Periodic Tables and their Properties
Periodic Tables and their Properties
How does the organization of the Periodic Table of Elements help us understand the properties of elements and their behavior under different conditions?
Critical Thinking: Analyzing the Periodic Table to understand and predict the properties and behavior of elements.
Communication: Articulating how the properties of elements, as organized in the Periodic Table, influence their reactions and interactions.
How do the location and grouping of elements on the Periodic Table relate to their physical and chemical properties?
Why are certain elements more reactive than others, and how does this influence their behavior in chemical reactions?
How can knowledge of elements' properties help predict their behavior when subjected to forces, motion, and in measurements?
Students will explain the organization of the Periodic Table and describe how it relates to the properties of elements.
Students will investigate the reactivity of different elements and relate it to their position on the Periodic Table.
Students will apply their understanding of elements' properties to predict their behavior in various scientific contexts.
MS-PS1-1: Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
HS-PS1-1: 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.
