Discover Chemistry Lessons for Your K-12 Classroom

What are you teaching this week? Next week? Next month?

When do you teach chemistry? What topics do you cover to meet your curriculum needs? Mixtures and solutions? Chemical reactions? Enzymes? Substrates? Replacement? Catalysts? Polymerization? Green chemistry?

We know educators spend a lot of time searching for quality lessons to fit their curriculum needs each year. You want quality materials that align with your class objectives, materials that are easy to use, thoughtfully designed and prepared, and help bring concepts to life with hands-on experiments and activities that really work.

Science Buddies offers quality resources for K-12 STEM education for free!

To make it easy to find free STEM lessons and activities that fit your classroom needs, we've created a series of posts that highlight lessons, activities, and experiments that are hand-picked for educators who will be teaching specific subjects.

Teaching Chemistry

Our STEM resource collections for teaching K-12 chemistry are listed below:

Three experiment images to respresent a collection of chemical reaction activities, slime, invisible ink, and glasses of foaming solution

Slushy mixture, brazil nut effect, and oobleck to represent collection of STEM lessons and activities to teach about the chemistry of mixtures

Five Foaming, Fizzing, and Bubbling Science Projects!

Teaching Science Curriculum — Chemistry

The following curated collections to support teaching K-12 chemistry are available:

Chemical Reactions: More than 20 video lessons, lesson plans, activities, and experiments for exploring what happens when you combine reactants.
Mixtures and Solutions: Not all substances form a chemical reaction when combined. Some form a mixture. Resources in this collection help students learn about homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
Paper Chromatography: Lessons, activities, and videos to introduce and explore paper chromatography.
Fizzing and Foaming Activities: These activities all feature a chemical or physical reaction that results in foaming, fizzing, or bubbling.
