Periodic Table of Elements Explained Fully Resourced Lesson for KS3
A fully resourced, engaging, comprehensive and enjoyable lesson explaining the periodic table of elements.
What’s Covered
Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of atomic number.
Metals are on the left of the table and non – metals on the right with a zig – zag line dividing the two.
Some of the metals touching the zig – zag are semi – metals or metalloids which means they have some properties of metals and of non – metals.
Vertical columns are called groups and horizontal rows are called periods.
Each period starts with metals on the left and end with non – metals on the right.
The elements within each group have similar physical and chemical properties.
Group 1 are the alkali metals. Group 2 are the alkaline earth metals. Group 7 are the halogens. Group 0 are the rare or noble gases. The central block are the transition metals.
On the left – hand side of the table, reactivity increases as you go down a group and on the right – hand side of the table reactivity increases as you go up a group.
Group 1: can be cut with a knife; must be stored under oil; low density – lithium, sodium and potassium float on water; form compounds which are solid at room temperature; form compounds with similar formulae – LiCl. NaCl. Group 7;are all colored; react with hydrogen to form acids; react with metals to form salts.
Alkali metal + water alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen
lithium + water lithium hydroxide + hydrogen
Group 0 are all inert gases – they do not react with other elements
Transition metals; except for mercury, which is a liquid, are harder than group 1 metals; have high melting points; react slowly with atmospheric oxygen.

Periodic Table of Elements Find the Pair Game KS3
An engaging and enjoyable memory game on the periodic table of elements for middle school to reinforce learning at the end of a module or for test prep.
How to Play
Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
The game can be played with or without students being given a copy of the enclosed periodic table.
Included in this Pack

Additional worksheets, guided notes, cut-outs, foldables, fact sheet and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of the PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers.
What’s Covered
Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators
Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not
Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull
Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not.
Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck.
Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic.
Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy.
Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid.
Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide.
Metal oxides are alkaline and non -metal oxides are acidic

Periodic Table of Elements Wilcard and Snap Card Games KS3
A great way to consolidate learning on the periodic table of elements for middle school students with this pack of cards which can be used to play two games – wildcard and snap. So much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning!
The game can be played with or without the students being given a copy of the enclosed periodic table.
Prior Knowledge Required
Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of atomic number.
Metals are on the left of the table and non – metals on the right with a zig – zag line dividing the two.
Some of the metals touching the zig – zag are semi – metals or metalloids which means they have some properties of metals and of non – metals.
Vertical columns are called groups and horizontal rows are called periods.
Each period starts with metals on the left and end with non – metals on the right.
The elements within each group have similar physical and chemical properties.
Group 1 are the alkali metals. Group 2 are the alkaline earth metals. Group 7 are the halogens. Group 0 are the rare or noble gases. The central block are the transition metals.
On the left – hand side of the table, reactivity increases as you go down a group and on the right – hand side of the table reactivity increases as you go up a group.
Group 1: can be cut with a knife; must be stored under oil; low density – lithium, sodium and potassium float on water; form compounds which are solid at room temperature; form compounds with similar formulae – LiCl. NaCl. Group 7; are all colored; react with hydrogen to form acids; react with metals to form salts.
Alkali metal + water alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen
lithium + water lithium hydroxide + hydrogen
Group 0 are all inert gases – they do not react with other elements
Transition metals; except for mercury, which is a liquid, these are harder than group 1 metals; have high melting points; react slowly with atmospheric oxygen.

Periodic Table of Elements Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Wilcard and Snap Card Games
A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the periodic table of elements for middle school plus a pack of cards for enjoyable and challenging games of wildcard or snap.
The teaching pack contains eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built i to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made.
The game is closely related to the topic content and can be used to reinforce learning or for test prep.
