Periodic Table Taboo

Activity Summary
Modeled after the classic card game Taboo, students will try to guess components of the periodic table like atomic name, atomic mass, and atomic number without using the keywords on the index card. In this version of the game students will have to rely on their knowledge of periodic table organization, group names, and valence electrons to correctly answer each keyword on the
index cards.
