Teaching those first chemistry lessons to 5th or 6th graders may seem overwhelming. Find creative ways to teach it with this collection of free periodic table learning resources.
An element is a chemical made of a single type of atom. The periodic table is a list of chemical elements, listed by the number of protons in each atom.
A Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev first drafted the periodic table in 1869. Consequently, the table is grouped by columns and each group has different properties.
Learning about the periodic table and the elements can be tedious and confusing. Of course, children learn in different ways and some may need extra support.
Additionally, one method challenges students to categorize the periodic table into specific groups. They can memorize the elements in one group at a time, using printable cards for drills.
The sketch-notes printable offers the entire periodic table with blanks to fill in specific answers. Your student can color in the various groups with a color key of their choice.
Therefore, you can start a unit study and lapbook for children nine years and older. There are 17 printable pages for separating the elements into groups and arranging your lapbook.
