This engaging periodic table bundle combines matching and problem-solving to help students learn about the periodic table. By creating element "wanted posters," students will deepen their understanding of atomic structure, properties, and the organization of the periodic table.

This is an integrated project that focuses on the Persuade portion of Author's Purpose. I integrated this project with my science unit (Human Impacts on the earth) and my social studies unit (How people can help our planet). Students were tasked with creating an ad to persuade their audience to help with a world problem (Deforestation, Pollution, etc).

All of the graphic organizers we used, PowerPoints with ads and videos of world problems, and the checklist for the ad is included in this product. The students get to explore ads already created and review them. Then they research some of the world problems. After this they are placed in groups and then using a random wheel, are given a world problem. They then identify the impacts of the problem and come up with some solutions. Then they begin to plan their ad and once approved by their teacher, they began creating their ad!

In my classroom, my students wanted to try and create commercials. So we used the Canva app (usually free for educators) and the students worked together to create their commercials.

I hope this product is useful and gets your students engaged. Please rate and review.
