Periodic Table of Elements Computer Activity Worksheets MS-PS1-1 HS-PS1 Digital
This assignment is NO prep and it’s totally student centered. I use it to front load and introduce the periodic table. If you’re comfortable with a substitute and computers, it can be a great sub plan or you can use it for review. High school chemistry teachers can use it as an intro and then go more in depth later. After this assignment I have my students do my “Periodic Table Baby Book” and the Atom Model Project, to become even more familiar with specific elements and their characteristics.
