Through microscale qualitative tests, students will learn the properties, ways to identify, and test for three types of halides: chlorides, bromides and iodides. Qualitative analysis will give the student the knowledge necessary to identify chemical ...

Dmitri Mendeleev was not the first scientist to recognize relationships among the elements and classify them into groups. He was, however, the first to predict the existence and properties of missing elements. Introduce students to the periodic table...

“Metal reactivity increases as you move from top to bottom in a family of elements!” Will your students remember this statement if you just tell them? With this lab kit, students are actively involved in seeing and making observations about the prope...

Recreate Mendeleev's discovery of the periodic table using this open-ended, inquiry-based activity. Students play chemical solitaire using a special deck of 32 element cards. The cards summarize the properties of the elements, but not their names or ...

Unlock the puzzle of the periodic table! In this activity, students are challenged to organize or arrange a special deck of colored cards using a method of two-dimensional classification. Students discover the meaning of periodicity as their final la...

Teach your students about the elements and the periodic table with the activities in this kit-two pre-lab exercises and two hands-on laboratory activities. Students use the large foldover periodic tables supplied to gather information on element symb...

Actively teach your students the periodic table by having them do this unique hands-on activity. The students will develop their own periodic table by arranging nine unnamed elements according to their periodic properties. The students have to decide...

How does the periodic table allow students to explain and predict the properties of the elements? Helping students recognize periodic trends in the properties of the elements is key to understanding the full value of the periodic table. The purpose o...
