All About My Element
Have your element research worksheet so you can take notes on your element.
Click on the website
Find and click on your element on the Periodic Table.
Record the information about your element on the element research worksheet.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s): Learning Target: - PS –M-A2:Describe the structure of atoms and the electrical charge of protons, neutrons, and electrons. - PS-M-A3: Identify the physical and chemical properties of various substances and group substances according to their observable and measurable properties (e.g., conduction, magnetism, light transmission).
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
Teacher Notes: This site lets the student see what the elements look like in real life.

2. a Element Poster Ask yourself: Do I have everything I need?
- Element Research Worksheet
Open up Word and create a informational flyer about your element.
Save your element flyer as a .jpg because we will be attaching it to a QR Code for our next task.
Print out an copy of your flyer and turn it in.

4. What’s What on the Periodic Table
You will need your QR Element Recording Worksheet.
You will grab an iPad from the cart.
You will go outside to where the Periodic Table Bulletin Board is and scan the Element QR Codes to answer the questions on your worksheet.
Once your worksheet is complete turn it in.
