26 – 30 of 30 Classroom Resources

• 

  Ionic Bonding, Naming Compounds, Molecular Formula, Ions, Ionic Radius, Solubility, Melting Point, Physical Properties | High School

  Activity: My Name is Bond, Ionic Bond Mark as Favorite (84 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will demonstrate their knowledge of ionic bond strength using a “brackets” activity. Pairs of students start the activity playing a game of “Ionic Compound War” to build eight compounds. Then then transfer the compounds to a “bracket” and use their knowledge of ionic bonding, along with a solubility chart, to predict the strongest and weakest bond between four pairs of ionic substances.

• 

  Molecular Formula, History, Functional Groups, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Structure | High School

  Activity: Napoleon's Buttons Writing Assignment Mark as Favorite (28 Favorites)

  In this activity, students read Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson’s book Napoleon’s Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History. They discuss the book in class and complete a written assignment based on the chemistry and history highlighted in the book.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Periodic Table, Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding | High School

  Activity: Bondy (Rummy) Mark as Favorite (36 Favorites)

  In this activity, students play a game in which they use element cards to form compounds.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Stoichiometry, Law of Definite Proportions, Dimensional Analysis, Mole Concept, Classification of Reactions | High School

  Lab: Finding the Formula of Magnesium Oxide Mark as Favorite (26 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will recognize that oxygen has mass and that heating can involve and increase in mass as an element reacts to become an oxide

•
