Pupils create trading cards for elements in the Periodic Table. Initially, they are introduced to the Periodic Table of Elements and the concept of elements in the world around us. After dividing into groups, learners use the Visual...

Young scholars create a periodic table of elements. In this chemistry lesson, students work together to build all of the different elements into a complete mini periodic table. They identify similarity and difference of the elements.

High schoolers explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an element they...

Student teams use a digital camcorder and iMovie to create a commercial about an element. They also use the Internet and their textbook to gather the following information about their element: the name, the symbol, the atomic number, the...

Students construct a periodic table based on the physical and chemical properties of elements. In this chemistry lesson, students share their work with the class and explain why they classified the elements that way.

Students research an element from the Periodic Table in groups of two and incorporate several forms of technology. Students must select a form of presentation of their researched information, which is guided by a rubric. Students are...

Students research how neon signs are made and design their own. For this periodic table lesson, students familiarize themselves with the noble gases on the periodic table. They watch a video, research how neon signs are made, and design...

High schoolers research an assigned element using the library, an encyclopedia, the Internet and other appropriate resources in order to write a research paper, a project, and an oral presentation.

Students create videos about an element on the periodic table. For this element lesson, students work with partners to create a 1-2 minute video giving interesting information about their element. They include the name, symbol, atomic...

Learners watch video, The Elements, research information about elements using both the Internet and CD-ROM program, and create atoms out of gumdrops and licorice.

Students listen to a song that teaches the elements of the periodic table and write their own song to be used as an aid in remembering scientific information.

Eighth graders investigate the different elements of the Periodic Table. In this chemistry lesson plan, 8th graders pick an element to research, then present to the class using a powerpoint presentation or a poster.

Students find the average atomic mass of M & M's.  In this chemistry lesson, students are given a sample of the element chocolatium and the atomic mass of each sample.  They then find the average atomic mass.

Fourth graders examine matter and the periodic table of elements. In this matter lesson, 4th graders discuss atoms and their composition. Students explore the periodic table of elements and use it to spell words out of the elements.

Students investigate where a new element would be located on the periodic table. In this isotope lesson plan, students find the mass of a new element, people mass. This number will be entered onto the periodic table of elements as the...

Students create a simple animation illustrating a chemical element in the periodic table. For this chemistry lesson plan, students create a new way to describe elements by using them in an artistic form.

Students prepare an ad for an element, including properties and uses, in an attention getting format such as that used in the advertising business.

Students research the history and uses of the different elements in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the significance of an element's valence electrons. They create a multimedia presentation of an element...
