THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE

Here's our Dude of the Week: DMITRI MENDELEEV.

He's the guy who, finally and at last, got together everything known about different elements and organized a table called the Periodic Table. We'll talk a lot about him.

MONDAY: begin chapter 5: Mendeleev and the Periodic Table
HOMEWORK: read ch 5 section 1 for READING QUIZ
TUESDAY: READING QUIZ on ch 5 sx 1: finish sx 1, move into sx 2
HOMEWORK: worksheet ch 5 sx 1; read section 2
WEDNESDAY: Ch 5 sx 2: periodic table vocab, names, trends.
HOMEWORK: choose 2 periodic GROUPS and write a paragraph about each group's properties. Choices: alkali metals, alkali earth metals, halogens, noble gases, transition elements, metalloids, hydrogen (in a group by itself!)
THURSDAY: Determining an element's group from its electron configuration.
HOMEWORK: get ready for a PERIODIC TABLE QUIZ!
FRIDAY: periodic table quiz**-- see below.
HOMEWORK: read section 3 for MONDAY.

**Guys, it is time to memorize some facts from the periodic table. On Friday, you'll have a QUIZ ON THE ELEMENTS up to number 86. I need for you to know the abbreviation for each element (IOW, what is P? What is Pb? What is W?), and, if applicable, the name of the group each element belongs to (halides, alkali metals, etc...). THE PERIODIC TABLE WILL STAY UP FOR THIS QUIZ, but you need to know all the names and vocab!

Next MONDAY AND TUESDAY, we'll do a lab on the reactivity of halides and alkali metals. Then move on to Section 3.
here's a Happy Halloween video for everyone!
