This App provides students with a graphical representation of the elements of the Periodic Table. Information includes 15 properties and facts about the 109 known elements. Students get to explore graphs of the periodic nature of the...

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...

This lesson focuses on atoms and elements including what they are, the chemical symbols for elements, and the placement of elements on the periodic table. A link to a test is provided.

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.

A giant sized table made of wood houses a large collection of minerals from the periodic table. Click on any wooden tile to discover what the element looks like and details about its atomic structure and uses. The author even tells you...
