KNOW
1) Read about Alchemy on Wikipedia. You can pick a section of the article to read, or just read the whole thing if you find it interesting. I looked for other websites about alchemy, but there were so many sketchy, weird sites that Wikipedia seemed like the safest bet. Turns out some people are still into it…who knew! Yikes!
2) Read Ch. 16 in Dr. Posin's Giants about Dmitri Mendeleyev
3) Watch this short video about chemical bonds, it's pretty fun! You can also look up chemical bonding in a book of your choice.
UNDERSTANDING
Do this:
1) Choose an element from the periodic table and give us a short 1-minute presentation on it.
and do one of these:
2) Teach us about ionic or covalent bonding using a method of your choice. Drawing, props, food, dance, whatever you think will convey the idea :) Think about this…what does sacrifice have to do with it? We'll talk about it.
3) Give us a short report on something about alchemy that you thought was interesting.
4) Mendeleyev was able to predict that other elements existed and was able to give pretty specific details about what properties they would have. He said that, "After a lapse (or period) of seven we get an element of similar characteristics again….In this way we get entire groups which resemble each other…." Teach us about one of these groups and it's characteristics. Choose from alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, nonmetals, noble gases, metalloids, and other metals. You can use any method of your choosing.
INTELLIGENCE
Do one of these:
1) Bring a "safe" chemical experiment to share with everyone. Emphasis on safe!
2) Make a game or some fun way to learn/memorize the periodic table. Tell me about it ahead of time and perhaps we can play it in class!
3) Make a poster of the periodic table, include the atomic number, symbol, name, and atomic weight.
