  Explore emergency lesson plans from ChemMatters magazine.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Mole Concept, Dimensional Analysis, Measurements, Scientific Notation, Molar Mass, Significant Figures | 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, Covalent Bonding, Ionic 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, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Structure, Functional Groups | 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, Molar Mass, Atomic Mass | High School

  Activity: Molecule Building Tournament

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

• 

  Naming Compounds, Molecular Formula, Precipitate, Ionic Bonding, Ions | 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.

• 

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