Time to put the knowledge to the test! Young scholars take what they know about the periodic table and build their own from scratch. Using clues from 26 different elements, they place elements in a blank periodic table. The clues include...

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...

Light a fire in your pupils! Scholars conduct a flame test and observe the emission spectra of several different salts in an enlightening hands-on investigation. They use their observations to make comparisons and conclusions about the...

In this elements instructional activity, high schoolers complete a graphic organizer by comparing the elements' melting point, boiling point, density, and electronic configuration. Students determine the characteristics of Group 7...

In this elements worksheet, students use a data table to graph the elements and their melting points. Students have eight elements to graph.

In this elements learning exercise, learners complete two graphic organizers by comparing the element symbol and melting point for given elements. Then learners plot a graph of their atomic radius against proton number.

For this instructional activity about elements, students review the electron configuration of given elements and then complete the electron diagrams for the transition metal elements. This instructional activity has five problems to solve.

In this elements instructional activity, students complete a graphic organizer comparing lithium, sodium, and potassium observations. Then, they determine how these elements react with water. Students complete three fill-in-the-blank...

No practice problems are given on this handout; it is a detailed list of concepts to know and tips for working related problems in chemistry. Give this to learners as a study guide, or use it early in your career as a chemistry...
