Worksheet: Understanding the Periodic Table
This worksheet consists of three activities. The first activity allows students to consolidate their understanding of the Periodic Table by using the word bank to complete the blanks in a comprehension task. The second activity asks students to identify the properties of metals and nonmetals, and the third activity involves students labeling the information found on an element’s symbol in the Periodic Table.
Worksheet: Elements from the Periodic Table Word Search
This activity requires students to find elements from the periodic table in the word search puzzle. A template is also included, allowing students to create their own elements from the periodic table word search puzzle.
Relevant topics include chemistry, atomic structure and the periodic table, properties of metals and non-metals, periodic trends, making predictions about elements.
Suitable for IB, GCSE, IGCSE, MYP, KS3 and middle school science/chemistry.
