2 page flow chart to write names and formulas for ionic and covalent chemical compounds with examples. Includes PDF and word document for easy modification.
Love the Family Feud? Here’s the Chemistryy Edition!!! Two variations of the Game. Can be used for midterm and final exam review! PowerPoint is editable, so questions can be changed, replaced, or even swapped in order. Follows the standard family feud style and is designed for 2-3 teams. Scoreboard built into the game for convenience. Timers are also built in for the lightning round. Includes a teacher info slide and a lightning round question slide with acceptable answers and suggested point values. Each game has 9 standard rounds plus the lightning round.
Great opportunity to review a lot of concepts and open review discussions!
Students are asked to draw Lewis dot structures of molecules and then assign their geometries. Links to the PhET activities in which these molecules are modeled are provided so that students may visualize the molecules in 3D and check their assigned geometries. 1 page worksheet and full answer key included.
Worksheet designed to help teach/reinforce the concept of determining percent composition of molecules from their molecular formulas in a stepwise fashion. It starts with identifying molar mass from the periodic table and works up to percent composition breaking it down into steps and giving examples for each step along the way. Includes a full answer key!!!
Notes on Percent yield and mass to mass stoichiometry with examples and practice problems for use in chemistry. Worksheet is one page front and back, full answer key included.
Review worksheet that covers balancing, classifying chemical equations, writing chemical equations, and calculating enthalpy change from bond energies. Complete with Answer key!
Chemistry Curriculum map with scope and sequence, essential questions, objectives, vocab, suggested activities, and labs updated to align with the new 2016 MA state standards (easily adapted to NGSS!!). Designed around 2 year Vocational School (2 week cycles) but could be used as fall and spring semester for a comprehensive/traditional high school!
Chart I created to help my students learn the 4 states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, and plasma) as well as the changes between them. It is a word document for easy editing! There is some empty spaces where I had my students draw their own little pictures for each phase/phase change to help them remember better. Filled in key for easy reference or for students who need modifications (They can just draw pictures and have the pre-filled chart for reference!) Also includes an instructions page to show students what to fill-in where without giving them the answers!
Aligned to the following MA state standard for High School Introductory Physics:
3.3 Describe the relationship between average molecular kinetic energy and temperature. Recognize that energy is absorbed when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas, and that energy is released when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid to a solid. Explain the relationships among evaporation, condensation, cooling, and warming.
Keep your kids engaged and turn a movie day into a day of quality notes!
Worksheet of questions to accompany the Bill Nye the Science Guy episode on Phases of Matter! Answer key included!
Stoichiometry practice worksheet with a holiday theme! Spell "Happy Turkey Day" by solving chemistry problems! Not teaching Stoichiometry till later in the year? Then try the Easter version! PDF and word versions and Full answer key included!
Guided worksheet that reviews determining percent composition of a compound, finding hydrate formulas based on mass from a dehydration reaction, using percent composition to determine empirical formulas, and using empirical formulas to determine molecular formulas based on experimental molar masses. Guided format with notes and examples built in for use in teaching the concept with a practice problem for each section. Great for introducing or reviewing concepts. 2 pages plus full answer key included.
