Perfect for the visual learners. Have your students color code the information found on the periodic table and then match them to the terms using the same color. If it works for med school students, why not physics!

Have your students color code while you discuss:

Mendeleev's original table

Mendeleev's predictions of elements

Four types of elements

basic properties found on many tables

Family names

Atomic symbols

Atomic numbers

Atomic Masses

the "Mole"

Group and Period numbers

Valence electrons

the Bohr atomic model

the modern atomic model

electron configuration

ion formation

ionization energy

Lewis Structures
