Law of Conservation of Mass Reading Passage and Question Set
This product features a reading passage about the law of conservation of mass. Along with the passage there is a question set, question set with two sets on one page (to save on copying), and an answer key. The question set is both fill in the blank and open ended. My students always benefit from this activity!
Periodic Table Scavenger Hunt
A nice, simple review of the periodic table. Students will find symbols, names, as well as other trivia in the periodic table (like which elements are named after planets?). Also included are the lyrics to "The Elements" by Tom Lehrer (a great sing-a-long).

Atomic Structure: Parts of an Atom Worksheet
The Parts of an Atom worksheet contains 3 pages of drawings, charts, and questions to help students understand the atom. Students define an atom, label the parts, describe and compare the protons, neutrons, and electrons, and determine the meaning of atomic number and mass number. This clear and concise lesson was effective in getting the students to describe the parts of an atom. I included a detailed answer key with explanations for each of the questions.

Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds
I created these practice sheets to help my students understand and practice writing formulas for ionic compounds. This concept is relatively simple, but the application of this skill and plenty of practice are what help it sink in. The first sheet contains a basic overview of the rules for writing formulas and a page and a half of practice problems including two written as they might see on a standardized test and two challenge problems that test their understanding of the underlying concept.

Christmas Chemistry Color by Number - by Valence Electrons
Solve each chemical element for the number of valence electrons indicated by its atomic mass and use that answer to determine the color of each section. For example hydrogen has 1 valence electron so wherever you see "H" use the number color 1 which is yellow.

Ionic and Covalent Bonding Worksheet with Key
This worksheet (and Answer Key) is a great way to assess students' prior knowledge of ionic and covalent bonding. It is a great pre-assessment for high school chemistry classes, and a wonderful review activity for middle and high school classes that have already learned about bonding in class. On this sheet, you will find one example of a covalent bonding reaction and one example of an ionic bonding reaction. For each example, there are four questions that are specifically written to target stud

Claim, Evidence and Reasoning (C.E.R.) Rubric NGSS
This is a rubric that is specifically design for CER's. In next generation science and now in general, science is all about CER's. The student creates a claim based on observations. Then collects evidence to collaborate claim. Finally, the student uses scientific concepts, theories, and laws to reason why his/her claim is a valid claim. Please see my 3 C.E.R. specific tests.

Lactase Enzyme Lab
This lab demonstrates both the specificity and denaturation of the lactase enzyme. This is a true kitchen-chemistry lab- the only required materials are skim milk, lactase tablets (from the pharmacy aisle), and glucose test strips. The lab is fully editable. To simplify the lab or to shorten it for just one class period, I suggest removing "Part 2". A pre-lab worksheet, teacher preparation notes, expected results, and possible modification/extension are included.
