Atoms, Elements, and the Periodic Table Crossword Puzzle Activity

This activity is a fantastic way to review Atoms, Elements, and the Periodic Table with your students. It covers multiple standards and concepts within Atoms, Elements, and the Periodic Table and comes in two different forms. The first is a basic crossword with a set of 15 clues. The second option includes a word bank where students can match the answers to the questions.

I've used these crossword puzzles in my classroom to great success and have found that my students really enjoy completing them.

It can be used as:

• straight review of Atoms, Elements, and the Periodic Table

• additional work for those who finish early

• bonus activity

• introduction to tectonic plates if you allow your students access to a device to help them get the answers

This activity can be used for students in middle and high school, individually or in a group. In class or at home. It comes in Word and PDF formats and can also be uploaded to your Google Drive for easy access.
