Students learned how to determine atomic number, mass number and atomic mass using the Periodic Table.  We also reviewed the scientists responsible for the atomic theory.  We concluded class on learning how to determine the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in an atom.  The Atomic Structure WS (47 pts) was finished in class.

Students were taught to differentiate between groups/periods, the names of the major groups of elements, the three major types of elements on the periodic table and how to locate them, characteristics of metals and nonmetals, and what valence electrons are.

Students continued taking notes on the Periodic table and Periodic Law.  We specifically discussed the items that appear in each square on the Periodic Table, Groups/Families, Periods, scientists who developed the PT and atomic number, metal & nonmetal characteristics and location on the Periodic Table.
