Atoms, Elements & the Periodic Table Mini Unit Resources
Students reflect on elements they already know, ask questions about the periodic table and then find answers! They build models of helium and copper atoms with Skittles, distinguish molecules from compounds and grow salt crystals to show cubic crystal structure. Finally, students create models of molecules to show what they know. Students love learning more about elements and the periodic table!
