PERIODIC TABLE

LEARNING OBJECTIVESStudents will learn how to:

• Use periodic table

• Find elements on table

• Look up protons, electrons and calculate

neutrons.

TUESDAY: CREATE AN ADVERTISEMENT

The advertisements are used to create a large

periodic table on a wall outside my classroom. The

advertisement must be colorful, neat, and contain

the required information - atomic number, atomic

mass, symbol, element's name, advertising slogan,

and cost. Students must create a slogan that is

related to the their element's uses.

WEDNESDAY- ATOMIC ATTIRE

You will design your own shirt, apron or lab

coat. Your attire will feature one element from

the periodic table on an apron, shirt, or

lab coat using permanent markers or fabric

paint to complete the protons,

electrons, and neutrons on the electron cloud

model. The key is completed

and additional information including the

discoverer, year discovered, natural

state, and uses for the element are identified

and permanently painted onto

the individualized, wearable project.

For this project you will need to use the

Internet to research the elements

in the Periodic Table. Each card must include:

Periodic Table information

Number of protons, neutrons, and

electrons

Discovery information (Person and date)

Important Uses

Pictures that illustrate one or more uses for

your element

Fill in the square with the information

from the periodic table.

* Be sure to follow the same format!

Determine the number of protons (P),

neutrons (N), and electrons (E).

Research your element to find out who

discovered or named your element and

give the year.

Provide at least 3 uses for your element.

Provide one or more pictures on the

back of the trading card that illustrate
