You know how to name compounds. You can do it in your sleep. But, do you know where students get stuck in the lesson? What can you do to prevent students from getting lost? In this article, we address all that and more.

How do you teach finding protons, neutrons, and electrons in an element?

You may not think the order you teach topics in chemistry matters, but it does. Teaching them in the wrong order can lead to less interest, less understanding and lower grades.

What is the difference in a shell, subshells, and orbital? While many things related to quantum chemistry can be confusing, consider using these illustrations to make explaining this to your high school students easy.

Does polar or nonpolar confuse you even as a chemistry teacher? No worries, I’ll show you the easiest way you’ve ever seen to explain this to your students. You’re already an expert, but after this, you’ll feel like an expert too.

If you are looking for lots of last minute lessons on the periodic table, you’ve found an article that will help you. There are 7 lessons you can teach with color pencils and a blank periodic table. High school and middle school students will appreciate the strategy behind the color coding.

Sure, you can teach your high school chemistry students to cross charges. But what if that isn’t working? What if you need a different way to explain how the charges must balance out to zero within the chemical compound?

When students struggle to name chemical compounds, it’s often because they don’t take time to name polyatomic ions. Help students out by using one of these 5 tools to learn polyatomic ions.

If you’ve ever had a student come up to you and explain they don’t know how to tell if a compound is ionic or covalent, teach them this hack. It’s quick, easy, and painless.

If you think quantum chemistry is boring to teach, then you’ve never seen these worksheets. They are fun, creative, and make teaching spdf, quantum numbers, shells, and subshells - easy.

How should chemistry students take notes? Many students just copy down slides or the board. Instead, show your students how to make notes and comments on the problems and processes they are learning.
