This 3-page worksheet can be copied and laminated to allow students the ability to explore how ions bond based on charge. For example, a calcium puzzle piece has two notches to represent +2 charge. A fluorine ion has one notch that can fit with calcium to represent a +1 charge. Two fluorine pieces will fit one calcium piece. This can be used to teach monatomic and polyatomic ionic bonding.

This assignment guides students through properties of the periodic table such as organization (groups, periods, group names, phases), history (Mendeleev, Moseley, and more), element discovery, videos on specific elements and their reactivities and unique properties, and periodic trends (electronegativity, atomic radius, ionization energy and more). The assignment is designed to help students explore on their own while providing an opportunity for accountability. Great for differentiating instruc

This simple grid prompts students to use the periodic table to identify atomic number, atomic mass, protons, neutrons, and electrons. They then will draw the correct Bohr Model of the first 16 elements and draw the corresponding Lewis Dot Diagram with appropriate number of valence electrons. A blank page is provided so you can customize the worksheet for larger elements. An example has also been completed along with tips for completing each section.

CHEMISTRY: Students will review Quantum Mechanics by learning Aufbau Principle, the Pauli Exclusion Principle, and Hund's Rule. Students will also practice writing electron configurations, noble gas notations, and orbital notations. A WebQuest worksheet is also attached to help students visualize the 3D orbitals.

Students will use two PhET Simulations to explore (1) how Thomson's Plum Pudding Model of the atom differs from Rutherford's Nuclear Model of the atom and (2) how Bohr Models are used to make predictions about atomic structure. Isotopes are also briefly explored. This can be used for distance learners and in-person traditional settings or hybrid-style classrooms. Can typically be completed within a 45-minute period but can be used in a 90-minute block with additional resources.

Students will use a linked website to walk them through how to draw Lewis Dot diagrams in covalently bonded molecules. This assignment is designed for students to complete on their own or in a computer lab with minimal instruction from the teacher. Lewis Dot diagrams can be very complex and there are a variety of exceptions, but not in the handout. Students typically find this assignment to be easy.

This worksheet is an excellent review of gas laws. It includes practice problems on the following topics: combined gas law (including Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law), the ideal gas law, gas stoichiometry, and conceptual gas scenarios). Includes problems at STP (standard temperature and pressure) and non-STP questions. The end of the worksheet also includes four standardized test questions related to gas laws. This is an excellent preview, overview, or review for a gas unit!

This bundle includes an introductory lesson (Bacon Double Cheeseburger), a lesson designed to practice stoichiometry problems (Stoichiometry Practice), and TWO application labs! This is everything you need to begin your stoich unit, practice, and stretch your students. BONUS Resource Includes: Editable Stoichiometry Assessment!

In this lab, students will carry out a single replacement reaction using aluminum and copper (II) sulfate to produce aluminum sulfate and pure copper metal. Through gravimetric analysis and stoichiometry, students will predict their theoretical yield, calculate their percentage yield, and identify typical errors. In summary, students use a hot plate to warm a solution of copper (II) sulfate and a known amount of aluminum foil. Once the reaction occurs, solid copper forms and the aluminum foil se

Use this fill-in-the-blank periodic table to help students learn the trends for writing electron configurations, noble gas notations, and orbital diagrams in terms of the Quantum Mechanical Model of the atom. Includes information on Hund's Rule, Aufbau Principle, and Pauli Exclusion Principle.

This lab addresses the following types of reactions: synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, combustion, and acid-base neutralization reactions. There are 9 reactions that students can perform through rotating stations or in lab groups, depending on your prep time. I suggest having students identify the type of reactions and predict the products as a pre-lab activity, and then students can perform the lab and answer the questions.

This worksheet provides students gas practice problems for which they will use the ideal law, combined law, and gas stoichiometry under STP and non-STP conditions. An excellent array of problems to assess student knowledge of gas behavior.

This 2-page worksheet can be used as a review or preview. Includes topics such as pH, indicator results, calculating pH/pOH, strong and weak acids/bases, properties of acids and bases, naming acids and bases, and writing formulas.

This worksheet is designed to help students organize their new knowledge of Gas Laws and other components of gas behaviors such as molar volume, STP (standard temperature and pressure), and rearranging variables mathematically.

Simple one-sheet handout that includes a list of strong acids, weak acids, strong bases, and weak bases. Also includes a list of acid-base formulas that are often used in Advanced Chemistry and AP Chemistry along with a description of when to use each formula.

This one-page worksheet allows the teacher to customize his/her own questions. Students are expected to identify whether a compound has ionic bonds (metal-nonmetal) or covalent bonds (nonmetal-nonmetal) based on the formulas. Students may also be challenged to write the IUPAC name of ionic and covalent compounds. An extension can be added to challenge students to identify bond types based on electronegativity differences or percent ionic character and continue with molecular geometries of these
