Here is a six-page exploration that will spark interest in the periodic table of elements. After reading a diagram-supported explanation of the periodic table's organization, pupils answer questions to familiarize themselves with it. To...

Because of the work of John Dalton, we are able to write formulas for compounds. The hands-on experiment has scholars prepare a compound from its elements. Using mass data, individuals write the empirical formula for the compound.

For this periodic table worksheet, students complete a chart with the appropriate element symbol, the atomic mass and the atomic number. They classify elements by their groups and as metals, nonmetals or semi-metals. They also answer two...

In this elements worksheet, students review the information that is found on a periodic table including atomic mass, chemical symbol, atomic, number, and electron configuration. This worksheet has 7 fill in the blank questions.

In this chemistry review worksheet, students read about atoms and the periodic table and they complete a chart using the periodic table to find the atomic number, atomic mass and group of given elements. Students answer 5 questions about...

In this periodic table worksheet, students answer 10 questions about the periodic table, the elements in the periodic table, the properties of elements and the atomic number, symbol and name of elements in groups of the periodic table.

In this making molecules worksheet, students complete a table of elements with their symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, number of protons, number of electrons, period and group. Students then make models using pipe cleaners and beads of...

Students investigate the properties of elements and periodicity. In this periodicity lesson plan, students observe a bag of 'elements' which are different fruits and classify them in groups and periods, show the periodic relationships...

The creator of this collection of chemistry slides is clever! Electron configuration is explained as, click-by-click, orbitals are displayed and then each is subsequently filled with the proper amount of electrons. After the progression,...

Students investigate the Periodic Table of Elements. In this chemistry lesson, students use a post of the Periodic Table to identify the mass number, atomic number, and atomic symbol. Students create a Podcast to "advertise" a specific...

Students study polyatomic ions and write binary and ternary ionic chemical formulas. They explore putting together different monatomic ions and coming up with as many chemical formulas as possible. They play a game similar to memory...

Starting with a recap of atomic structure, these slides continue by comparing different isotopes of uranium and explaining which are stable and which have a decay period and emit alpha or beta particles. Gamma decay is just mentioned on...

Students research elements on interactive Internet periodic tables, take notes using Inspiration software, and write descriptive paragraphs with graphics. They create presentations.

In this writing nuclear reactions worksheet, students read about nuclear equations for alpha decay, beta decay and positron emission. They are given the rules for writing nuclear reactions and a sample problem.

Students explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry instructional activity, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an...

For this nuclear power worksheet, students read how atoms can be changes and are unstable. Students compare 3 kinds of radiation and the difference between fission and fusion. Then students complete 10 matching and 2 short answer questions.

In this atom worksheet, high schoolers answer 31 multiple choice questions about the structure of atoms, the periodic table, the reactivity of elements, orbital diagrams and the families of elements.

Students sort a group of manipulatives and then explain their organizational system to the class. They discuss the work of scientists trying to organize the elements into a system that made sense and the development of the periodic table.

Eighth graders investigate objects for a specific element from the Periodic Table.  In this elemental photography lesson, 8th graders observe for and object and photograph it. Students use photographs to prepare a multimedia...

In this periodic table worksheet, students answers 10 fill in the blank questions by reading information form a periodic table. Then also complete Bohr Models of the atoms of 12 different elements.

In this atoms activity, students answer four different sets of questions related to atoms (fill in the blank, multiple choice, word puzzle and true and false).

Students apply the principles of chemistry to investigate the concept of how a hydrogen powered car works. They study the electrochemical reactions that provide the energy source. Students also record observations in the functioning of a...

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will be asked to define atomic number, mass number and understand how isotopes differ from one another. They will be able...
