  • Percent Composition, Identifying an Unknown, Net Ionic Equation, Atomic Mass | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lab: Analysis of Carbonate Compounds

    In this lab, students identify three unknown substances by measuring the amount of product (CO2) produced by a reaction with hydrochloric acid.

  • Molecular Formula, Atomic Mass | High School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Molecule Building Tournament

    In this activity, students determine molecular formulas given formula masses and a limited number of atoms.

  • Chemical Bond, Molecular Structure, Atoms, Elements, Matter, Interdisciplinary, Naming Compounds | Elementary School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Lesson Plan: Modeling Molecules

    In this lesson, students explore the structure of matter by designing, building, comparing, and evaluating models of a variety of simple molecules.

  • Emission Spectrum, Emission Spectrum | High School

    Lesson Plan: Modeling Energy in Chemistry: Energy and the Electron

    This activity is designed for students to build a scientific argument about the relationship between energy and spectral lines by exploring how light interacts with atoms. In the process, students will examine proposed models of the hydrogen atom and use collected data to analyze the proposed models. They will then select one of the models and write a scientific argument to support their choice. Students will then review additional data to support and/or refute their selection. Based on their analysis, students will revise their selected model and construct a new argument to support their revisions.  

  • Ionic Bonding, Naming Compounds, Precipitate, Ions, Molecular Formula | Middle School

    Access is an AACT member benefit. Activity: Bond with a Classmate

    In this activity, students are assigned an ion and form bonds with their classmates, recording the formula and name of the compound they created.

  • Trends of the Periodic Table, Electron Affinity, Atomic Radius, Ionic Radius

    Simulation: Periodic Trends II: Electron Affinity, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius

    The May 2016 simulation is a follow-up to the March 2016 simulation. Students will focus their investigation on the electron affinity of an atom. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine the formation of an anion as well as compare the atomic radius of a neutral atom to the ionic radius of its anion.

  • Trends of the Periodic Table, Atomic Radius, Ionic Radius, Ionization Energy, Valence Electrons | Middle School, High School

    Simulation: Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius

    In this simulation for the March 2016 issue, students can investigate the periodic trends of atomic radius, ionization energy, and ionic radius. By choosing elements from the periodic table, atoms can be selected for a side by side comparison and analysis. Students can also attempt to ionize an atom by removing its valence electrons. Quantitative data is available for each periodic trend, and can be further examined in a graph.

  • Atomic Theory, Law of Conservation of Energy

    Simulation: Exciting Electrons

    In the March 2015 issue, students explore what happens when electrons within a generic atom are excited from their ground state. They will see that when an electron relaxes from an excited state to its ground state, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
