Day Forty Nine Overview

Day Forty Nine Overview

- went over the student's Unit 2 test
- asked the students a warm up question ... "what do you think are the most explosive/reactive elements on the Periodic Table?  Why do you think what you think?"
- I got a variety of responses ranging from uranium, cesium, hydrogen, and oxygen
- because the internet connection had stalled the students began work on their note packet and we began to discuss why the elements are grouped the way they are

Unit 3 Note Packet

     - into columns called groups and into rows called periods
     - columns have elements with the same amount of valence electrons
     - rows have elements with the same amount of electron holding shells

Homework
- make sure to hand in Alka Seltzer labs and FACEBOOK PROJECTS
