Let's meet the chemical elements and they periodic classification table

Classes 2 and 3 for 10th graders (junior students)

Our high school is named after a famous French singer from the past so (almost ;-) every science class starts with a song ...

Let us watch this video clip of a famous song in English that helps to introduce the basics on chemical elements:

Quizz : What element am I?

I am a metal you see me every day

I make iron rust

My ordinary form is coal and if you crush me a diamond is born

I am a gas at ordinary pressure and temperature that can light up the sign for a pizza place.

We are metals of which coins are made

Mixed with oxygen I can make concrete bricks and glass

Balloons are full of me and so is every star

Stars are mostly made of me and I may someday fill your car

We are the four elements what elephants and every living thing are made of.

The questions are more or less borrowed from the lyrics you can find here.

The following picturial periodic table of elements designed by Keith Enevoldsen  may help:
