Lesson Extensions: Chemistry

Keep the learning going for your fast finishers!

Lesson Extensions are based around student choice to help you intercept those fast finishers with critical thinking and creative activities. They are a phenomenal way to end lessons, fill in those blank times during testing, and curb possible distractions by offering rigorous, but fun, learning opportunities.

Lesson Extensions help you scaffold learning for those students who are ready to dive a little deeper with activities connected to NGSS and TEKS chemistry standards!

What are the four activities included in each Lesson Extension?

• Puzzler – improve problem-solving skills with a relevant puzzle
• Maker Space – encourage STEAM connections in the classroom with a hands-on activity
• Tech Connection – demonstrate student-learning with digital media options
