Identify chemical elements
Chemical elements are the subject of this middle-school Physical Science worksheet, where students identify elements by name, symbol, and basic properties as part of a study of atoms and molecules. Teachers can use it as a check for understanding after introducing the periodic table, or as a vocabulary anchor activity at the start of a chemistry unit. Knowing element names and symbols is foundational for all subsequent chemistry content.
