The periodic table is the language of chemists. Chemistry, as a subject, can feel quite tricky to students, because we must knit together three conceptual levels: the sub-microscopic, the macroscopic, and the symbolic. The key is to understand that the symbols are not just another hurdle we have to jump through, they’re something that can help us represent complex ideas. And that’s really amazing.This product reviews the periodic relationships that are necessary for a complete understanding of chemistry.
Lesson #1
Putting the periodic table to music will motivate students to learn the elements in a fun and unique way.
A complete rubric is provided
Lesson #2
This lesson is 20 multiple choice questions to help prepare students for the AP exams. Complete Answer key is given
