Physical Science Unit 1 Day 2

Learning Objective: Students will learn about the periodic table properties and patterns by labeling and coloring and will describe them in writing using technical vocabulary (atomic size, electronegativity, ionization energy, valence electrons, periods, groups, families).
Questions:

  1. What are valence electrons? (book)
  2. What so you think is the most important particle in an atom? (brain)
  3. Atoms of which element have the most valence electrons?

Answer choices for number 3:
  • A. Neon (Ne)
  • B. Chlorine (Cl)
  • C. Oxygen (O)
  • D. Nitrogen (N)

  • Useful APEX sections for class today:

  • 1.3.1 page 12-13
  • 1.3.4 page 5, page 8, page 10

Label and color the following patterns and properties:
  • valence electrons
  • electronegativity
  • ionization energy
  • atomic radius (size)
  • 10 families (with a colored key)
Exit Ticket for Day 2: 

  • Summarize the patterns and main points about the periodic table.
  • What sticks with you the most? (explain)
