Are you looking for a fun project to review atomic structure with your students? Well this is it. In this project, students create a trading card for an element on the periodic table. They create a character, design attacks based on the elements properties and fill out the statistics. This was my students favorite project last year and the display outside my classroom received lots of positive comments. Additionally this project can be adapted in different ways... It can be hand-drawn or de

This is my students favorite project of the year! This project is a fun way to have students apply their interests to learning about the periodic table. The student periodic table has 34 elements, 8 groups & 5 periods. As part of the project students have to organize their elements into groups and create trends down a group and across a period. A Google Doc Template of the Periodic Table allows students to complete the project electronically or can be printed out for hand-drawn tables. Ple
