Do you lose stuff in your bedroom? Have you spent countless hours looking for that lost sock or that missing piece of Ms. Johnson's homework? If so, then you need ORGANIZATION! Science is all about organization. Your Mastery Assessment is to create an an infomercial with the purpose of selling the periodic table to a group of very unorganized scientists.

=What should you know?= > code format="code" Chemicool Periodic Table. 2/23/2010 . code >
 * 1) What is an element? A chemical element is a substance made up of only one type of atom, and distinguised by its atomic number (the number of protons in its nucleus).http://www.extension.org/faq/28397
 * 2) What are elements made of? atoms of the same kind. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_makes_up_an_element
 * 3) How are elements different from each other? The difference between elements stems from their atomic structure. http://chestofbooks.com/health/nutrition/Food-Chemistry/Relations-Of-The-Inorganic-Elements-To-Each-Other.html
 * 4) How many different elements are there? As of October 16, 2006, scientists know of 117 different elements.http://education.jlab.org/qa/element.html
 * 5) In terms of chemistry--what is a property?Properties of an element are sometimes classed as either chemical or physical. Chemical properties are usually observed in the course of a chemical reaction, while physical properties are observed by examining a sample of the pure element. http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/sci/A0857944.html
 * 6) How are elements on the periodic table grouped? Why? They are grouped by numbers. http://www.chem4kids.com/files/elem_pertable.html
 * 7) What are the vertical columns and the horizontal rows called on the periodic table? What are their significance?Similar chemical properties to other elements in the same column.
 * 1) What are the features of the periodic table? (How do you read it?) The number of protons in an atom is referred to as the atomic number of that element. http://web.buddyproject.org/web017/web017/pertab.html

=Mastery Assessment= //Deadline: 3/2/2010// Science Rocks, Inc. has hired you for a marketing assignment. You and your team have been tasked with creating an infomercial with the purpose of selling the periodic table to a group of unorganized scientists. They see nothing wrong with the way they keep their elements "organized" so you must point out every feature of the periodic table to prove to them they //need// this tool.
