Nitty Gritty:

*Do your students need an entertaining way of showing their understanding of Periodic Table of Elements? With this editable and printable individual (they research their own element and make a 3-D square) and group (they work together to create a giant, interactive table) project (pdf and Google), students learn and reinforce important NGSS Chemistry concepts.

The Kicker:

This periodic table project will be a hit with your kids! It forces students to think critically about important elements on our planet. It highlights the variety of elements on our planet and their uses.

What other teachers have said about Super Star Science products:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Stephanie C.H. Loved it!! What an engaging engineering challenge to use in online school and with younger grades! This activity is so well explained and set up. The visuals are very clear and the instructions make it easy to use this challenge without much work ahead of time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Laurel D. What a great resource. I was able to modify it to fit my curriculum easily. I will be using this weekly, as our school goal is to improve reading across the curriculum. I look forward to more resources from this author. Thanks!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Ann H. This is one of the most original and creative project-based lessons I have seen. Students are highly engaged in the subject matter and produce some truly amazing presentations.

*FUN Periodic Table Project 3-D Interactive Middle School Chemistry NGSS SEPs*

Walk your students through this straightforward flowchart for naming ionic compounds, binary molecular compounds, binary acids, and oxyacids. (Check out the video preview for a demo!)

This diagram maps out the exact instructions I use with my tutoring students if they've been overwhelmed or stumped by their chemistry teacher's instructions.

What's included:

• how to tell the difference between an ionic compound and a molecular compound from its formula

• the foolproof way to name ionic compounds:

1. name the cation, considering whether it's monoatomic or polyatomic,

2. name the anion, considering whether it's monoatomic or polyatomic,

3. string the two names together!

• transition-metal exceptions that don't need a Roman numeral in their name (clearly organized so you can cross out the ones that you don't expect your students to know)

• numerical prefixes (1-10) for naming molecular compounds

• color-coded mnemonics to aid in understanding how to construct an acid's name

• the naming quirks for acids with phosphorus and sulfur, so your students don't overlook them!

Suitable for intro high school chemistry, AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry SL/HL, college general chemistry, and MCAT.

Risk-free: if you're not delighted by how useful this study guide is, I'll refund you 100%, no questions asked.

Help your students memorize the solubility rules, using this handy reference sheet, rather than a laundry list of rules in no particular order!

These charts map out the exact instructions I use with my tutoring students if they've been overwhelmed or stumped by their textbook or their chemistry teacher's instructions.

What's included:

+ all of the solubility rules given in typical high-school and college chemistry textbooks, written in a logical order

+ clear organization to encourage study skills like chunking, integration with prior knowledge, and active recall

+ mnemonics for the common exceptions to the general rules

+ tips to help your students get unstuck in actually applying the rules (never miss a precipitate again!)

Suited for intro high school chemistry, AP Chemistry, IB Chemistry SL/HL, college general chemistry, and MCAT.

Help your students memorize the polyatomic ions using this handy reference sheet, instead of overwhelming them with a laundry list of ions in no particular order. (Check out the video preview for a demo!)

These charts map out the exact tactics I use with my tutoring students if they've been overwhelmed or stumped by their chemistry teacher's instructions.

What's included:

+ 2 pages with the names and chemical formulas of the polyatomic ions listed here

+ clear organization for quick, easy reference (also: easily instruct your students to cross out ions you don't expect them to memorize)

+ precise prompts to foster student-centered learning (identifying and explaining the patterns in the ions' names and chemical formulas)

+ color-coding mnemonics to aid students in making connections between the ions' names and constituent elements

+ memorization tips that encourage study skills like chunking, elaborative interrogation, and active recall

+ BONUS 3rd page: straightforward explanation of all of the patterns (choose whether to include this page for your students as additional scaffolding, or to post it later as an "answer key," or to exclude it entirely)
