Here is a six-page exploration that will spark interest in the periodic table of elements. After reading a diagram-supported explanation of the periodic table's organization, pupils answer questions to familiarize themselves with it. To help them learn their way around, they play a bingo-style game in small groups. A caller in the group calls out a clue, and the rest of the group tries to identify the element on their bingo card. If groups have trouble staying focused, this could also be done as a class with you as the caller.
