Miss Repas' Science Classroom

Topics:

The history and structure of the periodic table and periodic trends (valence electrons, energy levels, Coloumb forces, atomic radius, ionization energy, electronegativity, and ionic radius)

THE PERIODIC TABLE NOTES

Notes for teachers:

I usually give my students 2 class days to complete this section of notes (from the notes packet and Slides) on their own.
Make sure to encourage students to take their time and to click on the videos that are linked on most of the Slides
Some years, my students work quickly enough that I have them complete the Riddle Me This assignment (linked below) once they are done with their notes

Notes for teachers:

I spend about 4 days in total working through this activity
I have my students learn each trend through inquiry first before going over each trend as a class
I allow my students to work in groups, and after they complete certain pages of the packet, I have one member from each group show me their answers so I can address any misconceptions that may arise
Day 1: History of the PT, valence electrons, energy levels, and Coulomb forces, with checkpoints after Part 1 and page 11
Day 2: I go over the trends from Day 1 (using the Slides posted at the top of this page) and assign atomic radius and ionization energy, with checkpoints after each trend's section in the packet
Day 3: I go over the trends from Day 2 (using the Slides posted at the top of this page) and assign electronegativity and ionic radius with checkpoints after each section, and I also assign the task cards
Day 4: I go over the trends from Day 3 and assign the scavenger hunt
