Integrating Chemistry-Chemical Reactions
In this chemical reactions worksheet, students read about different types of chemical reactions, potential and chemical energy. They answer three questions about their reading.
Chymist
Writing Chemical Equations
Communicate chemistry clearly with a concise guide to writing chemical equations. It covers everything from the parts of a chemical equation to the different types of reactions that budding chemists may encounter.
Mr. Jones's Science Class
Periodic Table Project
Don't be fooled by the title; this is not really a lesson on elements. It is a project on classification, using the periodic table as an example. For that reason, it could be used in any branch of science. As an example, a group may...
Curated OER
Science Detectives
Fifth graders examine the differences between chemical and physical changes. As a class, they are read a scenerio and determine whether it was deliberate act or not. In groups, they observe the changes of an alka-seltzer tablet and...

Teaching about the Effect of Photosynthesis and
Students demonstrate the effects of photosynthesis and respiration. They decide which variables to analyze in a microcosm study. They produce a written paper, oral presentation, poster, or multi-media presentation
Curated OER
Solution Shapes
In this solutions worksheet, students soak a pipe cleaner in hot water and a supersaturated solution of 20 Mule Team Borax. Kids leave their pipe cleaner in the solution for 30 minutes and then observe. They put it back in over night and...

Boyle's Law and Charles's Law
In this gas laws worksheet, students complete 11 fill in the blanks and problem solving questions on Boyle's and Charles's laws.
Curated OER
Matter and Change
In this matter and change activity, learners answer 24 questions on topics such as elements, compounds, mixtures and chemical reactions. Students answer questions about the properties of matter such as their physical state and shape. In...
Virginia Department of Education
Equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s Principle
The best part of learning about equilibrium is that nothing changes. Young chemists observe four demonstrations during this instructional activity: equilibrium in a saturated solution, equilibrium with an acid-base indicator, equilibrium...
Curated OER
Melting and Freezing of Water
Students differentiate the three states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students analyze graphs of heating and cooling curve of water. They complete a lab report and discuss results.
Utah LessonPlans
Stomach Chemistry
Students will create a simulation of the chemical reactions that occur during the digestive process. A physical change occurs when the appearance of matter changes, but the composition of the matter does not change.
Curated OER
Reaction Rates and Catalysis in Ethanol Production
Learners investigate alternative catalysts for the degradation of hydrogen peroxide. In this fermentation lesson students complete an activity that breaks down cellulose into sugar.
Curated OER
Breaking it Down
Students discover how water expands when frozen during a glacier. In this matter instructional activity, students fill a glass jar with water, leaving no room for air in the jar and place it in the freezer. Students retrieve the jar and...
Curated OER
Chemical Calculations and Chemical Formulas
In this stoichiometry worksheet, students calculate molar masses, empirical and molecular formulas to solve 105 problems and short answer questions.
Curated OER
Beads, Balls, and Beakers
Young scholars analyze the amount of space required to pack round objects. In this geometry instructional activity, students practice using space economically by practicing packing spheres into beakers. They then translate this concept...
