Intro To Chemistry: The Dihydrogen Monoxide Assignment
Prank your students with this sensationalized assignment about a "dangerous substance." Students read about the substance, complete a worksheet about its properties and then convince family members to support a ban on the substance. What is the substance? H2O!
Assignment comes with a school letterhead notice to send home with students, urging them that the science department needs them to learn about a chemical substance.
Great way to start off the year, or a unit. Parents love it!

The different shapes of the lit portion of the Moon that can be seen from Earth are known as phases of the Moon. Each phase repeats itself every 29.5 days.A phase is an angle of the moon to the earth so it appears differently every day.

IONIC BONDS MANIPULATIVES
These manipulatives help students who are struggling with the idea of writing ionic formulas.
Cut out the two sides (the negatives do not need the 'inside arrow' cut out).
When students match up enough of both ions to create a zero total charge, they will have a clear vision of how many positive ions and how many negative ions are needed to make a particular compound.
Strongly suggest when cutting out the positive ions that you cut out around at least the tips of the arrows so that they can
