The Periodic Table and Reactivity 5E Lesson includes materials for every "E" phase, including the Periodic Table and Reactivity Station Lab for Exploration and an interactive PowerPoint with digital INB templates for Explanation.
The lesson also includes introduction materials for Engagement, student-choice project ideas for Elaboration, and assessments for Evaluation.
After completing the Periodic Table and Reactivity 5E Lesson, students will be able to interpret the arrangement of the Periodic Table, including groups and periods, and to explain how properties are used to classify elements. Lastly, they will be able to identify how valence electrons determine chemical properties, including reactivity.
Distance-Learning Ready
The Periodic Table and Reactivity Inquiry Lab is a hands-on activity that is differentiated for advanced, on-level, and modified middle school students.
Periodic Table: Students will discover how the periodic table is arranged using groups and periods. They will classify elements into metals, nonmetals,
and metalloids.
Reactivity: Students will make observations about the periodic table and how elements interact with each other. Students will also analyze how protons determine what the element is and how valence electrons determine an element's reactivity.
The Periodic Table and Reactivity Inquiry Lab includes a brief reading passage, comprehension checks, hands-on activities, reflection questions, and a CER conclusion.
Distance-Learning Ready
The Periodic Table and Reactivity Sub Plan is a complete lesson that takes students through a warm-up, reading passage, independent activity, extension activities, and an assessment.
The worksheets are designed to make your sub day a breeze for you, your students, and the substitute teacher. They are also perfect for distance learning.

Periodic Table and Reactivity Classroom Experiences
Create a powerful student experience to help solidify students' understanding about the periodic table and reactivity. The following experience is also included in the Kesler Science Membership.
Escape Rooms
The Periodic Table Escape Room is an immersive experience for your students. It allows them to demonstrate their knowledge of the periodic table organization (valence electrons, periods, groups, families, reactivity) in a fun and engaging way.
Students must use what they have learned, including to describe the structure of atoms, including the masses, electrical charges, and locations of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in the electron cloud; to develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures; and to use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.

Year-Round Resources
These year-round activities will increase your students' understanding of many middle school science topics. All of these activities are also included in the Kesler Science Membership.
Visual Data & Graphing
You're not alone if your students struggle with understanding graphs, charts, and tables. It's a skill that takes an enormous amount of practice. This resource will help students build a strong foundation in analyzing data and creating their own data visualizations.
Bell Ringers and Warm-Ups
These middle school science bell ringers are an excellent way to engage your students as soon as they walk into your classroom. This comprehensive FULL YEAR resource includes everything you need to start off each science class with an interesting warm-up activity.
Review Board Games
Each game board has been carefully designed to keep students engaged. There are 10 different action spaces on each board and dozens of question cards. All of the actions are related to science concepts and keep the students motivated throughout the game.
Each game is ready to play. Simply print out the board and the cards and let the students enjoy reviewing nine different units.
