Way back in time, Mendeleev had a plan
To organize the elements, oh yes, he can!
Rows are called periods, column are groups
Patterns emerges as we loop-de-loop
Periodic table, shining bright, Elements ordered left to right
From hydrogen, the smallest one
To heavy metals, we’ve just begun!
Group 1’s the alkali, reactive and bold
In water they fizz, a story told.
Group 2’s alkaline earth, sturdy and strong
They build our bones and last so long
Periodic table, shining bright, Elements ordered left to right
From noble gases that never bond
To halogens, where sparks go on!
Metals on the left, nonmetals on the right
Metalloids in the middle- shining light
Atomic number climbs each square
Protons increase as you go down there
Periodic table, map we trust
Helps us learn the world of dust
From chemistry labs to stars above
It’s a table of science, a chart we love
