5-Day No-Prep Sub Plan — Chemistry

Five full days of substitute-ready high-school chemistry in one no-prep download, built for the problem that makes a chemistry absence hard: the person covering your room almost certainly cannot teach the content, and chemistry is the subject where a well-meaning wrong answer does real damage. Nothing here asks them to teach. Each day is an original nonfiction reading with every answer on the handout, followed by a page that checks its own answers, and a run sheet at the front tells the substitute exactly what to hand out and what to print. The five days run the course in order — atomic structure and the periodic table, bonding, reactions and stoichiometry, states and solutions and gases, acids and bases and energy — so this is a week of coursework rather than a folder of activities. That is about $2.59 a day, and you come back to a complete set of answer keys and a class that kept working.

  • Sub & Teacher Notes cover sheet — what to hand out each day

  • 5 self-checking worksheet sets (one per day, 69 questions total) + 5 answer keys

  • 17-page PDF: print pages 1-11 for the student set; answer keys at the back

  • Each day is standalone — no prior lesson needed; run the days in any order

  • Chemistry, grades 9-12; tagged Emergency Sub Plans + First Week of School
