Chemistry 10-2-15 Elements & Intro to the Periodic Table

CHEMISTRY – Happy Friday! Here’s our overview of the elements and intro to the periodic table. Did you feel like it was mostly review?

How is the element handbook search going? You will be responsible for that information – both search 1 & 2, on the test. On the first part, tell enough to show what distinguishes that element as the type that it is – physical and chemical properties, where it can be found, what it’s used for, anything particularly unusual about the element, but don’t go into minute detail – just the main facts. You for sure don’t have to copy information from all the tables in the book.

Another great resource for the Element Handbook Search (and for the TEST!!) are these video clips on copper, phosphorus, and silicon that a group of chemistry researchers have put together at www.periodicvideos.com. We’ll watch them in class on Monday, but feel free to go ahead and watch them if you’d like to get a head start! The information on these video clips will be on the test.

Speaking of the test, have you had a chance to check out the chapter 1 study suggestion sheet on Edline? Let me know if there is anything you need help with before the test! (And you’re still learning the symbols of the elements, right?!?)

  1. This week I learned about the law of conservation of mass. I learned that you cannot disprove a law, so if I got results in an experiment that didn’t prove the law of conservation of mass it was my error. I rate myself an 8 for this week because I managed my time well when typing up my lab. I didn’t a little bit each night and never got stressed out.

  2. This week I learned how to design my own lab. To correctly test the law of conservation of mass me and my lab group had to design an expirement with a few materials given. This was a triumph for my group, including that we finished the lab on time!

  3. This week I learned how to design my own lab. To correctly test the law of conservation of mass me and my lab group had to design an expirement with only a few materials given. This was a triumph for my group, including that we finished the lab on time!

  4. This week I would rate myself a 5 out of 5 because my lab partner and I did a good job of managing our time during the labs for this week. I also was reminded of the things about the periodic table.

  5. This week i learned about the 4 phases of matter and how to seperate matter with many different techiniques
