After introducing the major blocks of the Periodic Table, we went into the major characteristics of each block and how they helped arrange the Periodic Table. We specifically covered groups 1A - 3A and their characteristics chemically.
Elements & the Periodic Table
We continued going over the characteristics of the groups of the Periodic Table. We specifically went over characteristics of the nonmetals, Group 13 elements and their uses and Groups 14-16. Students were advised to review the elements discussed earlier and their uses as well 17-18.
Periodic Table and the Periodic Law
Students continued taking notes from the PowerPoint and discussion on the uses of elements in the characteristics of metals, their locations and how to determine the blocks (s, p, d, and f) using the electron configuration notation studied last chapter.
Elements & the Periodic Table
Students continued taking notes from the PowerPoint and discussion on the uses of elements in the Groups 3-12 and properties of the lanthanides and actinides.
Periodic table and Periodic Law
Students continued taking notes from the PowerPoint on the Periodic Table and the Periodic Law. We specifically discussed how to comprehend and understand what we read. We covered the Periodic Law, characteristics of metals and nonmetals and how to located them on the Periodic Table.
Elements & the Periodic Table
Today, we completed the notes on characteristics of metals and began discussing the general characteristics of the Alkali Metals and the Alkaline Earth Metals. Then, we picked the more common elements, learned their symbols and at least two uses for each element.
Periodic Table & Periodic Law
Students began the notes and discussion of how the Periodic Table was created and the scientists who contributed to its creation and why they organized it in its way.
Elements & Properties
Students discussed the notes from the PowerPoint on Elements & Their Properties. We looked at the characteristics of metals, Group names and their characteristics. As well, we covered the characteristics of the elements and uses.
Periodic Table & Periodic Law
Students completed the Periodic Table and Periodic Law Review Questions (60 pts) and we began the notes on the chapter covering the scientists who began the development of the periodic Table.
Elements & Properties
Students completed the Elements & Properties Review Questions (60 pts) and we began the notes on the chapter covering the location of metals, nonmetals and metalloids and their characteristics from the PowerPoint.
