These are the handouts for the periodic table notes.


Handouts for the virtual lab on the periodic table.

Students will be able to:
-review the components of the atomic theory.
-describe the periodic table of elements and use it to find information about elements.

Students completed a formal assessment probe: Is it Matter? as their bell ringer.

Students submitted HL 3 and are responsible for HL 4. HL 4 is to read (and do) all pages 375-381 in the text, and on a separate sheet, copy the Apply It! from page 377 and complete all questions.

Students then completed the notes for atomic theory and for the periodic table.

For the atomic theory: the benchmark is SC.8.P.8.7. FIrst, make a Cornell notes page for the topic. We made a booklet on the development of the atomic theory. The book had 6 pages: Democritis, John Dalton, J. J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, and the Electron Cloud Model. For each page, students should list the time the discoveries were made and the important information about each model. A drawing should be made for each model. Paste this booklet in the center portion of the Cornell notes page. Be sure to paste the printed notes on the next page. Also, write your Costa's leveled questions for the topic, using highlighters to identify the questions and answers. Be sure to summarize the notes on the bottom of the page.

Visit the site Atoms to review the six major contributors to the modern theory.

For periodic table: the benchmark is SC.8.P.8.6. First, make a Cornell notes page for the topic. Using the vocabulary word, periodic table, make your own Wordle art of the vocabulary words found at the top of page 315 of your text. This should go in the center portion of the Cornell notes page. We color coded a periodic table and correlated this with our notes. You can find a copy at the top of this blog for the periodic table and the notes. Paste the color coded periodic table on the page after the Cornell notes page. 

To complete the table, click the link for Periodic Table. You can use this to color code your own table. For our table, use the SAME color to color ALL the TRANSITION METALS,which include all the elements in groups 3-12, THE ACTINIDES AND LANTHANIDES the same color! 

On the next page, place all three of the following documents: the printed notes for the periodic table, HL 3 on the periodic table, and the quiz (the one we took using the clickers) on the atom/periodic table.

Please tape in the virtual lab we did on the periodic table. Don't forget to write the date/benchmark/topic/page in your table of contents. Actually, don't forget to write ALL the topics in your table of contents! You can find the handouts at the top of this blog. The link for the site to do the lab is from The Periodic Table.

For the virtual lab, the date was November 7, benchmark SC.8.P.8.7. 

Notebooks will be collected on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Don't forget your science fair project is due on December 5th!
