A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on the periodic table of elements for middle school plus an enjoyable yet challenging dominoes game which students can either match or answer the question. 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 into 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. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same. 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, these are harder than group 1 metals; have high melting points; react slowly with atmospheric oxygen.
