Have students create a data table to write down the physical properties of each metal element they will see in the video: lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr). After the lesson, you could also share a classic version of the song by Tom Lehrer.Īfter students have completed the first set of questions, they will observe and predict trends in reactivity of metals and nonmetals based on the suggested videos below. Allow students to listen generally once, then ask students to listen again and answer the questions provided. Plan to play the song at least twice to get your students thinking about the table and its general set up. A new version of the song is at Periodic Table Song. In the first part of this activity, students will get to know the periodic table through “The Periodic Table Song,” various versions of which are available on YouTube. Handouts showing the periodic table or a large periodic table wall chartĬlassroom computer projector to show video clips demonstrating chemical reactivity A second set of videos focused on reactivity will encourage students to use their observations to identify trends and predict behavior in reactivity among metals and nonmetals. Purpose: After watching a video that introduces them to the periodic table, students will answer questions that prompt them to identify general patterns in the table.
