This is a one page worksheet designed to help students examine the information contained in their periodic tables.  It is based on the Sargent-Welch periodic table (it's has red and blue type on it in addition to black).  It contains three exercises:
    making a key to interpret the information
    finding some specific information (e.g., what's the density of gold?)
    examining the elements (a scavenger hunt)

Teachers may copy and change this material to suit their needs, but please respect the hours of work that went into creating and testing this worksheet by the author.
