⚗️ Teaching guide: how to work with the periodic table

Reading the periodic table is the foundation of all school chemistry. This free periodic table worksheet generator creates A4 blank tables to complete, symbol and name lists, group and period data tables, clue puzzles and metal and non-metal sorting, always with an answer key. Every click makes a different worksheet.

🧩 Blank table to complete

Blank cells with the atomic number (or completely empty) to write in the symbol and name. The whole table is printed in landscape so the cells are large enough to write in.

🔤 Symbols and names

From name to symbol and symbol to name, mixed or one way only. Ideal for short memory quizzes at the start of a lesson.

📋 Groups and periods

Each row gives one fact about the element and students fill in the atomic number, symbol, name, group and period.

📍 Find the element

Clues such as “Group 17, period 3” or “Period 4, alkali metals”: students use the table like a coordinate map.

⚖️ Metals and non-metals

Sorting into metals, non-metals, metalloids and noble gases with tick boxes, so it prints well in black and white.

📈 Three levels

The first 20 elements, the main groups, and the whole table with the transition metals, lanthanides and actinides.

❓ Frequently asked questions about the periodic table worksheets

Which grades are these worksheets for?

Grades 8 and 9 (first 20 elements), grades 9 and 10 (main groups) and grades 10 to 12 (whole table).

Which element names does it use?

IUPAC names in British spelling: aluminium, caesium and sulfur (the spelling IUPAC and UK exam boards now use). The Spanish and Catalan versions use the names recommended in each language.

Where are lanthanum and actinium?

In the two rows below the table, with the lanthanides (57-71) and actinides (89-103). The group 3 cell of periods 6 and 7 points to them with an asterisk.

Can I print a completely blank periodic table?

Yes. Choose “Complete the table”, the “Whole table” level, “Completely empty” cells and the maximum quantity (118): every cell is left blank.

Which elements count as metalloids?

Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. Polonium and astatine, which textbooks classify in different ways, are left out of this exercise.
