The Periodic Table

Goal:
Construct an argument based on evidence describing patterns in reactivity on the periodic table.

Agenda:
Warmup
Lab Conclusions
Card Sort

Warmup
Check your journal entry from yesterday. You should have two things completed:

1. Questions from the Bohr model card sort completed.
2. Analysis questions from the lab completed. 

If you haven't finished the questions, do it SILENTLY now. 

If you have finished the questions make sure your elbow partner is finished, then discuss your answers with your elbow partner. We will be sharing out in a few minutes. 

Lab Conclusions
Using the NGSS Crosscutting Concept of Patterns, we need to construct an explanation about how an element's position in the periodic table relates to its properties (i.e. appearance, reactivity). Come up with the following with your group:

1. A hypothesis for how the element's position on the periodic table (both row and column) relates to its properties.
2. A description of evidence from your lab that supports this hypothesis. 

Card Sort
We are going to do another card sort! Arrange the cards based on their properties (without looking at the periodic table).

Directions: Find Be, Mg, Ca, and Sr from the cards. Arrange them in a column like Mendeleev did. From the placement of these elements, arrange the cards in a table (columns, and rows). Elements in each column must have as many things in common as possible. You will observe at least four patterns for each column.

Questions (Science Journal Entry Title: The Periodic Table)

1. What do the sticks represent about these elements?

2. What were the two most significant properties of the elements that helped you form your groups and arrange your table?  Explain.
3. What characteristics did you use for sorting the cards?  Record at least 5 observations of patterns such as colors, shapes, sizes, etc… that are in each column and each row of your table.  
4. Below are 4 possible cards for the element Germanium. Where does Germanium belong in the periodic table? Which card seems most accurate to you? What is your reasoning?
   

   
5. Pick one element in the table below that you think does not belong together in the same group?  Explain your thinking with specific information provided in the table about each element.
   
   

   Cadmium Cd	Moderately soft, silvery solid, metal.	React very slowly with water.	Found in CdCl2 (s)
   Zinc Zn	Moderately hard, silvery solid, metal.	Reacts very slowly with water.	Found in ZnCl2 (s)
   Iodine I	Purple solid, nonmetal.	Reacts slowly with metals.	Found in ICl(s)
   Mercury Hg	Silvery liquid metal.	Does not react with water.	Found in HgCl2(s)

Reflect
Take a minute to think about where your project is at and where it is going.

Teamwork

1. Use a pen or pencil to score yourself on the teamwork rubric. 
2. On the back of your rubric, write next Friday's date (11/4) and a goal for improving how you are working as a team member. 

Summarize

1. Open your museum Google Doc. 
2. Go to Assignment 5 at the bottom. Underneath your Elevator Pitch Script, complete the following assignment. 
1. With your team, write a 5 sentence summary of what the museum people said about your project. 
2. Write 3 next steps based on the feedback from the museum people. This can be changes, things to add, what to start building, etc. 

Work

Start following up on the next steps you wrote. 

Practice Your Pitch

Goal:
Write a script that meets the elevator pitch criteria. 

Agenda:
Review Elevator Pitch Badge
Write Script
Practice Pitch

Review Elevator Pitch Badge
Tomorrow you will be pitching your exhibit idea to the museum representatives. You will only have 2 minutes to present your idea. This is called an Elevator Pitch. To get a better picture of what this means, review the Elevator Pitch Badge. 

Yes, you will need to video record your presentation. It might also be helpful to record the feedback from the museum representatives. 

Write Script
You will be presenting to someone "in field." Write a script for this presentation.

1. Open your museum google doc.
2. Go to Assignment 5.
3. Work with your team to write a script that meets the following criteria
1. Why are you doing what you’re doing? (Third Grader's Question and standard)
2. How are you addressing this question or problem? (Learning Goal and how it relates to the question)
3. What happened so far? (Your idea and how it meets their criteria)
4. Articulate action steps and what happens next.

Practice Pitch

Tomorrow you will be presenting. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE and use a timer. Here are some guidelines

• Not everyone has to talk. You can have one or two representatives do most of the talking. 
• You only get 2 minutes. Memarzadeh was very clear about this. If your pitch is too long, rewrite your script.
