GCSE s-cool – The Periodic Table (we don’t need group II) – revision notes & animations, practise exam questions & a revision summary. Skoool Chemistry – Elements of the Periodic Table for excellent lessons on the different groups. For Doc Brown’s Chemistry quizzes, word-fills, crosswords and study notes go here and just scroll down. Chemactive worksheets and answers just click on Periodic Table questions. Here’s a great power-point that also covers C8.4 Identification of ions and gases:
The periodic table and identification of ions from Carole Paquette
And here’s another great power-point:

Here are some key terms for this topic: Key Terms C9
C9.1 PERIODIC TRENDS
This is also a short Virtual School intro to the periodic table & Mendeleev – What is the Periodic Table?; part 1 of this Science Bank video is called ‘introducing the periodic table’ and this BBC Short Circuit Periodic Table is a 19m video.
A dynamic (wow!) periodic table is here and lots of other periodic table designs can be found at Science Notes.
Want to learn the first 10 elements? Try the Periodic Table song by Peter Weatherall. Or how about a lesson about every single element on the periodic table – created by the Periodic Videos team using the TED-Ed platform?
GROUP 1 – ALKALI METALS (C9.2 GROUP PROPERTIES)
Two short videos from The Virtual School What are groups in the periodic table? and the alkali metals.
A classic Open University clip about the (group I) alkali metals:
Brainiac carried out similar demonstrations – or were they faked? You decide.
Other videos featuring the alkali metals include part 1 of Science Bank 3: Patterns of Reactivity (to 4m 10s) and Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0, and a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipz.
The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 1 elements (the alkali metals): lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium (potassium has the best reaction).

GROUP 7 – THE HALOGENS (C9.2 GROUP PROPERTIES)
Halogens and Noble gases from Arrehome
Videos featuring the halogens also include Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0, a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipz, Science Bank 3 (Patterns of Reactivity): part 2 (from 4m 10s to 8m 50s) and:
The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 7 elements (the halogens): fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

C9.3 TRANSITION ELEMENTS
Transition elements from Shah Fiza
Science Bank 18 (Patterns of Behaviour): part 3 covers the Transition Metals (from 9m 25s).

C9.4 NOBLE GASES
Videos featuring the noble gases also include this classic Open University clip and a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipz: Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0. Science Bank 18 (Patterns of Behaviour): part 2 covers the Noble Gases (from 4m 40s to 9m 25s).
The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 0 or 8 elements (the noble gases): helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.
