Periodic table of Elements Fully Resourced lesson Plus Dominoes Game KS3
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.

Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

Metals and Non-metals, Properties Classroom, Distance and Blended Learning KS3
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson on the properties of metals and non – metals to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates hybrid learning and provides equality of opportunity for vulnerable students who are unable to attend school due to Covid-19.
The classroom resource consists of an animated 48 slide PowerPoint and 18 varied and exciting printables including a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class.
The distance learning pack consists of a 68 slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. 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.

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.

Metals and Non-metals, Properties Escape Room KS3
Finish and reinforce a middle school lesson on the properties of metals and non – metals or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson.
Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where a squirrel, who was found injured on the school campus, has been accidentally locked in its pet carrier while awaiting transportation to the vet for urgent medical treatment. The combination lock used is one of two bought by the school – one for the stock room and the other for a new escape room lesson being planned by the science department. Both are set to the same combination. The paper on which the combination was written for the escape room lesson has been lost but the department still has copies of
the lesson.

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.

Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

How to Play
Highest score of dice starts
Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares.
Certain squares indicate that the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces.
If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces.
In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet.
