The health effects of mercury exposure if the focus of the first of three activities about the properties of metals. Pairs research mercury to write, prepare, and share posters, articles, or PSAs with the class. 

In this periodic table activity, 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 elements learning exercise, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in the correct symbol for the 12 elements given.

In this periodic table worksheet, students review the elements and how they are organized in the periodic table. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank, 6 multiple choice, and 5 short answer questions.

For this chemistry worksheet, learners use the Internet to research the elements in the Periodic Table to locate the number of proton, neutrons, and electrons. They also draw pictures that illustrate one or more uses for their elements.

For this elements worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by comparing the elements' melting point, boiling point, density, and electronic configuration. Students determine the characteristics of Group 7 elements. This worksheet...

Don't be fooled by the title; this is not really a lesson on elements. It is a project on classification, using the periodic table as an example. For that reason, it could be used in any branch of science. As an example, a group may...

Using a copy of the periodic table, chemistry test takers fill in a chart with element name, chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and numbers of subatomic particles. They define subatomic particles, draw atom models, explain...

Chemistry classes will appreciate this color-coded, single-page reference sheet for The Standard Model of particle physics. It is divided into two main sections: elementary particles and compound particles, both with their antiparticles....

Wheel the resource right into your classroom. Young mathematicians use given dimensions of a Ferris wheel to write a height versus time function. They use their functions to answer a set of questions about the Ferris wheel.

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...

In this science quiz:  chemical elements worksheet, students name the correct symbol for the first 110 chemical elements in the periodic table,  with the answers given at the bottom of the page.

Eighth graders examine the Periodic Table. In this science lesson plan, 8th graders categorize a group of shells and unknown elements using different characteristics as they read and interpret the Periodic Table.

Middle schoolers experiment with transition metals.  In this transition metals lesson students find the common properties of transition metals and conduct an experiment using one of them.  Middle schoolers then answer questions...

In this chemistry worksheet, students use their imagination and the elements in the Periodic Table to solve each of the puns listed on the sheet. Then they create some of their own and write them on the back.

Fifth graders perform experiments to determine the identity of an unknown gas sample. In this chemistry lesson, 5th graders fill balloons with air, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. They use mass and reactivity to identify the gases.

Fifth graders study the properties of metals and use them to identify different properties.  In this metal properties lesson students complete a demonstration .

If most gases are invisible, how do we know so much about them? Pupils practice associating the name, formula, testing method, and outcome for four common gases using an interactive. Users build on the content of their first puzzles to...

Pupils gain a perspective in the development of chemistry. They understand some of the topics in their text and the ongoing nature of research. They then will be able to see the trends of the periodic table first hand through their own...

In this chemistry worksheet, students identify various puns to assist them in memorizing the numerous elements of the Periodic Table and their symbols. There are 44 to memorize on the sheet.

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 explain what makes up matter.  In this atoms lesson students define an atom and what its components are and identify properties of elements. 

Students review atomic structure and then participate in a activity in which they categorize several "elements" into some form of order based on their properties. They discuss the trends they see. They also practice several electron...

In this periodic table worksheet, learners use the list of coded letters and clues that correspond to the represented elements in the first four periods of the periodic table to complete the chart at the bottom of the sheet. They...
