Task

Demonstrate understanding of the arrangement of the Periodic Table of Elements by creating a new table based on properties and characteristics of objects. You will present your periodic table and explain your arrangement to the class first and then to your parents and the community on exhibition night.

Hints for Planning:

Remember that a chemical symbol can be 1 or 2 letters, but only the first letter is capitalized.
Remember that atomic mass can be in decimal or whole number form.
You cannot use the same characteristic for 2 different pieces of information. For example, 1994 can only be used for atomic mass or atomic number, not both.

Suggestions:

Sketch out each square and manipulate the pieces to help discover patterns
Some topics ideas include: candy, TV shows, movies, mall stores, music, sports teams, animals, clothes, countries, states, food, etc.
