    This chemistry lesson introduces students to the periodic table of elements. It begins with a video and discussion to engage students' prior knowledge of elements. The teacher will then give a mini-lesson explaining what elements are, including their different phases, and introduce the periodic table. The lesson will cover the origin and development of the periodic table, the anatomy of the table including atomic number and mass, and classifications of elements as metals, non-metals and metalloids. Students will use an interactive periodic table activity and worksheet to research specific elements.

    Science: Chemistry

    Introduction to the Periodic Table of Elements


    Content Objectives: To learn what an element is and the factors by which
    they are arranged on the Periodic Table. Learn about the development of

    the periodic table of elements and will be able to find information


    about specific elements on the periodic table.

    Class opener/Do Now:


    Show a 3-minute video about life and chemistry. Ask the students ideas
    about the video they saw, e.g., How important is chemistry in our lives?
    Are you excited now to learn the different elements in the universe? Can
    you name some of the elements?
    Students will have 90 seconds to write down as many elements as
    they can think of. Then, as a class, students will share their lists, and a
    list of elements will be formulated on the board.
    Mini-lesson: Begin with visual aides; explain how elements make up objects
    in every day life; exist in different phases (solid [Au and Ag jewelry], liquid [Hg
    in thermometer], gas [He in balloon]).
    Introduce the Periodic Table:
    What is an element?
    o The simplest form of matter; cannot be decomposed into simpler
    substances; matter
    o composed of one kind of atom, each atom has same properties; atoms all
    have the same atomic number Break down into name and atomic symbol
    o Ex: Carbon
    o Review subatomic particles from previous unit (electrons, protons, neutrons)

    The Lesson
    Part I: Origin of the Periodic Table
    Dmitri Mendeleyev- The chemist who created the periodic table of
    elements.

    Students will be asked to interact with the teacher during the power
    point presentation.

    Part II: Anatomy of the Periodic Table


    Ask students to work in pairs as they explore the Periodic Table of
    the Elements interactive activity. Direct students to several sample
    elements within the interactive and identify the following
    information specific to each:

    The atomic number refers to the number of protons in the


    nucleus of the element's atoms. (Gallium, for example, has 31
    protons.)

    The atomic mass increases as the atomic number increases,


    but unevenly. This is because the number of protons does not
    always equal the number of neutrons. The listed atomic mass is
    the average mass for all forms, or isotopes, of each element.

    The number of neutrons shown is the number for the most


    common isotope of the element. (Formula: atomic mass- atomic
    number= number of neutrons)

    Power point presentation and discussion with the students. Ask


    the students to answer questions that the teacher will ask them.

    Part III: The classifications of the elements in the periodic table of


    elements:
    Metals, non-metals and metalloids

    Part IV:

    Element, compound, Mixture

    There will be a presentation of the difference between,


    element, compound and mixture.

    Worksheet:
    Pick an Element
    Name: _______________________________________
    Choose an element on the periodic table and answer the questions that
    follow. Some research may be required to complete the assignment, so
    utilize any resources necessary (Wolfram|Alpha, textbook, etc).
    1.) What is the name of the element?
    2.) What is the atomic symbol of the element?
    3.) What is the atomic number?
    4.) What is the atomic weight (including units)?
    5.) What period and what group is this element found?
    a. Period:
    b. Group:
    6.) Name two facts/properties that you learned about this element?
    a.
    b.
    7.) What is this element used for? Applications?
    8.) Compare your 2 favorite elements. What did you learn?
