The Mysterious Periodic Table of Elements

Elements as Building Blocks

The periodic table is organized like a big grid.

Each element is placed in a specific location because of its
atomic structure. As with any grid, the periodic table has
rows (left to right) and columns (up and down). Each row
and column has specific characteristics. For exam-
ple, beryllium (Be) and magnesium (Mg) are found in col-
umn two and share certain similarities while potassium (K)
and calcium (Ca) from row four share different characteris-
tics.

This lesson is focused on the least learned Learning

Competency of Grade 7 Science for First Quarter
“recognizes that substances are classified into elements
and compounds”. Specifically, you will:
 familiarize the layout of the periodic table;
 Cite and write the name of common elements using
symbol or vis-à-vis; and
 know some information about the elements that may
be found in the periodic table.

ACTIVITY CARD 1 PAN DE ELEMENTS!

In this activity, you will determine the Directions: Using the word list of elements below; encircle
common elements that can be found the word of elements that can be found in the text box.
in the Periodic table of Elements.

Elements in the periodic table

are arraigned into increasing
atomic number from left to
right. Hence, atomic number is
the number of protons present
in the element. For example, if
Hydrogen has 1 as its atomic
number, it means it has
1 proton inside it.

ACTIVITY CARD 3
In this activity, you are going to de-
termine the element’s name using
the period and group number.
When you look at the periodic
table, each row is called
a period. It has 7 periods and go
from left to right. The periodic
table also has a special name for
its vertical columns. Each col-
umn is called a group which
contain 18 groups
or families..
ACTIVITY CARD 4
In writing the symbol of an element:
 The first letter should be capital-
ized. (e.g. in the case of 1 letter
symbol elements such as C, N, H,
O)
 For 2-3 letter symbol, the first
letter should be capitalized while
the remaining letters should be
small letters. (e.g. Ne, Uoo)
