And they still are being discovered! In December of 2016, new elements were added: elements 113, 115, 117, and 118. He began organizing the elements by atomic mass leaving space for elements yet discovered. The periodic table was first started by a Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. You can begin to get them familiar with the various parts of the table, the properties of the elements, how the elements are arranged, the atomic weight, the element symbols, the number of protons, the number of electrons, their atomic mass, and the order of their atomic number, etc. You sink a ship by hitting all the spots in a row the other person circled. You can continue playing until one person sinks all of another person’s ships. If you miss you put an X on the spot you chose on the upper table. You play by calling out coordinates, atomic numbers, atomic symbols, or element names. Make it a bit more complicated by requiring them to have a ship in each of the sections: alkali metals, transition metals, noble gases, halogens, etc. Mark with dry erase markers where you want to place your ships by circling rows of 2, 3, 4, and 5 elements on the lower table. (You can pick how many of each.) If you want it to be more permanent you can glue them on or attach with double sided tape. Then lay the other two periodic tables down on the table in the folder. I used two file folders and hooked them together at the top with a giant paper clip. Attach two of the periodic tables in with that paper clip as well. (**This is optional but helps younger kids who are uncomfortable pronouncing the names of the elements yet.) They already have row numbers along the top. Laminating makes it re-usable! 4 laminated copies of the Periodic Table The ones pictured are from Science Notes Science Notes.Īlong the left side of the table, I labeled the rows alphabetically.To make the Periodic Table Battleship game, print out 4 copies of the Periodic Table. If you subscribe today, you can get access to it this game for free! Or. B uy it already made in my Etsy shop! The periodic table was first started by a Russian chemist named Dimitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. You can make your own version of the game and I will show you how! Kids will be learning chemistry in such a fun way without even realizing it! You’ll love hearing them call out the names of different elements and getting familiar with the structure of the periodic table. My 8-year-old daughter has not studied any chemistry yet, but really enjoyed this one.
The game can be played even by kids who know nothing about the Periodic Table Yet. (Also: see 200+ more STEM projects for kids) We played a game called Periodic Table Battleship! This game is so much fun! I think that you will love it, too.
Today I have a really fun & simple chemistry game to share. Think the periodic table is not for kids? Think again. I have posted a lot about Chemistry for Kids lately. My oldest has been studying it and really enjoying it. I am so glad you stopped by! You will love this periodic table battleship game. Need an idea for teaching the Periodic Table of Elements to Kids? You are in the right place.
