Tuesday/Wednesday March 3rd/4th

Today in class you will be designing a brochure for the periodic table. A template for the brochure can be found in my assignments folder in Student Files.

You need to include the following:

A section for:
metals
non metals
metalloids
noble gases

Each section should include:
1. A description of the properties of the elements in that group
2. A description of where the elements can be found on the periodic table
3. Examples of elements in the group with common uses
4. Pictures

Web Sites for research:

Metals, Non metals, and Metalloids
More Metals, Non metals, and Metalloids
Periodic Table with Descriptions of Groups

Periodic Table Web sites:
Periodic Table Collector -(really cool website)
Dynamic Periodic Table

Homework: Which group (metals, non metals, metalloids, noble gases) is most essential for life? Use information you gathered from your research to support your decision. (4-5 sentences)
