Some fun things this week

• Metals vs Non-Metals

My fake classroom assignment

My Classroom Website

National Chemistry Week!

This week should definitely be special in the classroom. Do something crazy and fun this week. Peaking interest for students. Opening the possibility for them to become more involved in Chemistry.

• Fun demos can be done that don't really fit into other lessons.
• Projects having kids look in to new ways that chemistry affects their lives.
• Extra Credit given for a presentation on a current chemistry topic in the news.

BYU does a special series of Chemistry Magic Shows- that are amazing fun.

Make it known across the entire school body: Chemistry is something to celebrate!

Other Fun things I came across this week:

• Chemistry Movie Effects
• Halloween Lesson ideas
• Rainbow pH with red cabbage juice
