1. Pre-Lab 15B: Periodic Table Challenge

2. Purpose
Each box on the periodic table tells you the element symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass for all the known elements.
This is very useful information, but did you know that the arrangement of the elements on the periodic table gives you even more information?
Each major column of elements represents a group of elements with similar chemical behavior.
Can you see why the arrangement of elements on the periodic table is important?

3. Key Question
What information can you get from the periodic table?

4. Background
Define:
Periodicity
Physical change
Chemical change

5. Drawing

6. Section 1:
Periodic Table Challenge is a bingo-like game that helps you understand how the elements on the periodic table are arranged.
Each player will
a) fill out their own five-by-five grid using your periodic table only: DO NOT USE THE LAB BOOK
b) with element symbols of your choice
c) from elements 1-54 (cannot pick entire noble gas group)
d) and then the caller will read element clues.
The players must interpret the clues and highlight any boxes on the grid that fit the clue.
Important: do not share your right element chosen w/ your opponents
The first player that correctly highlights five boxes across, up-and-down, or diagonally in a row is the winner.

7. Section 2:
Designate one member of your group to be the caller.
The caller, does not play, will call out clues and keep track of them on their 5x5 grid
Change caller w/ each game
The other students will use a grid of 5x5 to write down your choices of elements (not atomic #)
You may choose elements in the atomic number range of 1–54; Hg?
Do not repeat symbols on the card.
You will only be able to fit 25 of the possible 54 symbols on the card

8. Section 2 cont:
The caller will randomly pick clues from the list (lab page 83), and as a clue is called out, the caller will check off the clue ON THEIR 5X5 GRID
The answers are only for the caller to check the winner’s card!
Do this game 4 times: use 4 cards.
Have Mr. Speich sign off on each game
