Classroom Resources: Chemistry Basics

26 – 34 of 34 Classroom Resources

• 

  Culminating Project, Interdisciplinary, History, Renewable Energy | High School

  Project: Understanding Renewable Energy

  In this project, students will conduct research in order to become an “expert” on a specific type of renewable energy source. Students will produce a media presentation and a poster board as well as participate in a symposium focused on renewable energy sources.

• 

  Atomic Radius, Ionic Radius, Electrons, Model of the Atom, Subatomic Particles, Periodic Table | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Animation: Atomic & Ionic Radii Animation

  This animation explores patterns in atomic and ionic radii. Students will look at the different sizes of atoms in the third period and the atoms in the sixth group to see trends across periods and down groups. They will also look at an atom and its corresponding cation as well as an atom and its corresponding anion. **This video has no audio**

• 

  Model of the Atom, Electrons, Electron Configuration, Quantum Numbers, Subatomic Particles, Periodic Table | High School

  Animation: Orbitals Animation

  This animation explores the shapes of the 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, and 3d orbitals and how they build up and overlap as each successive orbital is added. **This video has no audio**

• 

  Density, Matter, Physical Properties, Measurements | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Animation: Density Animation

  This animation explores density on the particulate level. There are opportunities to make qualitative and quantitative comparisons between substances. **This video has no audio**

• 

  Elements, Periodic Table, Interdisciplinary, History, Atoms, Model of the Atom | Middle School, High School

  Project: Element Baby Book

  In this activity, students will “adopt” an element and create a baby book about their “new baby” while they research and learn about the element.

• 

  Classification of Reactions, Culminating Project, Review, Interdisciplinary | High School

  Project: Classifying Reaction Types Mini Poster

  In this activity, students display their knowledge of the five main types of chemical reactions on a miniature sized poster.

• 

  Interdisciplinary, Culminating Project | High School

  Project: Chemistry and Art Exhibition

  In this project, students will use chemistry techniques to construct a piece of artwork.

• 

  Acid & Base Theories, Acid Base Reactions, Acid Rain, pH, History, Interdisciplinary | High School

  Project: Acid Base Creative Letter

  In this project, students will compare and contrast the properties of acids and bases and define pH.

• 

  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.
