Who Has It? – Chemical Elements Game (1–118) – 3 Levels of Differentia

Who Has It? – Chemical Elements Game (1–118) – 3 Levels of Differentia
STEM, Science, Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Basic Science, Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Homeschool Templates, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Activities, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Task Cards, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Quizzes, Worksheets, Projects, Flashcards

Who Has It? – Chemical Elements Game (1–118) – 3 Levels of Differentiation A cooperative chemistry card game for grades 7–10 to review atomic numbers, element names, and symbols 🧪🎯 This resource is a classroom game that helps students become more confident with the chemical elements – from hydrogen to oganesson. The game follows the well-known “I have… who has?” format and is designed to reinforce students’ understanding of element names, symbols, and atomic numbers in a playful and interactive way. To support different learning levels, the material includes three differentiated versions of the full game, each with 118 element cards: With element names for both question and answer (beginner level) Only the “I have…” part includes the name , the question uses the symbol/number (intermediate level) Without element names – players must match based on symbol and atomic number alone (advanced level) Each version builds on the last and can be used flexibly depending on students' prior knowledge. The game works best with medium to large groups and encourages students to listen carefully, stay engaged, and support one another. What’s included: 3 full card sets (118 cards per set = 354 total) Differentiated by content and level of language support Clear instructions for printing, laminating, and use Ideal for individual, pair, or group work How I use it in class: I’ve played this game both at the end of a chemistry unit and as a fun opener when starting the periodic table. It’s also perfect for substitute lessons or for classes with mixed ability levels. Since each student needs to be ready when their card comes up, it fosters attention and collaboration. This is one of those games where learning happens almost by accident – students are so focused on playing that they internalize atomic numbers and symbols without even noticing. A simple, engaging way to bring structure, repetition, and movement into chemistry class – no extra prep needed. If you're looking for an easy way to help students become more confident with the periodic table, this might be worth trying in your classroom. Best, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Oxygen Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science (Chemistry / Earth & Life Science) + Reading Informational Text Primary Topic: Discovery, role, and uses of oxygen Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best How scientists in the 1770s noticed a “new gas” through clues like a candle flaring brighter and a mouse staying active longer than in ordinary air. How Lavoisier’s careful weighing helped show that “air” is made of parts, leading to naming oxygen and explaining burning and rusting as oxidation . How oxygen is invisible yet makes up about 21% of Earth’s atmosphere , and how bodies use it while breathing out carbon dioxide . How photosynthesis helps balance gases: leaves take in carbon dioxide and water, make sugar, and send oxygen back into the air. Where oxygen is found and how people use it (as O and often O₂ , in air and also “locked into” water/sand/rocks, used in hospitals , factories , and rockets ). Learning Goals Students will describe what Joseph Priestley did and what clues suggested the gas was different from ordinary air. Students will explain why Lavoisier weighed jars, metals, and air before and after heating them. Students will explain what the passage says oxidation helps explain. Students will describe the exchange between humans and plants involving oxygen and carbon dioxide. Students will identify at least two places oxygen can be found or used, based on the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text dephlogisticated — Priestley’s name for oxygen under an old fire theory. mercuric — related to mercury; part of “mercuric oxide” in the text. oxidation — a process that explains burning and rusting. atmosphere — the blanket of gases around Earth. photosynthesis — plants make sugar and send oxygen back into the air. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Pencils Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science & Technology (materials/manufacturing) / Reading Informational Text Primary Topic: How pencils were invented and made Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best How early pencil “lead” was actually graphite , discovered in 1564 in northern England, and why the nickname “lead” stuck. How soft graphite needed a protective holder, leading to wooden casings and shapes that are easier to grip and don’t roll away. How mixing powdered graphite with clay (and other binders ) helped control how dark or light a pencil writes (H, HB, B). How a factory process turns materials into pencils (mixing, pressing into rods, firing, adding wax, grooving cedar slats, painting). How inventions changed pencils over time, including an eraser patented on the end and the later appearance of mechanical pencils. Learning Goals Students will explain why pencils are called “lead” pencils even though they are not made of lead. Students will describe how people first used graphite before modern wooden pencils existed. Students will explain how adding different amounts of clay changes how a pencil writes. Students will identify at least two steps from the passage that happen in a pencil factory. Students will describe one improvement to pencils mentioned in the passage (eraser or mechanical pencil). Key Vocabulary From the Text graphite — a soft black rock that makes marks. plumbago — an old name people used for graphite. casing — the outer cover that holds the core. binders — materials that help hold ingredients together. ferrule — a metal band that holds an eraser.
