Periodic Table

In this lesson, students will explore the foundational concepts of chemical reactions and element properties. The focus will be on using electron configurations to understand chemical behavior and the periodic table as a predictive tool for element properties. Through hands-on activities and paired discussions, students will develop an explanation of how electron states influence chemical reactions and learn to predict element properties by analyzing periodic trends. This lesson aims to deepen students' comprehension of chemical principles, aligning with standards HS-PS1-2 and HS-PS1-1. By the end, students should be able to construct explanations for simple chemical reactions and utilize the periodic table to model element properties effectively.

Lesson 1: Understanding Chemical Reactions and Predicting Element Properties

Overview

This lesson will guide students in understanding the relationship between electron configurations and periodic table trends, and how these factors influence chemical reactions and the properties of elements. Through a combination of lecture and interactive activities, students will explore how an element's position on the periodic table reflects its electron configuration, thereby affecting its chemical behavior and interaction with other elements.
