1 – 9 of 9 Classroom Resources
-
Electron Configuration, Electrons, Orbitals | High School
Activity: Electrons and Orbitals
In this lesson, students will differentiate between energy levels, sublevels, orbitals, and electrons. Students often confuse these terms related to electrons and this activity should help them develop a stronger understanding of how to distinguish between them.
-
Precipitate, Electron Configuration, Valence Electrons, Balancing Equations, Classification of Reactions, Solubility Rules, Electrons | High School
Lesson Plan: Transition Metals Color the World
In this lesson students will complete a series of double replacement reactions to form precipitates. The precipitates will be used as a pigment to create paint.
-
Periodic Table, Electron Configuration, Valence Electrons, Electrons | High School
Lesson Plan: Electron Configuration and the Periodic Table
In this lesson, students will learn how the periodic table can be used to predict the electron configuration of an atom and, thus, better predict the reactivity of an atom.
-
Periodic Table, Model of the Atom, Quantum Numbers, Electron Configuration, Subatomic Particles, Electrons | High School
Animation: Orbitals Animation
In this animation, students will visualize how orbitals are superimposed upon one another within an atom, in three dimensions. The orbitals depicted in this animation are 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, and 3d. **This video has no audio**
-
Electron Configuration | High School
Activity: E-config Battleship
In this activity, students review electron configurations by using the periodic table like a Battleship board.
-
Quantum Numbers, Electron Configuration, Electrons, Orbitals | High School
Lesson Plan: Quantum Numbers
In this lesson plan, students complete a worksheet answering questions regarding quantum numbers.
-
Physical Properties, History, Periodic Table, Atoms, Model of the Atom, Isotopes, Electron Configuration, Valence Electrons, Atomic Mass, Subatomic Particles, Atomic Radius, Chemical Properties, Electrons, Orbitals | High School, Middle School
Activity: Ptable.com Investigations
In this activity, students will use the online periodic table found at www.ptable.com to investigate a number of chemistry concepts. Students will use this online resource to explore information about the elements, including historical data, physical properties, periodic trends and more.
-
Periodic Table, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding, Electron Configuration, Atomic Radius, Electrons, Orbitals | High School
Activity: Planet P-10
In this activity, students will create a periodic table using orbital rules from a planet called P-10 and identify periodic trends and bonding rules.
-
Physical Properties, Interdisciplinary, History, Periodic Table, Review, Culminating Project, Isotopes, Electron Configuration, Atomic Mass, Subatomic Particles, Chemical Properties | High School, Middle School
Project: 21st Century Elements
In this project, students will learn the importance of the elements in our lives. The students will research one chosen element and create a website, a digital comic strip, or a video to explain the important properties of the element as well as why the element is so important to our lives.
