This week we finished up with the chapter on electron configuration and began our next chapter on the Periodic Table. We jumped into lab to begin organizing elements then began learning about about the trends in reactivity.
We have lots of pieces to start putting together as we begin sequencing valence electrons to charges to formulas to naming to chemical reactions. Things will be busy.
Plans next week include a test on Wednesday and to continue gathering facts on our element ball project.
Element Ball Project
Every student was assigned an element in which they need to gather 20 facts. As the element balls come in (Oct 28) then we will construct a 3D periodic table on the ceiling and discuss some of the interesting facts about the elements. Next week includes Parent teacher conferences on Monday and Wednesday night, test on Wednesday (late start), then #molympics on Thursday and Friday. Its going to be a great week.
