Many periodic tables mention specific heat, but how do scientists determine those numbers? Scholars attempt to find the specific heat of a metallic element by using a calorimeter. Three experimental trials ensure accuracy, and analysis...

Young scientists construct an understanding of molecular compounds in this hands-on science lesson. Using LEGO® to model the atoms of different elements, students build molecules based on the chemical formulas of common compounds.

In this chemistry worksheet, 10th graders write the names for 12 element symbols. They complete a chart by writing the element names next their symbols.

In this chemistry worksheet, 10th graders write the symbols for 12 elements that are named in a table. They complete the chart by writing the names in the blanks next to each element name.

In this chemistry worksheet, 10th graders write the name for each of the 12 chemical element symbols that are shown in the chart.

Eleventh graders study the use of the periodic table to develop a better understanding of the chemical elements.

Students prepare an ad for an element, including properties and uses, in an attention getting format such as that used in the advertising business.
