Week 17 and 18: Jan 17 - 27 Sorry this post is late. We've started our kitchen remodel at home.
Following these weeks are finals. Here is a review document. First Semester Review Guide

Goals:
1. All atoms are made of the same pieces: electons on the outside, protons and neutrons in an inner nucleus.
2. Valence electron shells hold up to eight electrons (or two) and are progressively filled as you go through the periodic table.
3. Know how the periodic table is organized in regards to: metals/non-metals, reactivity, protons, neutrons, electrons, mass, and families' physical properties and chemical formulas.

Activities:
Block day: Do experiment and answer questionsMetal or Non Metal LAb Activity. Homework: Read the article (sorry not available here) and answer questions on the handout: Models of the Atom Homework Table
Thursday: Go over homework. Start Periodic Table Puzzle.
Friday: Work on Periodic Table Puzzle in groups. Present Periodic Tables.
Monday: Flame Test Activity
Blockday: Lecture about electron structure and trends on periodic table. Full class review activity.
Thursday: Review, Quiz and Notebooks
Friday and Monday: Review for Final

Notebook Table of Contents:
1. Lab: Metal or Non-Metal
2. Periodic Table
3. Reading: Model of the Atom
4. Table: Model of the Atom
