Anticipatory Set
Students will practice identifying elements and groups of elements in the Periodic Table.

Ask the class who has seen the Periodic Table of Elements, who can give the class a fact they know about the Periodic Table of Elements, and who can identify an element on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Tell them we are going to be learning a little bit about the history of the Periodic Table as well as how to read and interpret it.  Ask questions about why it is important to know about the Periodic Table when studying Chemistry.

Procedures
Block 1:

Introductory Activity
Play the “History of Periodic Table” video.
Pause at 3:10 – the end of Section1 and beginning of Section 2.

PowerPoint Presentation: 
Introduction to the Periodic Table
Slide 1:  During today’s class we will learn about the Periodic Table of Elements.

Slide 2:  We will learn what the periodic table is, how it was created, and what information can be obtained from the table.

Slide 3:  This is a modern version of the Periodic Table of the Elements.

Slide 4:  Each box contains information about one Element and includes the Atomic Number, Atomic Symbol, Atomic Name, and Atomic Weight.



Slide 5:  The Atomic Symbol is one or two letters that stand for the element.  The first letter is always CAPITALIZED and the second letter is always lower case.  The symbol often comes from an ancient name of the element.  The Element (or atomic) name is the name of the element in English.  It is how all scientists identify the element.

Slide 6:  The atomic number shows the number of protons in the element.  The atomic mass number shows the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the element.  The atomic mass is an average of all common isotopes.

Slide 7:  As we saw in the video, Mendeleev arranged the elements by increasing atomic mass because the properties of the elements repeated at regular intervals, or periods – thus the name: Periodic Table.  The periodic table is based on the similarity of properties and reactivity’s exhibited by certain elements.  Forty years later Henri Moseley (England, 1887-1915) established that each element has a unique atomic number, which is how the current periodic table is organized.

Slide 8:  The periodic table is based on a theory.  The periodic theory, like all theories, is constantly evolving.  The following slides give an overview of this evolution.

Slide 9:  Note that the elements that are now at the tops of the columns were at the sides in Mendeleev’s table.

Slide 10:  In 1902 a new column was added for the Noble Gases.

Slide 11:  In 1914 the table was reorganized by atomic number.

Slide 12:  Since 1923 more than 26 new elements have been added.

Slide 13:  In the 1940s two new rows were added for the lanthanoids and the actinoids.

Slide 14:  Some people ask about the placement of Helium and Hydrogen in the table.

Slide 15:  The Periodic Table is a map of the building block of matter.

Slide 16:  There are two basic groups of elements:  Metals and Non-Metals.  Metals have high electrical conductivity, metallic luster, higher melting points, and are ductile and malleable.  Non-metals have poor conductivity, a non-metallic luster, and are mostly solids which are brittle.

Slide 17:  There are atomic families within each group of elements.  Metals include Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Transition Metals, and Semiconductors or Metalloids.  Non-Metals include Halogens and Noble Gases.

Slide 18:  Alkali Metals are On the left side of the periodic table.  They are very reactive because they all have only one electron in their outer shell.  They form +1 ions, are shiny and light in weight, are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are very malleable and ductile.

Slide 19:  This shows the location of the Alkali Metals.

Slide 20:  Alkaline Earth Metals are the second most reactive family of elements.  They are also located on the left side of the periodic table.  They are not as reactive as the alkali metals because they have two electrons in their outer shells.  They form +2 ions, are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are also very malleable and ductile.

Slide 21:  This shows the location of the Alkaline Earth Metals.

Slide 22:  Transition Metals are found in the center of the periodic table.  They can bond with many elements in a variety of shapes.  They are good conductors of heat and electricity, have high melting points, and are very malleable and ductile. 
Transition metals form compounds that are brightly colored.

Slide 23:  This shows the location of the Transition Metals.

Slide 24:  Semi-Conductor Metals, or Metalloids, are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity.  They can only conduct under certain conditions.  They have some properties of metals and some of non-metals.

Slide 25:  This shows the location of the Semi-Conductor Metals.

Slide 26:  Non-Metals have low melting points and boiling points.  They are poor conductors of heat and electricity, they form negative ions, and they are very plentiful on earth.

Slide 27:  This shows the location of the Non- Metals.

Slide 28:  Halogens also have low melting points and boiling points.  They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.  They form -1 ions and are very reactive because they are only missing one electron to have a full valence shell.  They often occur as diatomic molecules.

Slide 29:  This shows the location of the Halogens.

Slide 30:  The Noble Gases are located in the far right column of the periodic table.  They occur as single atoms.  Their outer electron shells are full.  They rarely combine with other elements; they are very non-reactive.  All are gases at room temperature.

Slide 31:  This shows the location of the Noble Gases.

Web Based Periodic Table

Next we are going to look at an interactive Periodic Table of Elements on https://www.ptable.com.

Please log on to your PC or laptop, start a web browser, and go to www.ptable.com.





Block 2:

Introductory Activity
Play “The NEW Periodic Table Song (In Order)” video.



Closure
Ask the students to tell us one thing that they learned about the periodic table of elements as it relates to the real world.  Do they see the connection?
Assessment
Block 1:

Using the Periodic Table on www.ptable.com complete the crossword puzzle – Periodic Table Basics.

Block 2:
Video – Real World Elements:
Today we are going to use what we have learned about the Periodic Table to make a video.

Using Animoto, or another Web 2.0 Tool, develop a video which describes a minimum of five (5) elements and where they exist in the real world. 

The assessment will be the Rubric for The Periodic Table Real World Elements.
