The author-narrator refers to the periodic table of elements as a "massive slab of human genius," then goes on to explain Mendeleev's development of this foundational chemistry tool. Why was his version so much better than others that...

Can you name the man who created the periodic table, committed bigamy, and literally defined Russian vodka? Dmitri Mendeleev did all of these things. The video takes a balanced look at his work and his life. 

In this periodic table worksheet, students learn how Mendeleev organized elements by their atomic weight and grouped elements with the same properties. Students compare Mendeleev's periodic table with the modern periodic table. This...

Did you know that the first time someone isolated a pure element was when Henning Brand boiled down his own urine in 1669 and unknowingly discovered phosphorus? The history of our current periodic table of elements is entertainingly...

First graders discuss, at their level, the concept of elements making up all matter. They discover the story of Dimitri Mendeleev and his discovery of the Periodic Table of the Elements. They locate and color some of the most common...

I don't trust atoms because they make up everything. Budding scientists learn about famous scientists connected to atomic models, chemical, ionic, and hydrogen bonds. The presentation also presents how to count atoms in an equation,...

Students sort a group of manipulatives and then explain their organizational system to the class. They discuss the work of scientists trying to organize the elements into a system that made sense and the development of the periodic table.

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 nice...

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...

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.

In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a paragraph containing facts about the periodic table by filling in 18 terms from a word list.

Fifth graders access an Interent site to review the Periodic Table. They identify patterns and draw conclusions about the organization of the periodic table. They complete a teacher created chart using the Periodic Table.

Turn pennies into gold with a set of chemistry lessons designed for middle schoolers. As they study ionic and covalent bonds, different elements from the periodic table, and the structure of an atom, young chemists perform hands-on...

For this periodic table worksheet, students characterize elements according to their group in the periodic table. This worksheet has 26 matching and 13 multiple choice questions.

In this elements worksheet, learners review the characteristics of elements and the periodic table. This worksheet has 2 different versions, one with 20 multiple choice questions and answers and the other has 17 multiple choice questions...

Students examine how elements in the periodic table are arranged. For this chemistry lesson, students predict element properties using periodic trends. They explain the uses of different elements.

Students create a periodic table of elements. In this chemistry lesson, 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.

Students create products from studying about matter that include: Make a "T" chart with matter and non matter items. Write a poem, song, or rap about matter. Five vocabulary words from the chapter must be included in the poem.

Fifth graders investigate the nature of matter and of the scientific processes associated with them in this series of lessons.
