Treasure Hunt
Aimed at the seventh or eighth grade level, this treasure hunt would be ideal within the General Science content area focusing on the periodic table. With this treasure hunt, students will become more familiar with the periodic table and its various elements. The periodic table can be rather daunting to a student who has never seen it before, so this treasure hunt is designed to encourage students not to be so intimidated.
For this introductory lesson, the instructor will question the students' prior knowledge of the periodic table by discussing how the different elements are grouped on the periodic table. After this initial conversation, students will be given the treasure hunt as a task to help assist in their learning about the periodic table and its various elements.
1. How many element groups are there? What are their names?
Element Groups (Families)
2. Find three elements on the periodic table and give a brief description.
3. Name five properties of gases.
4. In 1817, who was the chemist that brought up a relationship between the atomic mass of certain elements and their properties? Who were the other chemists that were recognized for their research and discoveries?
5. Using this chart, find the atomic masses for five elements. Order them from greatest mass to smallest mass.
6. What are some characteristics of non-metals? List four non-metals.
7. What is an isotope? Give an example of an element that contains isotopes.
8. Find the melting and boiling points for Carbon (C) and Chlorine (Cl). How are these two elements different?
9. Compare helium and hydrogen. What are two differences that you see?
10. What elements where discovered between the years of 1770-1780?
