  Lesson Plan: Plant Chemistry

  In this lesson, students will explore a simple, but key, biochemical reaction: photosynthesis.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Functional Groups, Molecular Structure, Saturated vs. Unsaturated, Molecular Structure , Oxidation | High School

  Lesson Plan: Chocolate: The New Health Food

  Explore emergency lesson plans from ChemMatters magazine.

• 

  Mole Concept, Significant Figures, Dimensional Analysis, Measurements, Scientific Notation, Molar Mass, Molecular Formula | High School

  Activity: Can You Color A Mole?

  In this activity, students determine how many moles of paraffin are used when they color a piece of paper as well as how many molecules and moles of wax are in one crayon.

• 

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

  Activity: Bondy (Rummy)

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

• 

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

  Activity: Napoleon's Buttons Writing Assignment

  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, Atomic Mass, Molar Mass | High School

  Activity: Molecule Building Tournament

  In this activity, students determine molecular formulas given formula masses and a limited number of atoms.

• 

  Ionic Bonding, Naming Compounds, Precipitate, Ions, Molecular Formula | Middle School

  Activity: Bond with a Classmate

  In this activity, students are assigned an ion and form bonds with their classmates, recording the formula and name of the compound they created.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Geometry, Naming Compounds, Lewis Structures, Periodic Table, Valence Electrons, Lewis Dot Diagrams, Ions, Subatomic Particles | High School, Middle School

  Simulation: Ionic & Covalent Bonding

  In the September 2016 simulation, students investigate both ionic and covalent bonding. Students will have the opportunity to interact with many possible combinations of atoms and will be tasked with determining the type of bond and the number of atom needed to form each. Students will become familiar with the molecular formula, as well as the naming system for each type of bond and geometric shape, when applicable.
