KEYWORDS: group, period
Enjoy this intro to The Periodic Table! 🎼
Q: How do you think you could organise the elements into a neat, logical system?
THINK-PAIR-SHARE
How well did you do?

This Hank Green special tells the story of how it
all came about..
KEYWORDS: groups, periods, metals, non-metals, metalloids, alkali metals, alkali earth metals, transition metals, halogens, noble gases
SCROLL THROUGH THE PERIODIC TABLE SLIDES BELOW AND
TAKE NOTES IN YOUR WORKBOOK AS YOU GO..
The elements in The Periodic Table make up EVERYTHING... including us!
Use this link to Periodic Videos below to learn even more about all the elements that make up this incredible puzzle..👇🏼
TIME TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS PUZZLE
IS PUT TOGETHER..
Let's build our own Periodic Table!
Colour each GROUP a different colour to show they are
all from the one family.
Add the group name to the top of each group, plus its
scientific name (eg alkali metals) and write some characteristics
of this group at the bottom (see second sheet)
NOW ADD THE NUMBER OF SHELLS THAT EACH PERIOD HAS👇🏼
THE ELEMENTS ARE ORGANISED ACCORDING TO THEIR 'PROPERTIES'.
Think about these properties..
We will discuss the physical properties of a range of elements to understand how elements are classified eg: solid, liquid, shiny (lustre), malleable (bendable), conducting etc..
Think water is neutral, pure and safe?
Not when you add a Group 1 metals!
😱💥
LIthium in water
Sodium in water
All Group 1 Metals in water
Moving on from the LHS of the periodic table we come across the Transition Metals..
They sit in the middle (low) section
At the other end of the Periodic Table (on the right side),
we have Group 18-
THE NOBLE GASES!
