Introduction to the Periodic Table Lesson GCSE Chemistry AQA 9-1 (Spec 1.2.1) Identify the different areas of the periodic table. Explain how the position of an element in the periodic table is related to its electronic structure and therefore its atomic (proton) number. Predict element reactivity trends and possible reactions of elements from their positions in the periodic table. This resource is a PowerPoint presentation to support teaching about the periodic table for the first time. By the end of the lesson, students should understand what the periodic table is and describe the features of some groups. Prior knowledge on electronic structure is required. Included in the resource: Opening slide with title, keywords, learning objectives and lead on topics Starter slide with simple intro task Information slides on areas of the periodic table, groups and periods etc. Question slides on predicting properties of elements and a student handout worksheet on labeling the periodic table Plenary question slide to consolidate learning All ANSWERS included and the resource is completely EDITABLE.
