High schoolers examine the periodic table and how it was developed.  In this chemistry activity students identify common properties and uses of elements within a family. 

Learners 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. Learners are...

High schoolers investigate the origin of the modern periodic table of elements, and explore an interactive version that teaches them how to extract information from it.

In this periodic table learning exercise, students explain the pattern that is illustrated in the 6 different diagrams. There can be more than one pattern in a diagram.

When breaking down the details of the periodic table of elements, this presentation will explain special characteristics for each of the noble gases. The annotations are quite elementary, so this can easily be used in an introductory...

In this chemistry worksheet, students select the answers to 32 fill in the blank questions from the word list provided. They identify the physical and chemical characteristics of halogens.

Thorough explanations of the trends in the periodic table of elements make up the majority of this handout. Atomic and ionic size, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity are presented before giving chemistry...

Students investigate the properties of oxides and observe their periodic trends. In this behavior of oxides lesson plan, students experiment with metallic oxides and non-metallic oxides to determine if they are acid, basic or amphoteric...

Students review how physical and chemical change while discussing the properties. They diagram the electron dot for the first four elements in the periodic table. Students identify elements and state what they know while investigating...

Students study the periodic table and the elements.  In this chemistry lesson students complete a group lab activity and relate it to the periodic table. 

The periodic table can be a little overwhelming to young scientists. Meet your class' worries head on by introducing the table in a game. Individuals test their knowledge of the names and symbols of common elements, then use deductive...

What a cute approach to chemical bonding! Atoms all have human names and are attending at a dance. Who will pair up with whom? By reading the characteristics, and not the element name, chemistry whizzes figure out the bonding pairs....

Students explore the rationale behind the arrangement of the elements on the Periodic Table. Using internet and traditional research, students compare and contrast the properties of elements on the periodic table to determine a...

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 answer 10 questions about the periodic table, the elements in the periodic table, the properties of elements and the atomic number, symbol and name of elements in groups of the periodic table.

Learners construct a periodic table using felt strips as elements by arranging elements based on their characteristics. In this periodic table lesson plan, students place colored strips of paper that represent elements in the proper...

Students research certain elements and then analyze their potential bonds with other elements in a dating game where the dating pool is comprised of the elements featured on the Periodic Table.

Sixth graders participate in a Web Quest in order to examine the periodic table of elements. After collecting information about an element of their choice, they share with group members what they have learned. Groups create class...

Learners 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.

When given too much data to simply memorize, it helps to sort it into manageable groups. The second activity in the six-part series of Cosmic Chemistry challenges groups of pupils to take a large amount of data and figure out how to best...

If you need a straightforward and comprehensive organic chemistry exam, check this one out. Chemistry pupils identify functional groups in molecule diagrams, draw a Lewis structure, fill in a table about molecular shape, predict boiling...

In this periodic table worksheet, students identify the different properties of group 1 elements in order to match the given words with the appropriate question.

You can detail the important terms in element classification through this useful resource. This presentation describes individual elements, and details characteristics, and general facts that can make them easier to group.

The University of the State of New York has designed a series of exams to be given to high schoolers. This chemistry exam is one of the most comprehensive and well-written that you will ever find. It consists of 84 questions in a variety...
