This highly organized PowerPoint reviews the simple procedure behind finding the formula mass of a compound. Practice questions are included. Later in the lesson, knowledge of formula mass is applied to the finding of percent composition by mass of elements or ions in a compound.

Most of my chemistry lessons are 8 slide PowerPoints. I print the PowerPoints each day (4 slides per page... front and back = 1 sheet of paper per student). The students then fill out the answers to my guided and scaffolded questions as I fill them out on the SmartBoard. My teaching style is highly interactive, and my lessons support that style.

All lessons include a Do Now, Mini Lesson, Pair Up, and Summary to keep students moving and engaged.

To remove the "Wickline" watermark, select the Watermark from the Insert menu, then select No Watermark. You cannot remove the watermark's from .pdf files and SmartBoard files, so you'll have to make new ones from your fresh watermark-less Microsoft file.
