By completing the puzzle, students reinforce their knowledge of both chemical elements and the names of the American presidents in chronological order. Ideas For Use In this activity, a periodic table displays U.S. presidents, rather than chemical elements (Figure 1). The only clues students are given to solve this puzzle are a series of blank spaces, element names, and each president’s chronological number (Figure 2). In order to uncover the president’s names, students must find the symbols that correspond to the element names given as clues and then rearrange these symbols to spell out each president’s name. See Figure 3 for the answer key.

[HIDE CORRELATIONS] Physical Science Properties and changes of properties in matter There are more than 100 known elements that combine in a multitude of ways to produce compounds, which account for the living and nonliving substances that we encounter. (5-8) Structure and properties of matter When elements are listed in order according to the number of protons (called the atomic number), repeating patterns of physical and chemical properties identify families of elements with similar properties. (9-12) The "Periodic Table" is a consequence of the repeating pattern of outermost electrons and their permitted energies. (9-12) Science as Inquiry Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence and explanations. Teaching Standards Teachers of science plan an inquiry-based science program for their students. Select science content and adapt and design curricula to meet the interests, knowledge, understanding, abilities, and experiences of students. Customer Reviews Chemical Name and Symbol Assoiciation Game Adah (San Antonio, TX) on July 27, 2011 Student’s becomes familiar with the periodic table and the presidents of the USA in this game. Students are given the Presidential Periodic Table and are provided a puzzle sheet with names of the elements (so students can gather their symbols) and a clue or two. The letters for the symbols are scrambled and students must find which present is represented in the order provided. The table, the worksheet and the answers are provided for the reader. This is an element game that helps students associate the name of the element with the symbol. The author cites other published element games. This would be a fun extra activity for students. {1} ##LOC[OK]## {1} ##LOC[OK]## ##LOC[Cancel]## {1} ##LOC[OK]## ##LOC[Cancel]## [ Access our noscript login page ] E-mail: Password: I'm an NSTA member and I don't have a password Lost password?
