PERIODIC TABLE: WORD SCRABBLE
Directions: Use the symbols of the elements from the Periodic Table of Elements to create words. (You can find the
Periodic Table of Element in the back of your textbook). You must copy the symbols correctly, meaning, it must be
written exactly the same way it is written in the Periodic Table. Use capital letters for the first letter and lowercase
for the second or third letter of the symbol. The words must have a minimum of 4 letters. (No 3 letter words please!)
4 letters= 1 pt
5 letters= 2 pts
6 letters= 3 pts
7 letters= 4 pts
8 letters= 5 pts
9 letters=
6 pts
Example: I used the symbols of the elements in the Periodic Table to make the word “notebook.” Since
notebook has 8 letters, I got 5 points for this word. When you write the words that you create, be sure to draw
a box and fill in the atomic number and symbol.
