Glencoe Science Level GreenUnit 6:
Matter and EnergyPeriodic Table wall muralProject Type: Technology
Have students research an assigned element from the periodic table. Have them
present its symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and name in a 1½-inch
by 2½-inch card. On a second card, have students write the electron configuration,
state of matter at room temperature, and whether it is synthetic or man-made.
The class may display their cards on a wall mural, or class sets may be distributed
for a periodic review game. Alternate Procedure:
Have the students put the elements symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, and name
on a 10 inch by 10 inch card, and on the back have students write the electron
configuration, state of matter at room temperature, and whether it is synthetic
or man-made. Then, hang the card from the ceiling. Resources:
Use these web sites to help students find and identify elements from the periodic
table. If students do their own research on the Internet make sure approve the
sites they are visiting. Periodic Table:
