Honors/Gifted Chemistry

Monday

Standard(s): SC1f. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms (i.e. including atomic radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity).

LT: We are learning how to use the periodic table as a tool. 

SC: 

• I can identify the families on the periodic table.

• I can differentiate between the row/period and the group/family.

• I can describe patterns (periodicity) in the arrangement of the periodic table.

• I can differentiate between metals, nonmetals, and metalloid properties.

Lesson/Activity:

• Study for today’s quiz.

• Take Elements Quiz #3.

• Continue and finish e- conf. POGIL (get blue stamp).

• Start webquest on the Atom, the Families, and the Arrangement of the Periodic Table.

• HW:  Flocabulary #4 due Wednesday, September 11th by 11:59 p.m.; R.A. #6 (9/10) and R.A. #7 (9/12) due this week; Last Elements Quiz #4 on Wednesday, September 18th.

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston 

• POGIL and webquest worksheets

• Elements Quiz #3 papers

Tuesday

Standard(s): SC1e. Construct an explanation of light emission and the movement of electrons to identify elements.

LT: We are learning how to explain how the movement of electrons creates light emissions. 

SC: 

• I can explain the fundamentals of the electromagnetic spectrum.

• I can relate energy changes to the production of light. 

• I can connect the relationship between energy and visible light. 

• I can differentiate between ground and excited states of electrons.

• I can investigate the effects of energy changes in the production of light emissions to identify elements.

Lesson/Activity:

• Check R.A. #6.
