These notes go over the patterns and properties of the periodic table. Topics covered include: organization of the periodic table into group/families and periods, metals, metalloids, nonmetals, valence electrons (general), periodic law, and names...

Students identify the various sections and groups/families of the periodic table by recognizing them, coloring a periodic table, defining chemical and physical properties, and matching properties with thee sections and group/families. A teacher key is...

This activity can be done as individual work or in partnerships (groups if needed). Students will need internet for a couple of the clues but one or two computers/handheld devices is likely enough for a class of students.Students identify 20 elements on...

The physical properties of a substance such as appearance, melting point, solubility in water, and conductivity of a dissolved solution tell us a lot about the type of particles in a compound. In this experiment, students will conduct tests on the...

This classwork / homework focuses on: properties of ionic and covalent bonds, number of valence electrons, cations vs anions, symbols for ions, distinguishing between ionic and covalent bonds, naming and writing symbols for oxyanions,...

These fill-in-the-blank style notes explain why atoms form bonds and how to determine the type of bond they will form using the periodic table. There is a focus on ionic bonding with monoatomic and polyatomic ions. A surface explanation of covalent bonds...

In this project students work alone or in partnerships to investigate one of the scientists crucial to the development of our understanding of the atom. They also investigate other happenings during the same period in other fields of their choice...

This hands-on activity has students try to describe the shape and location of an object by rolling marbles under a cardboard table under which the object is hidden. I hope you are able to use this product for the betterment of your students and it makes...
