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?=
 * 1) What is an element? An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. - http://education.jlab.org/qa/element.html
 * 2) What are elements made of? Salt is made up of elements sodium and chloride. Water is made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen. http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/compounds.html
 * 3) How are elements different from each other? Each element is made up of different Protons, Atoms, ect. and are used for different purposes. -http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/periodic/
 * 4) How many different elements are there? The periodic table consist of 118 Elements. -http://chemistry.about.com/library/blperiodictable.htm
 * 5) In terms of chemistry--what is a property? the organic stuff that is quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative info is melting point, boiling point, and it's refaction. The Quantive is the odor, and it's color. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry#Properties
 * 6) How are elements on the periodic table grouped? Why? By a type of metal: alikali metals, actincle series, alkaline earth metals, other metals, transition metals, nonmetals, lanthanide series, rare earths, noble gasses. "World book Millennium 2000 ." 6. Chicago, IL: World book, Inc, Print.
 * 7) What are the vertical columns and the horizontal rows called on the periodic table? What are their significance? The vertical columns are families, and the horizontal rows are poeriods . the verical columns have similar properties. the horizontal rows are how they look.
 * 8) What are the features of the periodic table? (How do you read it?) arranged by atonic number, atomic name, atomic weight, cor masses number, number of electronic since each shell, beginning with the shell number one top. "World book Millennium 2000 ." 6. Chicago, IL: World book, Inc, Print.

=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.
