For this atoms worksheet, students review terms associated with atoms which includes isotopes, transmutation, and radioactive decay. This worksheet has 11 short answer questions.

In this rocks worksheet, students review the process of absolute dating of rocks and compare it to the relative dating process. This worksheet has 16 fill in the blank questions.

Young scholars relate to the idea of periodicity & give example of other periodic events and identify and use the periodic table as a useful resource. They also identify the relationship of elements to certain groups & periods...

Students write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. For this chemistry lesson, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Students examine pollutants and investigate air pollution emitted by a car in a year.  In this air pollution lesson students complete an activity and make calculations. 

Students calculate the Balmer series. In this physics instructional activity, students observe hydrogen lamp spectra using spectrometers. They calculate wavelength and compare them with their theoretical calculations.

Students are introduced to the periodic table. They find the common trends among the electron configurations and the names of certain groups of the table. Students explore the atomic mass, atomic number, mass number, mass and charge...

Young scholars explore the process of carbon dating fossils to determine their age. They simulate radioactive decay using pennies in a shoe box. Heads represents a decayed atom each time they shake the box. They use the data to calculate...

Pupils demonstrate radioactive decay using candy corns. In this Physics lesson, students make predictions, collect data and form conclusions about patterns in radioactive decay.

Students, in groups, take samples from a creek and keep a field journal on their samples. They also perform tests on their samples.

Learners discover the background and properties of minerals. They examine fluorite and record data after testing it. They use the internet to help them discover information about minerals.

Students discuss the mass-energy relationship based on Einstein's work. They calculate the energy released in various scenerios and sketch diagrams for the Lyman, Balmer and Pfund Series. In groups, they discuss the role of photons and...

First graders gain knowledge about solids, liquids and gases by taking a look at the things around them. They have to classify certain picture cards based on which category they feel the picture falls under. As a whole, the class...

Students compare Jupiter and Earth. For this Earth and space studies lesson, students compare the composition of Earth and Jupiter and analyze how the composition affects the rate at which the planets spin.

Two animated slides explain the decomposition reactions that occurs within a catalytic converter. An enthalpy diagram is displayed. Hess's Law is demonstrated. Finally, the analogy of football is used to explain Hess's Law. This...

Brilliant graphics depict a variety of allotropes, especially the allotropes of carbon. Some notes are available to help make these useful for teaching your young chemists, but not for every slide. With some additional preparation on...
