4. Bring out the science fair back board and review how to set up the forms on the board using the guide that students have in their science fair packet of materials.

5. Have students review how to use the periodic table and get information about the elements.

6. Review the worksheet “What does the periodic table tell”.

7. Students will review the information on the periodic table and work on the science fair project.

 

10/30-11/2

Objective: 1. Test on the Periodic Table

2. What is the relationship between atoms, the periodic table, and states of matter?

LEQ-1. What are the most effective ways to organize the periodic table?
