Chemical Elements Everyone Should Know:

1. Although, 114 chemical elements have been identified, about 48 of them are significantly discussed in most of the sciences. This activity exercises on the unique features of these 48 elements, as well as those of the four commonly discussed groups in the periodic table. It also delves into some essential features of chemical elements in general. These are collectively done in an outlay that is designed to facilitate understanding, and to enhance the retention of learned facts.

2. One other intended goal of this activity is encouraging students to do research and work independently. Getting correct answers to all the text boxes in the Activity Fields and to the fill-in exercises, may require consulting several textbooks, as well as the internet.

3. To prevent users from looking up answer before doing the required amount of work, the Answer Verification Chart can be easily extracted without damaging the booklet.

4. Users can write answers on a separate sheet of paper, to avoid using a new booklet for each activity session.

5. Since the activity is timed and standardized, it can be used for student evaluation.

6. The activity can be used as a worksheet generator, as well as a highly condensed information text.

7. The activity is also an ideal tool for teachers to supplement class work, and to keep pupils productively busy after regular class material has been covered.
