Find the Element Activity

/Home/Academics (by Subjects) for Homeschool Studies/Chemistry for Homeschool Studies/Periodic Table for Homeschool Studies/Periodic Table Interactives for Homeschool Studies

In this game the challenge is to quickly locate elements in the Periodic Table.

Press NEW GAME to start playing.

The name of a randomly selected element starts to fall from the top of the screen. The element is chosen from those selected (coloured rather than grey) in the Periodic Table to the right, which is controlled by the level at which you are playing.

Click on the element's symbol in the Periodic Table before the element name reaches the bottom - the more quickly you click the more points you will score. The next element name will appear immediately, and you will be shown a total of ten names.

Level
Click easy, difficult, very difficult or fiendish in the Level box change the difficulty of the game - the set of elements from which the unknown elements are taken depends on the chosen level. For an extra challenge check the Play blind box to hide the element symbols in the Periodic Table and rely on your knowledge to locate your chosen element.
