Content Objective

P.PM.07.21 Identify the smallest component that makes up an element.
P.PM.07.22  Describe how the elements within the Periodic Table are organized by similar properties into families

Language Objective
Students will read and write during an activity that helps them to better understand the periodic table of elements.

Today we looked at a PowerPoint about Elements and discussed how they get their symbols.  The students then worked on a worksheet designed to help them become more familiar with the periodic table and the elements that make it up.  Tomorrow each student will choose an element that they will research and begin the process of creating a PowerPoint or poster that they will present to the class in about two weeks.

Tonights HOMEWORK – finish the Elements Symbols worksheet.
