  Week 17 : Jan 18-24
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:
Friday Jan 12: Do experiment and answer questionsMetal or Non Metal LAb Activity. Thursday: Go over homework. Start Periodic Table Puzzle.
Thursday Jan 18: Flame Test Activity. Homework: Read the article (sorry not available here) and answer questions on the handout: Models of the Atom Homework Table

Friday: Lecture about electron structure and trends on periodic table. Full class review activity.
Monday and Blockday: Finish lecture and 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
5. Flame test notes and Lecture Notes.
