Rings and golden nuggets contain the element gold, but how small can you break it down before it is no longer considered gold? A helpful presentation explains the basics about atoms, elements, and isotopes through a presentation.

How do scientists identify which elements originate from meteorites? Scholars learn about a sample of material found in a remote location, analyzing the sample to determine if it might be from Earth or not. They study elements, isotopes,...

A color-coded periodic table identifies organic elements, major minerals, and trace elements. Oxidation states are highlighted and types of chemical bonding are annotated. The electron energy level chart is explained. Though not all of...

In this periodic table worksheet, learners complete a crossword puzzle given 22 clues about elements in the periodic table, periodic law, properties of elements and atomic mass and number. Students also fill in a periodic table to...

In this periodic table worksheet, young scholars 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...

In this trends in the periodic table worksheet, students plot the ionization energy vs. atomic number and they plot atomic radius vs. atomic number of the first 20 elements. Students analyze their graphs and answer questions about the...

In this electron configuration and the periodic table worksheet, students are given a periodic table with each element. Students write the theoretical electron configuration for each element based on the rules for filling subshells with...

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.

In this elements, worksheet, students use the periodical table to determine the origin of the element names such as elements named after countries, people, colors and towns. This worksheet has 71 fill in the blank questions and 1 short...

It's electronic! Pupils uncover elements and their electron configurations as they explore mass, groupings, correct charges, and sliding theory. Young scientists learn creative ways to remember various elements and correctly...

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...

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

Many periodic tables mention specific heat, but how do scientists determine those numbers? Scholars attempt to find the specific heat of a metallic element by using a calorimeter. Three experimental trials ensure accuracy, and analysis...

This is a tremendous overview of the tiny atom. Journey through the history of human understanding of this basic building block of matter. Examine each of the sub-atomic particles in detail: neutrons, protons, electrons, quarks. Peruse...

A really good activity on the periodic table of the elements is here for you. Learners must color in the elements listed in the activity that are needed to make a light bulb. They then answer questions about each of the elements.

What a cute approach to chemical bonding! Atoms all have human names and are attending at a dance. Who will pair up with whom? By reading the characteristics, and not the element name, chemistry whizzes figure out the bonding pairs....

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

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...

In 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...

Young scholars construct a periodic table using felt strips as elements by arranging elements based on their characteristics. In this periodic table lesson plan, students place colored strips of paper that represent elements in the...

Ninth graders examine the Periodic Table. In this element lesson, 9th graders observe the chemical reactivity of elements. They graph the properties and discuss the trend in the group and period of elements. The students use math to...

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