How to teach the periodic table of elements to 11th graders

by Janith Chandrakantha

Created on: March 25, 2009

grade 11 student knows something about atoms,and prediodic table.if it isn't that student even did not pass the grade eight or grade nine.lot of grade 11 students can say lot of names and compounds.in grade eleven they have to learn about there structure and there statics.

lot of students using some songs for keep them remind. some of them were very funny.anyway we can keep them easily in side in the brain by convert this to a story or a song.i know some of them in our sinhala language ,but not in english, so i am sorry for it. but i think anyone can make a song for that small part.


as i said grade 11 students have to learn about there structure. it also very easy.this lesson can complete in 20 min. grade 11 students are normally 16-17 years old ones.so there are very intelligent ones. so they catch the subject soon.you have to give a clear introduction about the first 2 rows. then after that you have to say for complete the 3 rd row by them self.but they will do it.i am sure that students can do it.after that correct and ask for complete the 4th row. but they will make a mistake on it.now they will get the question,help now,teach about s block p block and know d block.then show the way for do it.and show them what happen.

they will got it now, you know they missed it, so they are interested about 4 th row.so in that way they can teach 4 th row and continue about blocks , now f block.this just wast only 20 min.
grade 11 leaves students are not babies. they are learned about something in this lessons.memorizing is not bad,but keep in mind , they are heard about this.so if we starts beginning, they will forget there last knowing things and try to learned then newly.it is vary bad.if students addicted for this then we have to teach every lessons in every students again and again every year. si it is very bad.so i recommend for a small memorize an start the lesson.

this pattern must use for all maths and science students. otherwise we have to responsible for there results. they must learn for catch and learn.otherwise we have to teach every answers for maths and science universe.it is vary bad .so keep in mind to teach as a monkey style not the parrot style.parrots can just talk but not work.they have only heard things and saying it.not use there brain.but monkeys can develop. as an example human! so it is vary useful way , teaching in monkey style.otherwise out students will get in a big trouble and they will ask for everything.but no new creations!
