Academic Elements

As a high school teacher I typically receive many invitations to graduation parties. I have struggled with what to give but not spend a lot of money. I decided to create a bookmark that I can print and laminate and include with a graduation card. This could also be used as an end-of-year memento to any student!What's Included:pdf that includes 4 bookmarks - just print on cardstock, write a note on the back, and laminate!Terms of Use:This resource is intended for single-classroom use only.

Students love Bunsen burners and love doing the flame test! This is a great way to show them the effect of electrons jumping to higher energy orbitals! I have the students test 7 known metal salts and then choose 2 unknowns which they will identify based on their known tests. Materials & Chemicals Used:Bunsen burnerwood splintsvarious metal salts - I use all chlorides (Na, Li, Ba, Cu (II), Sr, K, Ca) but you can use whatever you have availableI have all salts as unknowns except Cu (II) as they

Students will go to 6 different stations to review what they have learned about atomic theory and atomic structure Station 1: they will identify on a picture of an atom the part of an atom that the weak force, strong force, and electromagnetic force affectStation 2: they will review isotope notation about how to calculate protons, neutrons, and electrons, what their masses and charges are, and who discovered each particleStation 3: they will calculate the average atomic mass of a fictitious ele

This lab activity is designed to introduce students to the difference between physical and chemical changes by complete four different experiments. They begin by writing down physical properties of the reactants/chemicals used. They then complete the steps for each experiment and write down observations and changes that took place. They will then evaluate whether a physical or a chemical change took place and use evidence to explain their choice. They will also answer some guided questions r

This is a great review lab activity for kids to practice using data to identify unknowns as acids, bases, or salts. Students identify 12 unknowns using red and blue litmus paper and phenolphthalein and then predict the pH for 3 of them. They end the activity with writing neutralization equations. To make it easy, I used water to represent each of the salts, weak HCl to represent each of the acids, and weak NaOH to represent each of the bases.

This is a great way to introduce the law of conservation of mass and allows the kids to get in the lab and witness it for themselves! The lab is written to use sodium hydroxide and either zinc nitrate or cobalt (II) nitrate but you could modify based on what chemicals you have available. After completing the lab, students will be asked guided questions drawing on prior knowledge they have learned (evidence of a chemical reaction, types of chemical reactions, naming and writing chemical formulas)

Students will practice naming both ionic (binary, multivalent metals, and polyatomic ions are included) and covalent compounds from chemical formulas. This worksheet is tiered; it begins with 6 ionic compounds, followed by 4 covalent compounds, and then a mixture of 24. It ends with the students writing a chemical equation.
