What do you remember about the Periodic Table from your days in school? The answer for me is not much at all! But as with many, many things, homeschooling my children is allowing me to re-claim my own education.

My homeschool philosophy has long been one of simplicity and FUN, and these resources will help you keep things easy and engaging for your children.

I'm sharing some of the resources I've pulled together to help our family learn all about the Periodic Table. I hope you find this round up of resources helpful for your homeschool also!

Learn About the Periodic Table

Below are some resources to help you teach your family all about the Periodic Table. There are helpful videos, books, songs, notebooking pages, and more. Have fun!

TED-Ed Periodic Videos Click on any of the elements of the Periodic Table and go straight to a video lesson about that element. They have a lesson for every single element! This is so cool! This team of scientists has made it so simple for you to teach your kids about the elements. They show you experiments and explain each element.

Carbon - The Building Blocks of Life I like this short video from Answers in Genesis that shows the ingenuity of our Creator and how perfectly elements work together in the world around us.

Lapbook or Notebook Your Way Through the Periodic Table

Create a Periodic Table Lapbook This lapbook found on Homeschoolshare uses the Fizz, Bubble & Flash book to reinforce teaching about elements in the Periodic Table. My kids love doing anything hands-on. This would be a fun project to do. It says it is best suited for ages 9 and up although you could let your younger children join in.

Periodic Table Notebooking Pages We have a lifetime membership to Notebooking Pages and it has been well worth the investment. It's my go-to place for ready-to-go notebooking pages for any new topic we study. They offer a set of pages for the Periodic Table that you could easily add to your science studies. There are even blank Periodic Tables that you could use in a variety of ways as your children memorize the Periodic Table!
