Are you looking to put the fun back in the fundamentals of chemistry? Why not have groups create their own periodic tables of something (animals, food, music groups, etc.) practicing the organizational strategies used in the periodic...

Although the directions say to view a PowerPoint, it is not necessary in order to complete this assignment. Six fill in the blank questions survey the periodic table of elements. A chart follows in which, given the element symbol, young...

Food always gets attention! Model atomic structure using fruit loops to represent the subatomic particles. After building models, scholars create ionic bonds using their models. Finally, they use these concepts to create a periodic...

Guide your chemistry class through the periodic table so that they are able to identify atomic radii, electronegativity, and ionization energy. Give them three metals to place in water to observe reactivity. Teach them to write electron...

When physical science classes are becoming familiar with the periodic table of elements, you can use this set of printable cards to help them memorize some of the members of the metals, metalloids, and nonmetals groups. There are 24...

Students examine the periodic table and how it was developed.  In this chemistry lesson students identify common properties and uses of elements within a family. 

In this periodic table worksheet, students fill in missing information such as atomic number, atomic mass, family name, etc. using the periodic table as their reference.

In this chemistry worksheet, students fill in the correct elements with the help of the 25 questions. The end result is supposed to be a filled in and complete periodic table of elements.

Middle schoolers are introduced to the concept of species habitats and ranges. They introduced to ArcView GIS as a tool for mapping. Pupils use query data for species withina county, elevation, range, rivers and streams, land cover, and...

Young scientists construct an understanding of molecular compounds in this hands-on science lesson. Using LEGO® to model the atoms of different elements, students build molecules based on the chemical formulas of common compounds.

An engaging activity enlightens young chemists in this instructional activity on atomic structure. They play musical chairs through a series of concentric circles that represent electon orbitals. A laundry basket in the middle holds the...

Young scientists investigate the water cycle through a lettuce seed experiment. For this experiment, learners plant lettuce seeds inside of a ziplock bag in order to create a small greenhouse. They observe condensation and precipitation,...

This well-organized lab activity introduces earth science pupils to the greenhouse effect. They will set up two experiments to monitor temperatures in an open jar, a closed jar, and a closed jar containing water. Ideally, you would have...

In this thermochemistry worksheet, students indicate whether the given processes are endothermic or exothermic reactions. Students complete the phase change diagram as well as define a given set of vocabulary words. Students calculate...

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 periodic table worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 19 clues about elements, symbols, properties of elements, atomic number and atomic masses of elements.

For this periodic table worksheet, students are given 12 terms and must match the terms to their appropriate definition. Topics include types of bonds, types of elements, and types of ions.

In this periodic trends activity, students solve ten problems related to elements in the periodic table. Students write electron configurations for atoms and they compare elements and their periodic trends.

Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...

Don't overreact! A simple experiment demonstrates chemical reactions as scholars mix chemical solutions and metals in a large well plate. They note all changes to the metals, solutions, precipitate, colors, and more. A full data table...

Students are introduced to the periodic table. They find the common trends among the electron configurations and the names of certain groups of the table. Students explore the atomic mass, atomic number, mass number, mass and charge...

Eighth graders explore information about the periodic table of elements. Using the Internet, 8th graders choose one element to research. They complete an "Adopt and Element" information sheet. Using Microsoft Word, students create an...

In this structure of medical terminology activity, students read about Latin and Greek roots and match nine medical terms to their definitions using a table of defined prefixes, roots and suffixes.

Young scholars explore the rationale behind the arrangement of the elements on the Periodic Table. Using internet and traditional research, students compare and contrast the properties of elements on the periodic table to determine a...
