HW#6b -- Tuesday, Sept. 20

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.

HW#5d -- Friday, Sept. 16

The third part of this HW is to make sure that the "M&M Model Atom" worksheet that we started in class is complete, accurate, and in your binder. Your element model should look just like the two in the problems below...

HW#5c -- Thursday, Sept. 15

The HW for today is to complete the 'BrainPop - Atoms' worksheet that we worked on in class today. As usual, if you were absent, you can find this worksheet on the back table, by the pencil sharpener/tissues/lotion.

!!! Use your notes from being in class, or the internet, to look up any of the answers that you are not sure of !!!

HW#5a -- Tuesday, Sept. 13

No HW for Monday, Sept. 12

We did not learn a new concept today, and in fact took a test on a handful of topics we recently explored. On days like this, it will often happen that I will choose to not post a new assignment. Enjoy the (brief) break!
