Elements, Compounds, Formulae and Naming Compounds - Middle School Science

Elements, Compounds, Formulae and Naming Compounds - Engaging Middle School Chemistry This comprehensive chemistry unit introduces key concepts like atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, the periodic table, chemical symbols, formulae and naming compounds. Through an animated PowerPoint, anticipation guides, foldables, worksheets, fact sheets, homeworks and more, students will understand that atoms combine to form molecules and compounds, analyze periodic tables to ID elements and symbols, interpret chemical formulas, and name common compounds. Implementation ideas for whole, small groups or independent practice are included. Differentiation, literacy, self-assessment and peer review are incorporated into the 13 resources so educators can build unique lessons tailored to their students' needs and time constraints. Two homework options with answer keys allow practice during or after this introductory chemistry unit.
