Introduce elementary students to basic chemistry concepts through 20 hands-on chemical-reaction experiments with explanations of the underlying science.
Run a 9-station rotation lab teaching acid-base neutralization chemistry through varied hands-on, research, reading, video, and assessment formats.
High school chemistry lesson package teaching periodic table organization and trends: element properties, periodic table groups (alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, halogens, noble gases), metals/nonmetals/metalloids, electron shielding, and the four periodic trends (atomic radius, ionic radius, ionization energy, electronegativity).
A middle/high school chemistry lab-station activity teaching pure substances vs. mixtures and the four physical separation techniques (filtration, evaporation, distillation, chromatography).
Reinforce elementary/upper-elementary science concepts in simple chemistry (atomic symbols/structure, periodic table, matter, elements/compounds/mixtures, acids/bases, solvents/solutions, oxidation, gases) (grades 4-6) through reproducible worksheets, hands-on activities, and teacher background material.
An edible/hands-on science activity guide presenting 10 kitchen-based experiments that teach science concepts (e.g., density, acid-base reactions) through food-safe materials.
A multi-file distance-learning/homeschool chemistry pack teaching mixtures, solutions, dissolving, suspensions, and saturated solutions via an animated PowerPoint, worksheets, and a photocopiable lesson.
A 23-chapter set of hands-on science labs and activities exploring water science topics for upper elementary/middle school students: water pressure, buoyancy, chemistry, surface tension, ice, purification, conservation, weather, and water's role in life.
Provide a collection of hands-on science experiments/demonstrations (chemical reactions, physical science, sensory play) for elementary students to try with adult-supplied household materials.
Baggie Chemistry Lab | Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions Students explore chemical reactions and their resulting energy changes with this engaging baggie chemistry lab.
A complete, NGSS-aligned full-year (36-week, 10-unit, 96-lesson) Grade 7 science curriculum covering life, physical, and Earth science plus engineering design, delivered as 8 files (teacher guide, lesson plans, labs/STEM, assessments, answer keys/rubrics, reading passages/guided notes, worksheets/vocabulary, and projects/review).
Provide a hands-on home/troop science activity booklet (aimed partly at Girl Scout leaders) teaching kitchen-based science concepts such as density through experiments.
Heat Transfer Science Lab is an engaging hands-on science activity focused on endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions. Students in grades 6-8 follow procedures to combine various household substances and document detailed…
The physical properties of a substance such as appearance, melting point, solubility in water, and conductivity of a dissolved solution tell us a lot about the type of particles in a compound. In this experiment, students will conduct tests on the physical properties of different compounds and compile data enabling them to classify the…
Demonstrate diffusion through a simple STEM experiment using Skittles candy, warm water, and a plate.
Lesson 6.1 - Types of Substances This instructional tool is planned tactfully to serve the educational requirements of students from Grade 6 up to Grade 12, and to arm teachers with a multifaceted teaching aid that beautifully corresponds…
A hands-on inquiry science lab where students conduct three experiments (viscosity comparison, floating paperclip, water drops on a penny) to discover the properties of water: viscosity, surface tension, and cohesion.
A multi-station chemistry lab activity teaching chemical reactions, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and balancing chemical equations through 7 rotating stations (plus 2 rest stations) covering hands-on equation balancing, research, explanation writing, reading comprehension, a knowledge-check quiz, a video lesson, and student-created questions.
A 9-station chemistry lab-rotation activity teaching the mole and Avogadro's number, molar mass, and stoichiometry calculations for middle/high school chemistry.
A 9-station rotation lab (7 activity stations + 2 rest stations) teaching single and double displacement reactions in chemistry through hands-on, research, reading, video and question-writing tasks.
A 9-station chemistry lab-rotation activity teaching naming and writing formulas for molecular, ionic and polyatomic compounds for middle/high school chemistry.
