Element Tiles
Students continued research with their assigned element and finished.
Students also received a piece of construction paper for their tile. They do not need to use this if they want to use tag board, foam board etc. instead.
Due Friday January 30th

Element Tiles
Students were assigned an element that they must research.
They will then create a "tile" that will be posted to create a BIG Periodic Table

Chemistry on-line scavenger hunt
Students used the computer to complete their worksheets.
They need to use:
www.sciencespot.net - kid zone - chemistry - chem4kids and use the matter & atom tabs to complete the worksheets. They will need to be on the chemistry main page and look for chem time clock and quia games.
This is homework!

Electron dot diagrams
Students used their Bohr models from yesterday to create dot diagrams today.
HOMEWORK - if this is not finished then it is homework.
ATOM MODEL - due Tuesday Jan 20
PURPOSE: To create a 3-D model of an atom.
PROCEDURE: 1. Your teacher will assign you an atom for your model.
The name of my atom is:______________________
2. You will do some research and record the following information about your atom:
A. Atomic number:_________________
B. Atomic mass:___________________
C. Mass number:___________________
D. Number of Protons:______________
E. Number of Neutrons:_____________
F. Number of Electrons:_____________
G. Arrangement of Electrons: K___ L___ M___
F. Make a 2-D sketch of your atom in the space below.
3. Use the information that you acquired from step #2 to construct a 3-D model of
your atom. Your model must show the following:
A. Be 3-Dimensional with the protons, neutrons, and electrons
represented in their correct locations and by their correct respective sizes.
B. Have a key attached to it that states the atoms
-Name
-Number of protons
-Number of neutrons
-Number of electrons
-Electron shell arrangement of the electrons
-Your name and period
C. Contain a string and paper clip so that you teacher can hang it in the room
or have a stand so that your model can be displayed on the counter.
GRADING: Will be based on how well you carry out the above procedures and neatness.
