Density Lab
This lab is fantastic for connecting density-in-theory to real life! This winner is great for general science, layers of the earth, oceanography, marine biology, or chemistry. My students are always so proud of themselves for figuring it out! The student sheet includes a section on evaluating the model (vital to the Next Gen. Science Standards!) Fits very well in a science journal/interactive students notebook (ISN). The teacher instructions gives detailed material list, instruction, and hints f

Limiting Reactant Lab (vinegar & baking soda)
This lab usually takes about 45 minutes including the post-lab calculations. You will need vinegar, baking soda, test tubes and balloons. The handout is formatted so it can be folded like a book and glued in students notebooks. I've done this with my "on-level" 10th grade chemistry class for several years and it works well.Follow me on Twitter @DenmanChem to see more from my chemistry class.

Periodic Table of the Elements Code Puzzle
Use the period table of the elements to find the atomic number in each box. Then write the symbol for that element to solve the riddles below. This activity helps students practice using the periodic table, and lets them have fun at the same time! My students loved being "Codebreakers", and this activity made them much more fluent when using the periodic table of the elements. See if they can create their own "code" when they've finished. There are 10 different puzzles to complete, so you can us

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:
