One of these days, I'm going to upgrade this blog and get spiffy tabs like the other uber-cool bloggers have. But that would require time that I don't have, so for now I'm going to just throw everything in all together! Therefore, I am now presenting. . . . . . . . Khemistry for Kids (That's to annoy my brother, who has a profound hatred for signs with forced alliteration. . . .think 'Kountry Kitchen', and you're in the right ballpark!) Do you remember your high school Chemistry class? You...

Students use manipulatives to model how to balance chemical equations and understand the law of conservation of mass. These tools help students visualize the number of atoms participating in each side of a chemical reaction by modeling the reactants and products. Includes enough materials for 10 lab groups. Includes 1-year access to digital resources that support 3-dimensional instruction for NGSS. Digital resources may include a teacher's manual and student guide, pre-lab activities and...

I am late sharing this; however, it's better late than never. This is something that was shared by a former colleague of mine, Ms. Julia Sloan. I thought it was a great way to visually represent e- configuration to help students with the concept. The following rules for assigning electron orbitals can be applied: 1. The Aufbau Principle Aufbau, which comes from the German word aufbauen, means to build up or arrange. This particular principle states that electrons occupy the lowest available...

High school chemistry for teachers and students - Entire 11th grade course - Including labs, worksheets, handouts, notes, and PowerPoint lessons.

I really enjoy this lab - it's like a big chemistry logic problem. This lab is one of the activities found at Science CAP (part of the ide@s website). You'll need to visit the website to download and print the file, but I'll give you a brief synopsis. Before class, you prepare 12 sets of 4 dropper bottles (A, B, C, D). The 4 bottles in each set contain an acid (vinegar), a base (ammonia), water and phenolphthalein. Which substance goes in which bottle varies with each set - the provided...
