Objectives:

3. An element is composed of a single type of atom. When elements are listed in order according to the number of protons (called the atomic number), repeating patterns of physical and chemical properties identify families of elements with similar properties. This is the basis of the Periodic Table.

Time Range:
4th Quarter; 35 days for 4.A, 4.B, and 4.C

Suggested Teaching Strategies:

• Use periodic table to introduce the pattern and characteristics associated with each family. Reinforce understanding by having students color code a periodic table.
• Check student understanding of periodic table arrangement filling out a blank periodic chart.
• Pick an element and have students identify element by asking questions about physical and chemical properties.
• Reinforce student understanding of chemical and physical properties of elements using worksheets and activities.
