Learners study trends in the periodic table of elements, supplemented by the use of spreadsheet functions. The spreadsheet functions presented can be used on any data set.

Six middle school chemistry lessons about the periodic table and bonding complete with handouts and animations.

A lesson plan where students examine the trends in the periodic table.

The purpose of the project is to help the students gain an in depth knowledge of the Periodic Table of Elements. The periodic table is the very backbone of chemistry. In order for the students to be successful in chemistry, they must be...

Students will use "element" cards to organize into a periodic table, using the symbols on the card.

This instructor led activity will produce a partially filled periodic table that contains electron-dot models for the first twenty elements in the appropriate boxes. It will be used as a visual tool for students to connect concepts such...

For this activity, young scholars investigate a puzzle. They are given a set of cards with various properties. Each card has anywhere from 2 to 6 different properties depending on the level of the students and each set of cards has one...

In this lab activity, young scholars will be asked to observe and then test the physical and chemical properties of several different elements.

Students build atoms of elements 1-20. The entire set can be hung from the ceiling in order of the Periodic Table to be referred to throughout the Chemistry class/unit. This is helpful when teaching bonding and patterns of the Periodic...

As part of the introduction to the Periodic Table of the Elements, students will be introduced to the idea of atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions.

This instructional activity explores the various uses of elements in the periodic table. Students will be assigned an element to research. They will then present its uses and atomic information to the class.

Young scholars observe and perform experiments with sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur ,and phosphorus. The discover trends down groups, across periods, and having to do with the pH of metal oxides vs. nonmetal oxides.

What do you know about salt? In this chemistry lesson, students will learn different things about salt: the chemical name, it's periodic table number, it's shape under the microscope, how it dissolves in water, and how to make a mixture...

In this activity, students use a map of electron configuration and bingo chips to configure electrons for elements that are given on a problem card. Students will see patterns of elements and their valence electrons in relation to the...

Learners investigate several properties of the given elements and decide whether each element is a metal, non-metal, or a metalloid.
