Enhanced Differentiation Chemistry Reading Comprehension 42 Passages | 35 Topics

This set of 42 science articles (35 topics and 7 more accessible passages for younger / lower lexile level readers) on the noble gases, the alkali metals and the mol covers a great amount of excellent chemistry topics. It also covers chemical equilibrium, Bunsen burners and the fire triangle plus even more. Now including what is pH? Polar vs non-polar and ionic vs covalent bonds too. There are so many topics covered including redox reactions, endo- and exothermic reactions, smart materials and chemical 3D printing and bio-plastics. The science articles help teach science literacy and more importantly chemistry literacy.

Specifically the topics covered are: The periodic table, acids and bases, metals, alkanes, alkenes & alkynes, states of matter, redox reactions, endo and exothermic reactions, bonding types, catalysts, fertilizer and ammonia, acid rain, fireworks, electrolysis, cleaning chemistry, bioplastics and green chemistry, the chemistry of natural colors, chemical 3D printing, glow in the dark chemistry, nanotechnology in chemistry, smart materials and chemistry, the fire triangle, the alkali metals, the noble gases, precipitation and precipitates, atomic models, the mol, Bunsen burners, gunpowder, specific heat capacity, equilibrium, elements, compounds & mixtures, polar vs non-polar bonds, what is pH, touching objects (electron repulsion), ionic vs covalent bonds. 

These 42 chemistry science reading passages on 35 topics provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can help your students learn all about chemistry and scientific vocabulary. For digital, you can provide a Google doc copy for ease of submission or a Microsoft word version as well. In these articles with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking.
