Ultimate Guide to the Solubility Rules (graphic organizer, handout, study guide)
By Stephanie O.
Help your students memorize the solubility rules, using this handy reference sheet, rather than a laundry list of rules in no particular order!
These charts map out the exact instructions I use with my tutoring students if they've been overwhelmed or stumped by their textbook or their chemistry teacher's instructions.
What's included:
+ all of the solubility rules given in typical high-school and college chemistry textbooks, written in a logical order
+ clear organization to encourage study skills like chunking, integration with prior knowledge, and active recall
+ mnemonics for the common exceptions to the general rules
+ tips to help your students get unstuck in actually applying the rules (never miss a precipitate again!)
Suited for intro high school chemistry, AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry SL/HL, college general chemistry, and MCAT.
Risk-free: if you're not delighted by how helpful this study guide is, I'll refund you 100%, no questions asked.
Appreciate this study guide? Rate it 5 stars so that other teachers know it's worth their while! (Plus, you'll get rewarded with $0.45 in TeachShare credits!)

Ultimate Guide to the Polyatomic Ions (graphic organizer, handout, study guide)
By Stephanie O.
Help your students memorize the polyatomic ions using this handy reference sheet, instead of overwhelming them with a laundry list of ions in no particular order. (Check out the video preview for a demo!)
These charts map out the exact tactics I use with my tutoring students if they've been overwhelmed or stumped by their chemistry teacher's instructions.
What's included:
+ 2 pages with the names and chemical formulas of the polyatomic ions listed here
+ clear organization for quick, easy reference (also: easily instruct your students to cross out ions you don't expect them to memorize)
+ precise prompts to foster student-centered learning (identifying and explaining the patterns in the ions' names and chemical formulas)
+ color-coding mnemonics to aid students in making connections between the ions' names and constituent elements
+ memorization tips that encourage study skills like chunking, elaborative interrogation, and active recall
+ BONUS 3rd page: straightforward explanation of all of the patterns (choose whether to include this page for your students as additional scaffolding, or to post it later as an "answer key," or to exclude it entirely)
Suited for intro high school chemistry, AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry SL/HL, college general chemistry, and MCAT.
