Pupils create trading cards for elements in the Periodic Table. Initially, they are introduced to the Periodic Table of Elements and the concept of elements in the world around us. After dividing into groups, learners use the Visual...

High schoolers explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an element they...

Student teams use a digital camcorder and iMovie to create a commercial about an element. They also use the Internet and their textbook to gather the following information about their element: the name, the symbol, the atomic number, the...

Students investigate the Periodic Table of Elements. In this chemistry lesson, students use a post of the Periodic Table to identify the mass number, atomic number, and atomic symbol. Students create a Podcast to "advertise" a specific...

Students are able to discuss the difference between a proton, a neutron and an electron. They also can explain the difference between an ionic and a covalent bond. Students know the main structure of atoms and molecules. Student are able...

Eighth graders investigate the different elements of the Periodic Table. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders pick an element to research, then present to the class using a powerpoint presentation or a poster.

Students create a periodic table of elements. In this chemistry activity, students work together to build all of the different elements into a complete mini periodic table. They identify similarity and difference of the elements.

Students listen to a song that teaches the elements of the periodic table and write their own song to be used as an aid in remembering scientific information.

Young scholars research an element from the Periodic Table in groups of two and incorporate several forms of technology. Students must select a form of presentation of their researched information, which is guided by a rubric. Young...

Learners research an assigned element using the library, an encyclopedia, the Internet and other appropriate resources in order to write a research paper, a project, and an oral presentation.

Students create videos about an element on the periodic table. In this element lesson, students work with partners to create a 1-2 minute video giving interesting information about their element. They include the name, symbol, atomic...

Students become familiar with periodic table of elements and recognize elements as basic structural units for familiar materials. Students then create cards with descriptions and uses for their selected elements, and identify and...

Students research how neon signs are made and design their own. In this periodic table activity, students familiarize themselves with the noble gases on the periodic table. They watch a video, research how neon signs are made, and design...

High schoolers construct a periodic table based on the physical and chemical properties of elements. In this chemistry instructional activity, students share their work with the class and explain why they classified the elements that way.

Students watch video, The Elements, research information about elements using both the Internet and CD-ROM program, and create atoms out of gumdrops and licorice.

High schoolers 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.

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.

Fourth graders examine matter and the periodic table of elements. In this matter lesson, 4th graders discuss atoms and their composition. Students explore the periodic table of elements and use it to spell words out of the elements.

Young scholars investigate where a new element would be located on the periodic table. For this isotope lesson, students find the mass of a new element, people mass. This number will be entered onto the periodic table of elements as the...

Students create a simple animation illustrating a chemical element in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson plan, students create a new way to describe elements by using them in an artistic form.

Students identify the different elements that belong to the Noble Gas family. For this chemistry lesson, students design a neon sign. They research how they are made and share their work with the class.
