The Poisoner's Handbook By Deborah Blum: A 10 Day Literature Unit
This is a 10 day unit designed around Deborah Blum's book, The Poisoner's Handbook. It incorporates cooperative learning strategies, such as jigsawing and gallery walks, and reading comprehension and vocabulary strategies, such as word detective, read and say something, and picture mapping. A student choice board, or think-tac-toe board, is provided for further research/extensions in other subject area connections. Rubrics, links, handouts, discussion questions, content frame, and journal prompt

Chemistry Naming Practice Sectioned
This practice contains binary ionic (with and without variable charges), ternary ionic (with and without variable charges), inorganic acids, and binary covalent compounds all sectioned out. I use this practice as I teach each type of naming system and sometimes as a review. It can be a great tool after a formative assessment for students to practice just the type of system they need more help with. Included is the PDF of the worksheet and the Microsoft PowerPoint version (if you want to make an

Atomic Theory: Who Am I? Gallery Review
This activity has 40 cards to be printed and laminated (recommended) for student review on 1) identification of elements using atomic numbers, 2) constructing nuclear symbols, 3) writing isotope notation, and 4) calculation of ionic charge and mass numbers for a variety of elements. Student answer sheet and answer key is included. Two blank cards are included at the end. Works great as a gallery walk- students will need a copy of the periodic table and clipboard or notebook to write on. Ideas

Percent Comp, Empirical & Molecular Formulas, & EF of Hydrate Practice
This is a revised and updated product listing for the previous worksheet that just covered %Comp, EF, and MF. I use this primarily in my honors chemistry class when practicing percent composition, empirical and molecular formulas, as well as EF of hydrates with percent hydration. I did include an answer sheet with the answers only. I will update listing to include the work as a separate handout (in case you want the kids to have answers only or have work to help them).

Stoichiometry PowerPoint & Practice
This resource includes my Stoichiometry PowerPoint and the In-Class Practice packet of problems to go along with the PPT. The PPT includes slides with a couple of each type of problem. Then, the practice packet has a couple for the students to do on their own. The In-Class Practice packet is the one I use with my Honors class. I will be creating a similar resource with the practice packet I use with my On-Level chemistry students. Answer key with problems done out is included.

Stoichiometry In-Class Practice Packet
I use this to provide examples as I teach the unit on Stoichiometry. It covers 1 step mole ratio problems, adding in a step each page until they get to mass-mass conversions. It includes limiting reactants, theoretical yield and percent yield problems. This is my HONORS version- It allows them to review predicting products and balancing equations for the last few of each type of conversion. If you would like the regular version (where they just have to balance- please see that listing- or wri

CSI Moles- Empirical Formula Murder Scenario Updated!
UPDATED!! And revised!! I use this as my Honors students practice empirical formulas. I have adapted it to be a little more fun for the students. It provides 7 different scenarios, so if you have groups, they can each get a different murder substance and murder suspect. The students are directed to determine what white substance can be linked to different suspects. Then, each different scenario has a different substance found in the victim's blood and on the body. The students have to determine

Empirical Formula Lab Scenarios
This activity includes 4 lab scenarios for empirical formulas, as well as, 4 lab scenarios for hydrated compounds. While I tried to make the math come out straight forward, I did not use common compound ratios, especially for the hydrates (in hopes to eliminate googling of answers). I numbered the problems separately so they can be used separately, but did include the word document for easy editing. An answer key is also included for all 8 problems. Save paper and only print pages 2-5 for the k

This handout has 3 examples of each type of problem for stoichiometry- from using mole ratios to determining the limiting reactant. Answer key, with work shown, is provided. Learning targets are listed for the students to use as a self-check, as well as a vocabulary list. Learning Targets: I can determine the mole ratio from a balanced chemical equation. I can use the mole ratio to explain simple mole to mole conversions. I can formulate a plan to convert between mass of one substance and mas
