Endothermic vs. Exothermic Reaction Lab
In this lab, students explore the difference between an endothermic and exothermic reaction through by combining hydrogen peroxide & yeast (part 1) and baking soda & vinegar (part 2). This is a great lab to show the differences in the release and absorption of heat. Includes all steps of the scientific method, along with a full rubric for assessment.

An Introduction to Chemistry for Elementary Students
How many of us failed Chemistry when we were in school?
It was difficult, confusing, and sometimes downright BORING!
But in reality, without Chemistry we all would fall apart! Chemistry is what holds us together and it is all around us. Our job as teachers is to help younger students understand that Chemistry is both fun and engaging!
This introductory unit is designed to be just that for younger students aged 8-12, and it was written with young minds in mind!
It includes over ten lessons

Ooblek Lab
This is a short lab to show the Law of Conservation of Mass. Students will measure corn starch and water and measure the masses. Although a fun new substance is made the mass will stay the same. There is a page with data table included and another copy where students must complete their own data table.

Observing Elements Lab
This lab can be used in a unit about the Periodic Table or as a review for students as they begin to study more advanced chemistry. The fully editable lab sheet can be used to focus on a variety of properties of both elements and the Periodic Table: how to find information on the table including group number, period number, atomic number, atomic mass and classification of elements (metal, non-metal, metalloid) as well as the family (halogen, alkali metal, transition metal etc.). It can also be u

Density Worksheet
For those that want to do a lab. Here is a quick worksheet for you to do. For those that don't have time to do the density lab, this is the raw data of those that have done the lab in my classroom. Like all labs, the results generally match the accepted values. The students practice using the density formula to calculate its value. They then decide if it would float in water (density less than 1 gm/cm3). The generally accepted values of this substances are given but like most actual labs results

Periodic Table Battleship
This is a great way to get kids to practice using the words period and group while getting acquainted with the periodic table. At a higher level you can have them practice the family names such as Noble gases or Alkali metals instead of Group numbers.
Another hint for memory is to write the words in their notes this way:
G
R
O
U
PERIOD
so they can have a visual reminder of which one goes up and down and which one goes side to side

Candy Cane Science Experiment
This science activity can be used with the whole class, in centers, during a class party or in small groups. It is a hands-on science experiment. Students dissolve candy canes in water and follow the scientific method while doing it. Students will write a hypothesis, collect data, and form conclusions. In my class, we do this activity as part of the "holiday" party. They think they are having fun...but they are doing science and learning! Inquiry based.

Get to Know the Elements! Bingo to practice element recognition for beginners
How is it that K represents potassium and Na represents sodium? Instead of discussing the origins of the symbols, this activity allows students a fun way to practice identifying the elements. The game is set-up to practice identifying the first 24 elements, but can easily be altered to practice elements found in different groups or periods. Students will randomly write the elements in their bingo board and then attempt to earn a bingo (be sure to choose the correct winning bingo type prior to

Stations for Elements, Compounds, Organic vs Inorganic and Energy
There are 4 stations for this review station lab. The more sets of stations you print out the smaller your groups can be. Students will rotate around the stations every 5-8 minutes depending on students readiness level over the concept. Students will use the Student answer document (listed free in my store) to answer the questions on the table. This is student centered and the role of the teacher is to guide them in the right direction for rotations and to answer misconceptions. Students will vi

Elements, Mixtures, Compounds Lab
This lab is a GREAT way for students to visualize elements, mixtures, and compounds. Students will investigate a few numbered dishes, each that has a specific combination of nuts, bolts, and washers assembled or not assembled to represent chemical bonds. Students then investigate the contents of the dish, and determine if the dish best represents an element, mixture, compound, or mixture of compounds, or mixture of compounds and elements. The end of the activity has a great follow up with though

Middle Years/High School Lab Equipment Scavenger Hunt
Middle Years/High School Lab Equipment Scavenger Hunt Regardless of what level students are at – if students work in a laboratory – students should always be familiar with layout of the lab, including and especially the location of First Aid equipment. Whether it will be students’ first taste of the lab or fourth, every year, I take 1-3 days to go through safety procedures in the laboratory (that’s right, even my grade 12’s who may have already been through lab safety thrice before!!).

Using the Periodic Table (DUAL LANGUAGE SPANISH)
In this guided assignment, students use the periodic table to find characteristics of example elements. Included are atomic mass, atomic number (number of protons), symbol, and name of the element. The sheet also explains how to find each of these, along with the examples that students have to find.

Factors Affecting Solubility Student Inquiry Lab (with sugar & sugar cubes)
Students will design 3 short experiments to investigate how agitation (stirring), particle size (sugar vs sugar cubes) and temperature affect solubility. I've done this lab for years with my 10th grade on-level Chemistry students, but it could be done with different ages. Students really benefit from practicing writing procedures and developing their own experiments.I've also included GOOGLE SLIDES to introduce the lab and show bad examples of lab procedures for students to discuss and correct b
