 .
- Have students
use the internet to do this
"Chemistry Scavenger Hunt" .
- Have students
to the "Atomic Structure and
Theory" Magic
Square.
- Do this "Atoms and Elements"
crossword
puzzle. The author tells you to set your printer options to
print the background. To do this, select "Tools" in your
browser, then "internet options", select the "advanced" tab and scroll
down to "Printing" and place a check in the box, "Print background
colors and images."
- Print this

(NOTE: The htm version doesn't seem to work in the Mozilla
Firefox browser.).
- Have students
write a childrens' book on an
element with this "Atomic Structure"
WebQuest.
- Try this Teacher's
Domain (you must sign up for
free) activity, "The Strange World of Electrons,"
which includes 3
videos.
- "Atomic
Musical Chairs"
is middle schools activity for discovering the structure of atoms.
- Do this
"Atomic Structure"
crossword puzzle.
- In the "Molecular
Structure and Geometry"
exercise from Patrick
Gormley, students will assign
geometry, molecular structure, and hybridization to five substances
using the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsiion (VSEPR)
theory.
- Have your
students play Mrs. J's "Electron
Configuration Battleship" .
- Do Mrs J's
"Patterns in Electrons"
worksheet (includes periodic table).
- The "Hog
Hilton"
activity is a clever way of demonstrating the way in which electrons
fill orbitals. It was sent to the Google HSChem group by
Carole Henry of Soutwest High School in San Antonio, TX.
- Have students
do this "Configure Your
Electrons" worksheet.
- Nova's
video "Island

studying atoms or the
periodic table. It's about the search for element 114 and
goes "inside the nucleus of an atom to learn how protons and neutrons
interact."
 Use the
PBS "Atom
Builder" activity to complete
this Atom Builder worksheet.- Show this video cartoon of "The Higgs Boson Explained."
Labs
- In the
"Electrons in Atoms"
lab students use a dart to determine where electrons will fall outside
the nucleus. Students can use Excel to graph their
results or the teacher can copy and paste the "Generic Graph" found in
my Management Tips
section on the Chemistry
home page into the student copy of the lab report. Here is an
example one of my student groups did .
- If using
darts in your classroom is out of
the
question, try the "Quantum Mechanics and Split Peas" lab
with teacher
instructions .
This was
contributed by Caryn Sugden of Greenwood, IN from the NSTA
Listserve .
- Show this "Flame Tests"
demonstration of seven elements and have students complete Abigail
Freiberger's "Flame Test Demonstration"
worksheet that goes with it.
- In the "Nuts
and Bolts Lab"
students will nuts and bolts as models of atoms, and use them to
visualize and study some of the properties of atoms and compounds.
- Simulate
Rutherford's experiment with "Rutherford's Roller" .
- Rosemarie
Smith of the NSTA
Listserve
contributed this "Seeing the Light"
lab that investigates the emission of
light by radient objects.
