ASL Periodic Table of Elements for Kids

What is an element? And how many known elements are there in the vast universe? Periodic Table of Elements for Kids answers these and other questions and explains how the table came to be in the first place. Elements make up everything in the whole world, so it makes sense to learn a little more about them. The Periodic Table provides us with a lot of valuable information about these different atoms.

The first person to propose that scientists arrange the elements in a table was Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. At the time, there were only 65 known elements, and Mendeleev arranged them according to their atomic weights as well as by their similar properties. Today, the table has seven rows, called periods, and 18 columns, called groups. The elements in each group have similar properties. For instance, the elements that can be classified as alkali metals all align in one group.

What you can learn about each element on the table depends on which table you look at. Some provide more information than others. For the most part, you can discover the element's name, atomic number, atomic weight, and symbol. Many symbols reflect the name of the element. For instance, the symbol for calcium is Ca. Others reflect the Latin origins of the word, such as for gold, the symbol for which is Au.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the many elements on Earth! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about atoms or elements, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
