1 – 5 of 5 Classroom Resources

• 

  Solubility, Solute & Solvent, Mixtures, Intermolecular Forces, Intermolecular Forces, Polarity, Molecular Geometry | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Animation: Solubility Animation Mark as Favorite (83 Favorites)

  This animation explores how ionic and molecular compounds dissolve (or don’t) in water. Students will see that if an ionic compound such as salt dissolves, the ions dissociate, whereas the molecules in a molecular compound such as sugar remain intact but are separated from one another by water molecules. They will also see that some ionic compounds such as chalk do not dissolve, and the cations and anions remain stuck together. **This video has no audio**

  Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding, Polarity, Molecular Formula | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Animation: Bonding Animation Mark as Favorite (122 Favorites)

  This animation explores how different chemical bonds form. Examples of ionic, covalent, and polar covalent bonds are animated, and then students are given a sample of compounds to predict the bonding types. **This video has no audio**

  Polymers, Physical Properties, Introduction, Observations | Elementary School

  Activity: Bouncy Ball Mark as Favorite (4 Favorites)

  In this activity, students explore the chemical reaction between borax and glue, creating a polymer ball. The properties of the polymer ball will be analyzed and compared to a store bought bouncy ball.

• 

  Molecular Structure, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Formula, Review, Atoms | Elementary School, Middle School

  Activity: Atom Catcher Game Mark as Favorite (12 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will make several different molecules out of four types of atoms: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in an online game. In order to be successful, the student must move a beaker on the screen to catch the correct type and number of atoms needed to form a particular molecule. Students can score points by making as many correct molecules as possible in a given amount of time.

• 

  Subatomic Particles, Model of the Atom, Elements, Molecular Formula | Middle School, Elementary School

  Project: What's It Made Of? Mark as Favorite (15 Favorites)

  In this project each student will conduct research to discover what compounds, molecules, and elements make up a basic everyday object of their choice. The student will create a poster detailing what the object is made of, including a Bohr model. The student will also create a question about their object’s atomic structure for their peers as part of a culminating project gallery walk to observe, discuss, and learn about each poster.
