In this project, my students will spend three class periods researching the various topics that I will cover during our 7 day unit. The presentation they will submit has 17 google slides that are rich with the TEKS covered and visual representations of the various topics. This slide presentation I use was modified from a source I found online to meet my purposes. If this was helpful then leave me some feedback. Good luck and happy teaching.

I love to begin my chemistry units having my students research all the important topics for the unit before we begin the lessons, labs, and practice problems. I also love to sneak in a problem or two in the research just to get them seeing the "fun" to come. The students enjoy using the technology and I feel like I am working smarter and not harder. I don't typically have them do presentations because 3 days is a lot of class time already (acids and bases is just a 10 day unit for us). This

This google slide research project I do with my 9th graders in IPC. It covers 100% of the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) in the Wave Unit. There are a total of 20 slides that the students will create, and the project tells them exactly what to put on each slide. All of the information is easily found on the internet. Many of the slides require them to find images that reinforce the ideas on the slide. The total time needed to complete the assignment is about 2.5 hours on aver

In this bundle I have: #1 Stoichiometry Test Review that contains mole to mole ratios, mole to mole conversions, molar mass calculations, mole to mass, mass to mole, mass to mass, limiting reagent and percent yield. #2 Stoichiometry Quiz. Designed for 10-15 minutes #3 Mole to Mole practice Worksheet #4 A page with many links to a ton of websites with good stoichiometry teaching resources. #5 An activity that teaches stoichiometry as a recipe using hamburgers as an example (I modified this from

This is a good introductory activity for physical and chemical changes. The student will go to several websites and find information relating to physical and chemical changes. There are two websites where they go and take interactive quizzes. Finally, they will complete a chart showing their new found knowledge about physical and chemical changes. This activity takes 2 class periods, but can easily be adapted to 1 class period. I use this in my IPC class, but it would work for a chemistry c

Here is a webquest activity I compiled from several websites. I have tinyurls created for easy access to the websites. I also share this assignment with my students through google classroom so they can easily just click the links to access the websites. This is a 2 day minimum activity. I no longer do the vocabulary page so we can finish in two days. Leave me some feedback and certainly let me know if one of the links becomes inactive so I can find an alternative.

In this science version of bingo, students are given two clues to find the symbol on the periodic table and then to mark it on their bingo game cards. A variety of clue types are on each of the teacher's card sets. The clues include giving them the group and the period of the symbol, giving them the number of valence electrons and energy levels, just giving them the atomic number, or if you have taught it, giving them the ending of the element's electron configuration. The game is highly a

This is an awesome and fun lab. It is a great introduction to pH, indicators, and basic properties of acids and bases. You do need a red cabbage to do this lab; however, since I am giving you a RTF file you can copy the file and modify it to not have the cabbage juice as part of the lab. It really is an easy process to use the cabbage juice and I highly recommend it. A quick google search will provide you with the simple steps of making the indicator. Best of luck and keep making Chemistry

Hello fellow teachers. I use this project to introduce the solution unit. It is a great way to quickly expose my students to all of the relevant learning objectives in the solution unit. Topics covered are based on the TEKS here in Texas and include solution, solvent, solute, unsaturated, saturated, supersaturated, solubility charts, solubility rates, solubility rules, molarity, water's structure, water's angle, polarity, factors affecting solubility and hydrogen bonding. It has a bit of pra

This is my end of year activity for IPC and covers 100% of the TEKS for this final unit. In this google slide project the student will make 16-20 slides on various major energy sources. They research renewable, sustainable, and nonrenewable energy sources. At the end of the slides they will choose one of the renewable sources and provide the following: Cost associated with your energy sourceInfrastructure needed for your energy sourceAbundance of your energy sourceLocation of your energy sou

This webquest visits several pages on the physicclassroom website. The topics covered are: types of waves, parts of wave, wave interactions (constructive and destructive) and wave boundary interactions (reflection, refraction, and diffraction). The assignment should take about 45 mins.

This worksheet is a fill in the blank assignment I created from the video titled: Limits of Light by The Secrets of Nature. They have it posted on their youtube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnGTCaiZqOE I use this in my IPC to introduce the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a great video and the worksheet just helps me keep them engaged.

This worksheet is to be used with the online website at the Physics Classroom. The questions are over scalar, vector, distance, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration. All the information needed to answer the questions can be found on the website. A calculator is needed for a few questions. It is a good introduction-level assignment. It should take around 45 minutes to 1 hour. If you like this activity give me some positive feedback. If you have any suggestions or see any mistakes

This bundle is for a 13 day unit on Chemical Bonding. The topics covered include: 1. Ionic Bonds 2. Covalent Bonds 3. Lewis Dot Structures 4. Electron Configuration 5. VSEPR The purpose of this bundle is to give you a good framework upon which you can build your unit. I will share with you all the resources I will be using to teach my unit along with any worksheets, webquests, or lab activities I will be using. I spent a lot of time planning for this unit and thought I would offer it to tho

This is a simple lab involving 3 chemical reactions of common chemicals found in most high school chemistry inventories: Materials1M Solutions of NaOH, CuSO4, NH4OH, Zn(NO3)2Four 3oz. plastic cups and Three 5 oz. plastic cups (or any size will do)Measuring Scale and Graduated cylinder The students will complete production predictions of these double displacement reactions, record data and make observations, identify the precipitate (insoluble product), and balance the equations involved. I thre

This review includes all the topics taught in 1st year chemistry. The review is very conceptual. I plan to supplement my review with some hands-on activities, practice problems in stoichiometry, gas laws, and thermochemistry. I hope you can use this as a resource for your final exam.

The student will choose their favorite sport and make a google slide presentation that shows how explain Newton's Law of Motion using activities from their chosen sport. They will include pictures and descriptions. This is a 1.5 to 2 hour project. I use this with my IPC class.

This lab is a simple titration of a strong acid (0.1M HCl) with a strong base (0.1M NaOH). The instructions are simple and concise. I have included the data table and a follow up activity for extension (for Pre-AP etc.). Many concepts of acid and bases can easily be reinforced from the data that you collect from this lab. It could easily be adapted to use for AP Chemistry. You could use pipettes to do the titration if you do not have burettes. I hope you find this lab simple and useful.

In this lab the student will measure the bounce height of two different type of balls from 3 different heights. The will repeat each height 3 times to show the importance multiple trials in science. The data collected will be used to calculate potential energy. There are several questions at the end of the lab that reinforces energy lost to various other forms of energy. This is a one class period activity. I use this lab in my IPC class, but it could easily be adapted to a Physic class using

This is my review for chemical equations and reaction types.
