Classroom Resources: Chemistry Basics

251 – 258 of 258 Classroom Resources

• 

  Measurements, SI Units, Accuracy, Introduction | High School

  Activity: Mysteriously Melodramatic & Maniacal Metric Measurements

  In this activity, students predict the measurements of objects using metric units. They then take the actual measurements and compare them to their predictions.

• 

  Periodic Table, Physical Properties, Identifying an Unknown, Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius, Electronegativity | High School

  Activity: Mendeleev's Periodic Table

  In this activity, students will use their knowledge of Periodic Trends to analyze and identify unknown elements and organize them correctly in the Periodic Table.

• 

  Periodic Table, Identifying an Unknown | High School

  Activity: Mendeleev's Cards

  In this activity, students learn about periodic trends by organizing cards and then determining the information on a missing card.

• 

  Periodic Table, Introduction, Elements, Identifying an Unknown | High School

  Activity: Make a Periodic Table

  In this activity students use imaginary elements to create a periodic table based on the known properties of those elements.

• 

  Physical Change, Mixtures, Observations | High School, Middle School

  Activity: Magic Bubble

  In this lesson, students will create and interpret particle diagrams that represent elements and compounds at the molecular level. They will also describe the process of dissolving and create particle diagrams that represent mixtures at the molecular level.

• 

  Culminating Project, Review, Physical Properties, Chemical Properties, Periodic Table, History, Interdisciplinary, Electron Configuration, Subatomic Particles, Isotopes, Atomic Mass | 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.

• 

  Density, Molecular Motion | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Simulation Activity: Density Simulation

  In this simulation, students will investigate the effect of changing variables on both the volume and the density of a solid, a liquid and a gas sample. Students will analyze the different states of matter at the particle level as well as quantitatively. This lesson accompanies the simulation from the September 2015 issue of Chemistry Solutions.

• 

  Balancing Equations, Conservation of Mass, Conservation of Matter, Conservation of Matter, Chemical Change, Chemical Change, Conservation of Mass, Polyatomic Ions, Precipitate | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Simulation Activity: Balancing Chemical Equations

  In this activity, students will learn how to count atoms and how to balance chemical equations using a simulation and games from PhET Interactive Simulations.
