Periodic Table of Elements Worksheets Atoms and Molecules Chemistry Review

The Periodic Table of the Elements unit contains material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism who are in middle and high school studying atoms and elements.

Topics addressed:

• Organization of the periodic table
• Periods and groups (families)
• Metals, nonmetals, metalloids, and noble gases
• Element names and symbols
• Atomic number
• Atomic mass
• Valence (outer) electrons
• Periodic trends
• Why atoms bond
• Ionic, covalent, and polar covalent bonds

There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the Periodic Table. This repetition encourages a true understanding of this very abstract concept. In addition, many of the periodic table activities and assessments include multiple versions, differentiation suggestions, and presentation options.

***This unit contains digital versions of the activities. There are 75 Google Slides (including a differentiated set) and a movie version of the book.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities have time to experience material over several days to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, asking students good questions will push them to think more deeply than before.
