An activity based booklet to study the properties of matter. Focused on; Mass Volume Density Temperature Melting and Boiling Points Solubility Pressure

Students will learn about how ions are formed and what isotopes are. They will also complete a mini-project about uses of radioisotopes.

Teaching your students to write a proper detailed lab report. Give this to them for guidance. Can be adapted for all age groups.

You can teach your students about elements, compounds and mixtures through this packet. Each lesson has simplified reading text, an enquiry activity and a formative to confirm understanding. Just download and use!

A one-stop download to teach an entire unit. It includes, reading material, simple activities, short quizzes, inquiry questions based on a pHET simulation and useful links to learn about; What is the Kinetic Molecular Theory? What laws govern the behaviour of gases? What are the relationships between the temperature, pressure, volume, and number of particles of a gas? What modern technologies depend on gas chemistry? What environmental phenomena and issues are related to gases?

This packet covers the following learning objectives through simplified one-page readings, virtual labs, guided inquiry, researching secondary database etc. Includes a formative after every lesson and guidelines for a project based summative. Define Arhennius acid and base. Identify acid and base from their formula. Describe characteristic properties of acids in their reaction with metals, metal oxides and hydroxides and metal carbonates Describe the characteristic properties of bases in their reaction with acids and ammonium salts. Understand the pH scale as a figure expressing the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Apply knowledge of indicators (Litmus, Methyl Orange and Universal Indicator) to determine pH of solutions. Differentiate between strong and weak and concentrate and dilute acids and alkali. Discuss acid rain and ocean acidification.

This packet has been designed as an introduction to high school chemistry. It begins with students exploring the importance of chemistry as a subject, how it overlaps with other subject areas, it’s relevance in the world today. The second part deals with the scientific methodology and the final part deals with fact-checking and communicating in science using the claim-evidence-reasoning (CER) approach. All three parts have reading materials, an activity and a formative check. ****Bonus: A summative test to confirm their understanding of the topic.

Use this booklet to help students develop an understanding of the ‘nature of science’ through simple activities.

This booklet can be used to introduce students to the periodic table with fun puzzles, crosswords, guided research, etc while focussing on the use of Inductive and Deductive reasoning while putting the periodic table in the past and its usage in the present times.
