Periodic Table Scavenger Hunt | Learning about Atoms and Elements Quiz
Resource Description
Are you introducing the periodic table to your 7th to 9th grade science students? They will love using the periodic table scavenger hunt game - a set of three differentiated worksheets which challenge students to use their knowledge of the first 20 elements in the period table to answer the questions. Perfect for a chemistry lesson or small group rotations on the periodic table for 7th grade to 9th grade science or to support older science students with additional needs, the periodic table scavenger hunt is a fun activity to get students thinking and talking while they learn.
Here's how:
- Use the periodic table scavenger hunt as a mid unit quiz to check progress
- Choose one question each lesson to see if students can use their skills to find the answer
- Put AI in the hotseat and ask it the scavenger hunt questions
- Pair students and have them ask each other questions
- Display periodic tables around the room and have students walk the room to find their answers
Who is it for?
The scavenger hunt is perfect for students in 7th to 9th grade who are learning about chemistry in science, with a basic understanding of atomic numbers, periods, groups and the arrangement of the first 20 elements in the periodic table.
