  Activity: Can You Color A Mole? Mark as Favorite (94 Favorites)

  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.

• 

  Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Formula, Naming Compounds, Stoichiometry, Limiting Reactant, Classification of Reactions | High School

  Activity: Isn't it Ionic Mark as Favorite (58 Favorites)

  In this activity students will form ionic compounds and covalent compounds using clues and questions. Students are going to then develop their own stoichiometric problems and have other groups attempt to solve it.

  Activity: James Bonded Mark as Favorite (18 Favorites)

  In this activity, students create a video of collisions that represent chemical reactions.

• 

  Covalent Bonding, Naming Compounds, Molecular Formula, Lewis Structures | High School

  Activity: Molecular Compound Dice Mark as Favorite (96 Favorites)

  In this activity students will use dice and element cards to name molecular compounds and draw their Lewis dot structures.

• 

  Polymers, Polymers, Molecular Structure, Physical Properties | High School

  Activity: Molecular Spaghetti Mark as Favorite (10 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will discover how the entanglement in cooked spaghetti depends on the length of the spaghetti strands and relate this discovery to polymeric materials.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Atomic Mass, Molar Mass | High School

  Activity: Molecule Building Tournament Mark as Favorite (13 Favorites)

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

• 

  Molecular Formula, History, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Structure, Physical Properties, Chemical Properties | High School

  Activity: Molecule of the Week Mark as Favorite (41 Favorites)

  In this activity, students research and present a molecule they find relevant to real life, either in the past or present. They must submit notes to the teacher the day before they present their findings in five to 10 minutes to their chemistry class.

• 

  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 (76 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 (27 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.

•
