Hands-On Element Labeling Board | Middle School Chemistry Activity Set for Atomic Mass & Symbol

The periodic table can feel like a whole new language for some middle school students. This Hands-On Element Labeling Board makes it much easier by turning the element square into a engaging, hands-on puzzle that students can see, feel, and assemble themselves.

Designed specifically for intro-to-chemistry units, this set helps students break down any element symbol into its four key components: Atomic Number, Element Symbol, Element Name, and Atomic Mass.

Standards & Curriculum Alignment

• Middle School: MS-PS1-1 | Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
• Middle School: MS-PS1-2 | Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.

Ideal for: 6th–8th Grade Physical Science, Intro to Chemistry, Special Education Accommodations, and STEM Night Stations.
