Groups of the Periodic Table
This activity helps students learn the location of certain categories of the periodic table. Students will need a blank periodic table and colored pencils or markers to help them label the specific categories. The categories mentioned are alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, noble gases, halogens, transition metals, inner transition metals, metals, nonmetals and metalloids.
The activity is a Soft Chalk activity with interactive review elements embedded into it.
The periodic table is organized into categories based on similar properties and number of valence electrons.
Complete the following activity to learn about these categories.
