Periodic Table Holiday Christmas Science Worksheet Activity

Description

Get this activity at a discount in our Christmas Science Activity Bundle!

Use the Periodic Table as a “decoder” for holiday words! Use element atomic numbers and symbols to decode words associated with the December holiday season, such as Icicles, Scrooge, Candy Cane, etc.

Include both PRINT and GOOGLE SLIDES options!  PUBLIC SCHOOL FRIENDLY!

Two versions are provided – they have the same 30 words, but one is decorated with pictures that relate to the words and the other isn’t. (We find older students are quick to use the pictures instead of the periodic table, which is why we provide the version that has no pictures.)
