KS3 Periodic table - Revision placemat

A revision placemat designed for a higher ability year 7 class based on using and interpreting periodic tables.
It could be used for a lower ability KS4 class.
The resource contains two different versions, a ‘challenge’ sheet and a ‘support’ sheet. There are only slight differences between the two. These words can be removed if you do not wish the student to know which sheet they are receiving.

The placemat contains:

• Identifying the key groups in the periodic table (e.g. alkali metals, halogens, noble gases, transition metals)
• Identifying groups and periods in the periodic table
• Using the periodic table to find an element’s chemical symbol, mass number and atomic number
• Defining key terms that describe an element’s property, e.g. conductive, malleable, brittle
• The organisation of the periodic table
• Using an element’s melting point and boiling point to determine its state at room temperature
• History of the periodic table (Newlands and Mendeleev)
