Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 mins	Briefly introduce the periodic table's history and its importance in chemistry.
2	Structure of the Table	10 mins	Explain the arrangement of elements, including groups and periods. Use the projector for visuals.
3	Key Trends	5 mins	Discuss atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy trends across periods and groups.
4	Group Work	5 mins	Divide students into small groups to analyze a specific group of elements and their properties.
5	Class Discussion	3 mins	Facilitate a discussion where each group shares findings while clarifying any misconceptions.
6	Homework Assignment	2 mins	Assign homework that reinforces the lesson material, checking understanding without presentations.

Homework

• Students will complete a worksheet based on the periodic table, focusing on identifying elements, their groups, and trends.
• Submit by the next class for individual feedback without whole-class presentations.
