Element Research Project

In this chemistry worksheet, students examine the periodic table and how it is used in the context of interpreting compounds and their structure.

Colored boxes with white font present the basic periodic table of elements to your young chemists. All of the basics are included: chemical name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and the number of electrons in each orbital. A brief...

An attractive handout displays the periodic table of elements in full color. Each group has its own color, and each element is represented by its name, chemical symbol, atomic number, and atomic weight. What makes this periodic table...

Although the directions say to view a PowerPoint, it is not necessary in order to complete this assignment. Six fill in the blank questions survey the periodic table of elements. A chart follows in which, given the element symbol, young...

Compliment your lesson with this periodic table presentation. The slides are clear summarizing the origins and main details of the periodic table very nicely.  The overall appearance, images, and bullet points are logical and some...

Beginning Boyles and curious Curies can safely experiment with the virtual mixing of elements using this entertaining application. 

Nothing says organization quite like a table. The third lesson in a six-part Mixtures and Solutions unit teaches young scientists about elements and the periodic table. They learn how the periodic table is organized and about the...

A hydrogen-filled balloon being ignited introduces us to the simplest of atoms. This is one of many element videos produced by the University of Nottingham. They are suitable to be shown in class to upper level chemists, but it would be...

Nitrogen exists as a gas at earth's normal temperatures. In this video, explosive experiments are performed with liquid nitrogen. One way you could use these is to assign each student a different element to research and present to the...
