In this mind-boggling activity, students condense the history of the cosmos into one calendar year. Current day would be December 31, midnight, and students calculate the number of "days ago" each event occurred - starting with the Big Bang at January 1. This activity includes a student handout with a calendar to label, and list of events and how long ago it occurred, instructions and ratios for solving the number of days for each event, and follow-up questions for students to reflect on the ac
Students practice identifying elements, coefficients, subscripts, and atoms through sets of 5 practice problems. Then, they put it all together to complete the tables for the last 5 questions. Great for practicing counting atoms in small chunks, and it's easy to identify which specific skills are more difficult for students.
This presentation walks students step-by-step through the procedures and analysis for a Cheek and Onion cell lab. Students compare plant and animal cells by observing cells from an onion as well as cells from their own cheek.
Introduce students to chemical formulas through this inquiry activity. Students can work with a partner, group, or individually, to guess the chemical formula for each molecule shown. Works great as an intro to chemical formulas and counting atoms, but can also serve as a higher-level practice for writing chemical formulas.
Body Systems Notes Set includes a PowerPoint presentation and student notes copies (filled example included). Updated material aligns with the new 2024 science TEKS for Human Body Systems.
The C.U.B.A. method helps students identify all the parts of a Chemical Formula; subscripts, Elements, Coefficients, and the "Invisible 1s". This handout includes a reference page with an example, and a 5 question practice with a key.
Review Chemistry Topics with Twenty Questions Reviews! Includes Atoms & Atomic Structure, Periodic Table, Chemical Formulas, Chemical Equations, and Density.
