Periodic Table of Elements Worksheets

(0)
Included in the resource: ‘Label the periodic table’ worksheet ‘Key features of the periodic table’ worksheet Answer sheets for both worksheets These are useful introductory worksheets for teaching the periodic table. Worksheet 1: Students label the periodic table based on the words listed. They must also identify what a ‘group’ is and what a ‘period’ is. Students can also identify which regions of the periodic table are metals, non-metals and metalloids. Worksheet 2: Students answer questions on four key regions of the periodic table (alkali metals, halogens, noble gases and transition metals). The questions are based around properties, reactivity and uses. Please see the preview included. Please note that some of my resources may include American spellings.
