This was a fun holiday activity to keep students practicing identifying the elements of the periodic table.
A fun practice of using the periodic table for reference. Kept students' attention and encouraged collaboration the class before Thanksgiving break. Also a good sub plan!

Description
NO PREP! Use the Periodic Table as a "decoder" for Thanksgiving words! Use element atomic numbers and symbols to decode words or phrases associated with Thanksgiving, such as gravy, relatives, leftovers, cornucopia, etc. There are 35 words/phrases in total.
Includes both PRINT and GOOGLE options!
⭐ Save BIG on this resource in our Thanksgiving Science Activities BUNDLE!
Two versions are provided - they have the same 35 words, but one is decorated with pictures that relate to the words and the other isn't. (We find older students are quick to use the pictures instead of the periodic table, which is why we provide the version that has no pictures.)
Teacher Notes:
- No prior knowledge of the periodic table is required. Simply point out to students where to find the atomic number and symbol, and you're good to go!
- Please note: this resource is not editable.
- A clear and easy-to-read printable periodic table is included with the download.
- Makes a great sub plan in November!
- Answer key included.
- GO PAPERLESS! Use the included Google Slides version!

NGSS5-PS1-1
Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Examples of evidence could include adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water. Assessment does not include the atomic-scale mechanism of evaporation and condensation or defining the unseen particles.
NGSSMS-PS1-1
Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. Emphasis is on developing models of molecules that vary in complexity. Examples of simple molecules could include ammonia and methanol. Examples of extended structures could include sodium chloride or diamonds. Examples of molecular-level models could include drawings, 3D ball and stick structures, or computer representations showing different molecules with different types of atoms. Assessment does not include valence electrons and bonding energy, discussing the ionic nature of subunits of complex structures, or a complete depiction of all individual atoms in a complex molecule or extended structure.
