Periodic table challenge interactive
An interactive game helping students develop and test their knowledge of periodic table elements, and their properties.
How can I use this with my class?
This series of interactive resources can be used to engage your class in the trends of the periodic table. Use either the basic or detailed periodic table posters around your classroom or as handouts.
Your class can use the periodic table challenge individually or in groups to explore properties on the entire table and carry out quizzes, working to find the correct element according to its properties. This also provides revision of states of matter, melting and boiling and electron arrangement.
