- The Periodic Table of Elements Cards will help your child learn and record more about each of the elements on the periodic table – the atomic number, atomic weight, symbol, state at room temperature, melting point, boiling point, characteristics, and interesting facts.
- The colors on the table correspond to the different families of elements such as alkali metals, transition metals, lanthanides, actinides, metalloids, halogens, and noble gases. After you have customized the table to meet your needs, you can print or download it as a PDF. The PDF can be optimized to fully utilize A4 and US Letter paper sizes.
- Determine the number of protons (P), neutrons (N), and electrons (E). Research your element to find out who discovered or named your element and give the year. Provide at least 3 uses for your element. Provide one or more pictures on the back of the trading card that illustrate uses for your element.
Periodic Table Basics Step 1: Complete the card for each element.

Complete the top section for each element by adding the element’s 0001 atomic number, 0002 name, and 0003 atomic mass.
0004 Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in each element.
B 0002 _______________ 0003 _____________ 0004
P = _____ N = _____ E = _____
0005 Darken the correct circle to show if the element is a solid (S), liquid (L), or gas (G) at room temperature.
0006 Create a Bohr diagram for each element.

Distinguish between metals, semi-metals, and non-metals. You can better understand the properties of an element by recognizing what type of element it is. Fortunately, most periodic tables use color to indicate whether the element is a metal, semi-metal, or non-metal. You’ll notice that metals occur to the left of the table, while non-metals fall on the right. Semi-metals are sandwiched between them.
Ever wanted to learn all of the abbreviations for all or some of the elements of the periodic table? Well here's your chance. This set consists of terms and definitions in pairs who respectively correspond to a currently existing element.
Verify that your text is easily readable, will encourage your audience to share your articles, and that the words are complemented by the images. Don’t sacrifice legibility for variety—by using different font sizes, weights, and upper and lower case, you can get good mileage from a single font family without looking too busy.
Use variants of one font family to give a consistent (but unique) feel to individual sections.

[7]- Keep in mind that hydrogen can be grouped with either the Halogens or the Alkali Metals because of its properties, so it may appear on either side of the table or may be colored differently.
- Elements are labeled as a metal if they have luster, are solid at room temperature, conduct heat and electricity, and are malleable and ductile.
- Elements are considered a non-metal if they lack luster, don’t conduct heat or electricity, and are non-malleable. These elements are usually gases at room temperature but may also become a solid or liquid at certain temperatures.
- Elements are labeled as semi-metals if they have a mixture of properties of both metals and non-metals.[8]
