  Atomic Spectra, Electrons, Redox Reaction, Gas Laws, Temperature, Volume, Pressure | High School

  Lesson Plan: Fireworks Emergency Lesson Mark as Favorite (15 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will learn about electron structure, spectroscopy, gas laws, redox reactions, thermochemistry, and safety through reading the highly rated ChemMatters article, Fireworks! The lesson includes several activities to help promote literacy in the science classroom related to the reading. This lesson could be easily used as an emergency lesson plan for a substitute teacher, as most of the activities are self-guided.

  Lab: Emissions of Light Mark as Favorite (35 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will examine three different ways to excite electrons to produce visible light found in the electromagnetic spectrum. The students will then see that this visible light has a specific color, wavelength, and frequency. They will use their knowledge of the speed of light and plank's equation to examine the energy involved in the emission of light. Finally, the students will then apply their knowledge of the emission spectrum to how the composition of stars is determined.

  Lesson Plan: Atomic Spectra for At-Home Learning Mark as Favorite (13 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students first observe a flame test demonstration conducted by their teacher, and hypothesize about the identity of an unknown sample. Then they make connections in their understanding as they are tasked with building a prism, researching about wavelengths, and creating a model of electron energy levels.

  Elements, Identifying an Unknown, Atomic Spectra, Emission Spectrum, Electromagnetic Spectrum, Emission Spectrum | Elementary School, Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Elements Are Out of This World Mark as Favorite (6 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will learn about the elements that make up Earth’s atmosphere and lithosphere and then compare and contrast the information with the elements that compose various other astronomical objects.

• 

  Atomic Theory, Model of the Atom, Subatomic Particles, Isotopes, Ions, Atomic Spectra, Emission Spectrum, Orbitals , Electrons | High School

  Lesson Plan: Atomic Structure Unit Plan Mark as Favorite (160 Favorites)

  The AACT high school classroom resource library has everything you need to put together a unit plan for your classroom: lessons, activities, labs, projects, videos, simulations, and animations. We constructed a unit plan using AACT resources that is designed to teach Atomic Structure to your students.

  Electromagnetic Spectrum, Atomic Spectra, Electrons, Identifying an Unknown | High School

  Lab: The Case of the Contaminated Well Mark as Favorite (107 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will observe the colors produced when different metal salt solutions are heated in a flame. Students will take on the role of a forensic investigator and use their results to help them determine if collected evidence was contaminated.

• 

  Electromagnetic Spectrum, Atomic Spectra, Electrons | High School

  Demonstration: Flame Test (Rainbow Demo) Mark as Favorite (105 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe the variety of colors produced when different metals or metallic salts are heated in a flame.
