Periodic Table, Analyzing an Element

The Periodic table:  
•Organizes and classifies the elements in columns and rows, based on their properties
•Elements in the same group (column) react in similar ways. So they have similar properties.
•Elements on the periodic table are divided into metals, nonmetals,and metalloids.
•Each element is different (has it's own atomic number) and has unique properties.
•Altogether the elements are arranged in sequence by their atomic number.

These pictures shown in class indicate what the numbers and symbols mean for each element found on the Periodic Table. Study this, you will be tested on it!

States of Matter Diagrams

Class, here are images showing the 3 types of Matter and how they are different. They are the same ones from class today. Click on them to make it bigger.

For the classes making the Foldable, here is an example of what the outside and inside of the Foldable should look like:

Triple Beam Balance instructions and homework

Here are 2 links on how to use the Triple Beam Balance. Just click on the links below:

1) Instructions for TBB

2) Instructions for TBB, with picture

Reminders:

Triple Beam Balance- used to measure the mass of objects.

uAlways carry a T.B.B. by the base, not the beams!.

uBefore you calculate the mass of an object, make sure the riders are at 0.

uThen calibrate the T.B.B. by turning the little knob at the end (indicator)! But make sure the table is still and its NOT moving.
