Atomic Structure and Periodic Table Study Guide
A self-paced study guide for 8th graders preparing for a unit test on atomic structure, covering atomic history, subatomic particles, element classification, the periodic table, and Bohr and Lewis dot diagrams. It includes a key vocabulary list, quick reference charts, practice sections, a practice test, an answer key, and flashcards.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Assign this guide as a review packet in the days before the test, or have students work through it in a 45-minute block with you available for questions.
- Discussion question: How did the discoveries of the electron, proton, and neutron change our model of the atom, and why did scientists revise their earlier ideas?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students complete the Key Vocabulary page first and build a personal glossary before attempting the practice sections, and pair them with a peer for the Bohr model drawings.
- Extension for advanced students: Challenge them to predict the Lewis dot structure for a compound not covered in the packet and explain how electron configuration determines bonding.
- Estimated time: About 60 to 90 minutes for a full pass through the guide, plus additional time for the practice test and flashcard review.
