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.

Trinity: A Reader's Guide
If you are looking for a way to bring reading into the content areas (or science and social studies into reading), Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb by Jonathan Fetter-Vorm is an excellent way to go. This book provides a scientific, historic and critical perspective of the building of the first atomic bomb in graphic form. I teach high school learning support reading, and I used each of these guides with my students. The guides were a little bit challenging, so I would actually

LAB - Integrated Physics/Chem & Physics - Work Mini Lab/Activity
Objectives: Investigate and describe the scientific definition of work.WORK is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of force. For work to be done, two things must occur. First, you must apply a force to an object. Second, the object must move in the same direction as the force you apply. If there is no motion, there is no work. This is very different from the way we use the word work in everyday life. This lab allows students to easily connect the concept of
