Your homework for today is to finish labelling with color the seven element families on the period table. In the end, your table should have:
Alkali Metals
Alkaline-Earth Metals
Halogens
Noble Gases
Transition Metals
Lanthanides
Actinides
You should write the name of each family on the front, next to the family. Also, you need to have two facts written down for each family (can be on the front or the back).
If you're not going to use the textbooks in our classroom to finish working on this (i.e., during lunch, after school), then you can read about the families here (click for link). Just click each different link at the bottom left to read about the different families.
Keep in mind that there are still three more families close to where the 'staircase' is on the table (by silicon, for example) that we will talk about later.
