The Periodic Table of the Elements

The Periodic Table of the Elements

Editor's Notes

  • #2 This lesson will require that students have access to a variety of colored pencils. Specifically: red, orange, yellow, light green, dark green, light blue, dark blue, purple, link & gray/black.
  • #3 Hand out a copy of the Periodic Table of the Elements to each student.
  • #4 This Video introduces the elements on the Periodic Table with a song. Afterwards, explain that it is not as complicated as it seems and that the class will search the table for patterns. Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFIvXVMbII0
  • #5 Introduce the alkali metals and have the students color them YELLOW. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade.
  • #6 Explain that they are YELLOW because they are very reactive/explosive. Image from: http://www.horizonservicesinc.com/blog-posts/heating-services/7-things-in-your-house-that-could-explode
  • #7 Alkali metals react with oxygen and water vapor in the air, as well as violently with water. They release heat and hydrogen gas when they react with water. They are soft enough to be cut by knives. ASK: Which elements reacted fastest/most violently? Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uixxJtJPVXk
  • #8 This video emphasizes the explosive power of alkali metals. Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m55kgyApYrY
  • #9 Introduce the alkaline earth metals and have the students color them ORANGE. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade.
  • #10 Explain that they are ORANGE because they are also very reactive/explosive, but not nearly as powerful as the alkali metals. Image from: http://aliagroup.com.au/blog/
  • #11 They also react with water, but less violently. ASK: Which elements react fastest? Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2ZPrg9IVEo
  • #12 Introduce the transition metals and have the students color them RED. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade.
  • #13 Explain that they are RED because hot metals glow red. Original image from: http://www.loupiote.com/photos/26781770.shtml
  • #14 Some properties of transition metals include conducting heat & electricity & magnetic fields, ductility, malleability, forming colorful compounds, high density, high melting point, having a metallic sound, luster & are solid at room temperature (except Hg). ASK: What are some properties of transition metals? Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwd4qsmUxwM
  • #15 Introduce the lanthanide metals and have the students color them LIGHT GREEN. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade
  • #16 Explain that they are LIGHT GREEN because they are called rare earth elements (along with the lanthanides). Image from: http://www.4shared.com/all-images/czFWU95A/Shutterstock_copyright.html?locale=tr
  • #17 Lanthanides are luminescent – they glow under a black light. Image from: http://www.cchem.berkeley.edu/knrgrp/ln.html Image from: http://www.4shared.com/all-images/czFWU95A/Shutterstock_copyright.html?locale=tr
  • #18 Lanthanides are generally silvery-white and tarnish in air, have high melting/boiling points, reactive, luminescent (previous slide) & decrease in size moving right on the table. Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFmAhhiam9g
  • #19 Introduce the actinide metals and have the students color them DARK ORANGE. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade.
  • #20 Explain that they are DARK GREEN because they are called rare Earth elements (along with the lanthanides). Image from: http://www.4shared.com/all-images/czFWU95A/Shutterstock_copyright.html?locale=tr
  • #21 Actinides are radioactive, Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a2JJWcqWm4
  • #22 Introduce the other metals and have the students color them PINK because it is not a transition metal, but “an other metal”. Significant difference from transition metals are valence electrons are in outer shell and only one oxidation state each.
  • #23 Explain that they are PINK because it is not a transition metal, but “an other metal”. Significant difference from transition metals are valence electrons are in outer shell and only one oxidation state each. Image from: http://gracefulwalrus.deviantart.com/art/Red-vs-Pink-But-which-one-is-real-471967599
  • #24 The main difference in properties between the transition metals and other metals are that with the other metals the valence electrons are in outer shell and only one oxidation state each. Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5TNB3Qb008
  • #25 Introduce the non-metals and have the students color them LIGHT BLUE. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade. NOTE: Halogens and noble gases are also non-metals, but they also form more specialized groups.
  • #26 Explain that they are LIGHT BLUE because Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide make up most of the air in the sky. NOTE: Halogens and noble gases are also non-metals, but they also form more specialized groups.

  • #27 Non-metals are dull, brittle, poor conductors of heat & electricity, have low density and many are liquids/gases at room temperature ASK how do non-metals compare to metals? Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q1OW8vJ3wA
  • #28 Introduce the halogens and have the students color them DARK BLUE. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade.
  • #29 Explain that they are DARK BLUE like a swimming pool because Chlorine and Bromine are used to clean. Image from: https://theparisdream.wordpress.com/2014/07/10/rws-equarius-hotel-siloso-beach/
  • #30 Halogens are liquids/gases at room temperatures and form diatomic molecules, they are very reactive. Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ogMUDBaf4
  • #31 Halogens are liquids/gases at room temperatures and form diatomic molecules, they are very reactive. Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyP8zhS9c5c
  • #32 Introduce the noble gases and have the students color them GRAY. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade.
  • #33 Explain that they are GRAY because they are unreactive and boring. Image from: http://www.itvscience.com/noble-gas/
  • #34 Nobles gases are very unreactive and gases at room temperature. Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLrofyj6a2s
  • #35 Introduce the semimetals and have the students color them PURPLE. Make sure that they are using the correct color/shade.
  • #36 Explain that they are PURPLE because it has properties of both metals and non-metals.
  • #37 Often make good semiconductors. NOTE: this video places Carbon as a metalloid. This is a good opportunity to discuss that some often scientists try to separate a range into distinct categories and that scientists do not always agree.

  • #38 This is video quickly introduces each element and gives a visual. Video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUDDiWtFtEM
