Fifth graders relate the elements in the human body to those produced during a supernova. In this space science and chemistry lesson, 5th graders listen to a lecture and view visuals about the big bang. They relate the production of...

In this periodic table worksheet, high schoolers make their own periodic table using 12 given elements and their properties. Students use these elements to arrange them into the proper periods and families based on their properties.

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...

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

Eighth graders read and interpret the Periodic Table. They also make decisions on how to group and arrange different kinds of matter and draw the structure of atoms of pure elements. Finally, 8th graders contrast and compare basic...

Eighth graders draw the structure of an atom. They construct atomic models, list parts/locations of an atom, organize parts of the periodic table and write a descriptive report about an element.

In this chemistry worksheet, students answer 24 questions related to properties of halogens. They fill in the table with the correct answers and participate in teacher demo.

In this atom worksheet, students read about the parts of the atom and how atoms combine into molecules and compounds. Students learn how to read a periodic table. This worksheet has 20 fill in the blank and 10 matching questions.

In this elements worksheet, students write in the symbol of the chemical element that matches its description. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank questions.

Students investigate the Periodic Table of Elements. The teacher is provided with the necessary background information to complete the instructional activity. Students practice matching the element symbol to its place on the chart.

High schoolers investigate the characteristics of alkaline earth metals. In this alkaline earth metals lesson plan, students experiment with a variety of alkaline earth metal compounds and perform tests to observe their properties. High...

Fifth graders explore the differences between elements.  In this elements and atoms lesson students complete an activity that shows how chemicals react to a flame test. 

In this periodic table activity, high schoolers will label the atomic number, atomic mass, element name, and element symbol for oxygen. Then students will determine the characteristics of the different groups of elements on the periodic...

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.

In this periodic table activity, students use the data chart and the periodic table to solve questions about body chemistry.

Students are introduced to the periodic table of elements. They devise and perform and experiment in which they determine the density of specific elements. They use their results to predict the density of other elements in the same group.

Students research certain elements and then analyze their potential bonds with other elements in a dating game where the dating pool is comprised of the elements featured on the Periodic Table.

Young scholars find the average atomic mass of M & M's.  In this chemistry lesson, students are given a sample of the element chocolatium and the atomic mass of each sample.  They then find the average atomic mass.

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,...

Molecules to the Max! refers to a movie released in 2009 about the world of atoms and molecules. A helpful discovery guide provides five posters on science topics typically covered at the middle school level. It also explains the...

High schoolers review how physical and chemical change while discussing the properties. They diagram the electron dot for the first four elements in the periodic table. Students identify elements and state what they know while...

For this periodic table worksheet, learners explain the pattern that is illustrated in the 6 different diagrams. There can be more than one pattern in a diagram.

Students review periodic table of elements, choose one element, and create piece of poetry about it using Cinquain, Haiku, or Acrostic format. Students then read aloud their poems to classmates.

In this chemical elements: teacher story worksheet, students use the periodic table to write down the name and symbol of the first 10 elements. Students then complete a story by filling in the blanks with the names of the elements of the...
