Engaging Elements

Hands-on experiments are great for teaching students, but what if you just can't do them in real life? Virtual labs and simulations to the rescue! This virtual lab allows students to test the physical property of density using a simulation found on the PhET website.

Hands-on experiments are great for teaching students, but what if you just can't do them in real life? Virtual labs and simulations to the rescue! This virtual lab demonstrates the relationship between kinetic and potential energy using a simulation found at The Physics Aviary. Supports GSE.S8P2b

Twenty color-coded characteristics and examples of solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas are provided for students to sort. The focus of this activity is molecular arrangement and movement.

With this notes packet, students will be able to learn about how to read the periodic table to help determine the number of subatomic particles. After delivering the fill in the blank notes, students can practice collectively or independently. An answer key is provided.
