About the store

I have over 20 years of teaching experience, as well as experience working as a research chemist. My teaching experience includes middle and high school science and math: • 7th grade Life Science • 8th grade Physical Science • 9th grade Physical Science • H.S. Biology • H.S. Chemistry • H.S. Earth Science • H.S. Physics • Dual-Enrollment Chemistry • Algebra 1 • Algebra 2 In a small school, variety is easy! I now serve as our dean of science and assist with science curriculum decisions for the upper grades. I also provide support and resources for the elementary grades science teachers.

Periodic Table Project

Created by

Teaching for Learning

This lapbook project reviews the structure and uses of the periodic table by having the student describe the regions and families, write electron configurations and orbital notations, and represent electron dot structures. Students also find uses of the different types of elements in the families. Each folder has a separate theme, so the organization of the table is emphasized. Requested information for the project can be easily modified to include additional information for more advanced cla

Practice with Parts of an Atom

Created by

Teaching for Learning

"Practice with Parts of an Atom" is an assignment for additional practice with atomic number, mass number, and how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in each isotope. Since being comfortable with determining atomic number, mass number, and electrons is so important throughout chemistry, this practice is a useful tool in assessing student progress.

Reviewing Ionic and Covalent Compound Names

Created by

Teaching for Learning

This is a practice that allows students to identify ionic and covalent compounds and then name each correctly. They will also practice naming acids, both binary and ternary, and writing formulas from names. This review is good for physical science and first year chemistry students. Having studied ionic and covalent compounds, this combines both and has them distinguish between them. An answer key is included.

Friction Lab

Created by

Teaching for Learning

This laboratory activity uses a multi-surface board (or several different types of surfaces) to measure the forces required to start an object moving and keep an object moving. The procedure guides them through calculations of the coefficients of static and kinetic friction, then has them repeat the process for doubled surface area. An additional procedure addresses the coefficient of static friction for an inclined surface. Review questions are included. This lab has been used at several

Interactive Notebook: Overview of Electrons in Atoms

Created by

Teaching for Learning

After studying the periodic table, electron configuration, and orbital notation, this is a good review of the information students will use. This page summarizes, allows the student to apply their skills, and is a good study tool for tests and exams. Teachers may edit this file to work in their classrooms.

Vector Project

Created by

Teaching for Learning

This resource is a set of five vector case studies that ask students to find resultants and equilibrants. Students solve for missing values graphically and algebraically, then verify using a force table. This is a good project to end a study of vectors in preparation for motion in two dimensions.

Naming Ionic and Covalent Compounds

Created by

Teaching for Learning

This powerpoint introduces and compares the naming of ionic and covalent compounds, including the naming of compounds containing transition metals and polyatomic ions and the naming of binary and ternary acids. Examples of each are included, with explanations of how it is named.

Comparing Phase Changes

Created by

Teaching for Learning

This worksheet allows students to compare the changes between physical states by energy, particle motion, and attractive forces. The detail of the content will depend on the level of the class, but the result is a very useful tool for reviews and test preparation. Additionally, this fits well into an interactive science notebook!

Phase Changes in Poetry

Created by

Teaching for Learning

This powerpoint presentation includes poems, such as Carl Sandburg's "Fog" and Emerson's "The Snow Storm", with illustrations of the weather referenced in the poem. This is a great way to review the phase changes! The students enjoy the literature - which they sometimes recognize from English class! - and describe the phase changes in chemical terms - attractive forces, energy change, beginning and ending state of matter - at the level of detail appropriate for the grade and course.

Flame Test Lab

Created by

Teaching for Learning

Includes background information, procedure for the flame test, and review questions including representative wavelengths associated with the elements. Students will also use a spectrometer to compare the colors seen in the flame with those seen using the instrument. The ions may be dissolved and the splints soaked in the different solutions to use for the tests, but I usually soak the splints in distilled water and put very small amounts of each ion in test tubes. I have found using the crysta

Experience

Teaching style

I encourage students to build upon previous knowledge and gain new knowledge. I incorporate many activities and labs to involve the students in the practical application of the material, and I am using an increasing number of foldables to review and reinforce key concepts. I have found that students learn very differently, but all can grasp even difficult concepts when given the opportunity. I enjoy finding a variety of ways to present these concepts and learning how to match them to the students I am teaching!
