Discover how the periodic table tells the story of its elements. Learners begin by studying the makeup of several mixtures. Their analysis leads to a discussion of elements and the periodic table. As they dig deeper, they understand the...

Add a splash of color to your chemistry class! Science scholars discover the principles behind color through a wide variety of hands-on activities. Lessons include dyes, chromatography, and flame tests.

From molecules to nanotubes, an engaging unit explores the world of tiny science. Fifteen hands-on experiments and lessons engage young scientists as they learn chemistry. Discussions, worksheets, and data analysis reinforce the concepts...

Watch budding chemists interact with the resource on chemical interactions. In the unit, six lessons provide an overview of basic chemistry, from understanding the development of atomic theory to distinguishing between ionic and covalent...

Show your class that trigonometric functions have characteristics of their own. A resource explores the features of trigonometric functions. Learners then connect those concepts to inverse trigonometric functions and trigonometric...

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Students will discuss the de Brogile Hypothesis and state the circumstances under which the wave nature of matter is observed. They will also calculate the wavelengths of matter waves.

A description of the arrangement of elements on The Periodic Table based on electron configuration.

In this tutorial, students will investigate the arrangement of the Periodic Table by watching videos, completing interactive activities, and quizzes.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the history of the periodic table, and explain how the periodic table was originally organized, compared to the arrangement of the modern periodic...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students will begin to explain the use of chemical and physical properties in the historical development of the Periodic Table. They will be...

This learning module allows students to use the organization of the periodic table to understand the element and their properties. By the end of the activity, students will be able to locate metals, nonmetals, and metalloids and the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students will explore how the form of the periodic table is related to electron configurations, which in turn influences chemical reactivity.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate specific properties that can be predicted by an element's position on the periodic table. Additionally, they will look at the formation of ions,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will sse the Periodic Table to identify and explain the properties of chemical families, including alkali metals, alkaline...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes the history of the periodic table, the Dobereiner triads, and the Newland octaves.

Eric Rosado discusses the key people and discoveries having to do with the periodic table that have molded our understanding of chemistry today. [4:19]

This lesson focuses on the periodic table and the configurations. In the modern periodic table, elements are in order of atomic number in periods and groups. Electronic configurations model how electrons are arranged in atoms. A link to...

Elements in the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties. This is because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level. Group 1 elements are reactive metals called the alkali...

The number of protons in the atom of an element determines its place in the Periodic Table. The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons. These electrons are arranged in shells or 'energy levels' around the...

The elements in Group 7 of the Periodic Table are called the halogens. They include chlorine, bromine and iodine. Learn about their properties and uses, then take a quiz.

Learn all about the periodic table in this interactive tutorial.

Video explains why the periodic table devised by Dmitri Mendeleev has endured and how it has predicted the existence of elements. [4:25] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.
