Graphing the trends / properties of the periodic table is a great way to help your students visualize and understand the trends between the elements on the periodic table. What trend is seen in atomic radius for the elements in a period or in a group? Why does this happen? Graphing these trends provides a hands-on and visual way to grasp the periodic properties.

Students will complete several “mini-experiments,” each of which is an example of one of the four basic types of chemical reactions: Synthesis, Decomposition, Single displacement, and Double displacement. Students will record their observations of each chemical reaction. Students will also be required to predict the products and write balanced chemical equations for each.

How is the atomic mass of an element determined when the element has several isotopes? In this lab students will carry out experiments and perform the necessary calculations to determine the atomic mass of the fictitious element “vegium.” As you would expect, each vegium isotope has a different mass. From a sample of vegium atoms students will determine the relative abundance of each isotope and the mass of each vegium isotope. School Stuff, Chemistry Classroom, Biology Teacher, Atoms

In this experiment students will use a Styrofoam cup as a calorimeter. Ice will be placed directly into a measured amount of water. The heat required to melt the ice will be supplied by the water. By measuring the temperature change of the water, students can calculate the quantity of heat exchanged between the water and the ice. Using these experimental data, students will calculate the heat of fusion of ice. Teaching Science, Hands On Activities

The "activity series of the elements" is a list of elements in order of their reactivity. This list can be used to help determine when an element and a compound will react in a single replacement reaction. By observing reactions between single elements and compounds, scientists have been able to determine a list of elements in order of their reactivity.

Students often think of molecules as being two-dimensional since they most often see them drawn on paper. Using molecular model sets to build molecules is an excellent way to reinforce the three-dimensional nature of molecules. By building models, students also quickly realize that molecules can be polar or nonpolar based on their shape.
