the relationship between the phases on an atomic level and the role of...

Here is a comprehensive and cohesive final exam for your high school physicists. A variety of question styles are incorporated, such as multiple-choice and problem-solving. Topics are too many to list, so you will want to review the exam...

As your class reaches the end of the book Bullfrog at Magnolia Circle, the seventh lesson in this literary unit helps third graders transition from reading narrative to expository writing. Scholars develop their note-taking skills...

In this moon worksheet, students determine the angular size of the moon and draw a scaled model of the Earth, moon, and sun and given distances and positions. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

Work on author's purpose with this lesson plan, which focuses on sequence of events and audience as well.  Middle and high schoolers describe the 50 State Quarters Program for background information. After discussing the images on...

A beautifully written lesson plan delves into a beautiful topic: stellar population. Engage aspiring astronomers with activities that examine human populations and then transition onto the stars of the universe. Data and photographs for...

Consider the effects of green transportation. In this environmental stewardship lesson, determine how transportation has changed throughout history and then collaborate to solve New York City transportation issues.

Students identify the properties of transition metals. In this chemistry lesson plan, students research facts and uses of one aluminum product they choose. They create an advertisement highlighting aluminum's useful properties.

A huge collection of slides introduces chemistry learners to the periodic table of elements, electron configuration, and electronegativity. It opens with the history of today's periodic table, and then details the arrangement. After...

Students experience, through a "dig," the historical discovery of fossils which increasingly link whales to earlier land-dwelling mammals. They encounter the intermediate forms which show changes that lead to the modern whale.

Students explore the transit of Venus and the information that this minieclipse provides about the distance between the Earth and the sun. They create their own astronomical units.

Pupils explore animal characteristics by participating in a paragraph writing activity. In this writing structure lesson, students identify the importance of a topic and transition when writing descriptive sentences about a subject....

In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a paragraph containing facts about the periodic table by filling in 18 terms from a word list.
