Unit Title: Building the Periodic Table Grade Level: 9

STANDARDS: What should students know and be able to do for
this portion of the unit (chunk)?

PRESSESSMENT LESSON STRATEGY: Such as journals, ticket out,

quick writes, quizzes

Students will be able to research specific science sites in order to collect needed data for their Element Building Block Cards.
CRITICAL QUESTION FOR THIS PORTION OF THE UNIT:

What are the rules of the periodic table? Brainstorm what the possible differences are among the elements.
PERSONAL QUESTION(S):

Can students use inquiry and discovery to build their own periodic chart as a class?
CONTENT (CONCEPTS):

Do you think there are more elements to be discovered?

SKILLS: (What will students do?)

Students will build knowledge about the periodic table, elements, uses of elements and practice their Internet Research Skills. Students describe the structure, behavior, and interactions of matter at the atomic level and the relationship between matter and energ
INSTRUCTIONAL PHASES::

Internet research Use elements as the building blocks of the next few weeks. Research elements and put them together to form a periodic table, learning about gasses, metals and nonmetals.
