This document outlines a science lesson plan about reading the periodic table. The objectives are for students to be able to trace the development of the periodic table, identify elements based on the periodic table, and appreciate the value of elemental groups. The lesson will include activities like unscrambling element names and answering questions to analyze elements' placement in periods, columns, and as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids. Students will identify important elemental groups like alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, and noble gases. The lesson aims to help students understand the importance of the periodic table and elements like oxygen in everyday life.

F. Abstract
The modern periodic table is divided into 114 squares; each square represents an
element. The shape of the periodic table reflects the periodic law. The rows in the periodic
table are known as period. The periodic table has seven periods. The lengths of the
periods increase with the order of the period. Elements in a period have consecutive
atomic numbers. The first period has two elements, the second and third periods have
eight elements, the fourth and fifth periods each has 18 elements, and the sixth period has
32 elements and the seventh period has 32 elements. To keep the periodic table from
being too wide, 14 of the elements of the sixth period are placed under the main part of
the table, together with 14 corresponding elements from the seventh period.
The columns, which consist of elements having similar chemical properties, are known as
groups. There are three ways to label the groups in the periodic table. Traditionally, the
groups are labeled with Roman numerals together with letters A and B. In the United
States, the longer columns on the left and right are labeled IA through VIIIA, and the
shorter columns in the middle are labeled IB through VIIIB. Some chemists have switched
from Roman to Arabic numerals. For example, Grip IIIA is labeled 3A. In Europe, the groups
on the left are labeled IA through VILLA, and those on the right are labeled IB through
VIIIB.
In 1985, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC )proposed a new
labeling system to resolve the controversy between the American and European systems.

3. Some groups are also given names.
Group IA – alkali metals
Group 2A – alkaline earth metals
Group 7A – halogens
Group 8A – noble gases
For example, group 3A is called boron family, group 4A is sometimes called carbon family,
Group 5A nitrogen family and group 6A oxygen family or chalogens.
Elements may also classified as either metals or nonmetals, based on their properties.
Most elements are metals.
Elements to the left of the line are called metalloids or semimetals.
G. Application Answer the following questions:
GROUPINGS (BY ROW)
Instructions:
