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://www.wordwebonline.com/en/CHEMICALPROPERTY
 * 2) What are elements made of? A chemical element is a pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom distinguished by its atomic number, which is the number of protons in its nucleus.http://www.wiki.com/results1.htm?cx=009420061493499222400%3Ae8sof1xaq-u&q=what+are+the+horizontil+lines+on+a+periodic+table&btnG=Wiki+Search&cof=GIMP%3A009900%3BT%3A000000%3BALC%3AFF9900%3BGFNT%3AB0B0B0%3BLC%3A003F7D%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BVLC%3A666666%3BGALT%3A36A200%3BFORID%3A9%3B&as_q=on
 * 3) How are elements different from each other?They are not only different in structure they are different in how they react with others.http://www.aip.org/history/curie/periodic.htm
 * 4) How many different elements are there? About 100. [Library)
 * 5) In terms of chemistry--what is a property?A property used to characterize materials in reactions that change their identity... http://www.wordwebonline.com/en/CHEMICALPROPERTY
 * 6) How are elements on the periodic table grouped? Why?They are grouped in families so it will be easier to keep track of them.http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=sr1&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q=how+are+elements+grouped+on+the+periodic+table%3F&start=10&sa=N
 * 7) What are the vertical columns and the horizontal rows called on the periodic table? What are their significance?The verticle column is called a family or a group. The horizontal lines are called "periods" and show how many "shells" each atom has http://www.wiki.com/results1.htm?cx=009420061493499222400%3Ae8sof1xaq-u&q=what+are+the+horizontil+lines+on+a+periodic+table&btnG=Wiki+Search&cof=GIMP%3A009900%3BT%3A000000%3BALC%3AFF9900%3BGFNT%3AB0B0B0%3BLC%3A003F7D%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BVLC%3A666666%3BGALT%3A36A200%3BFORID%3A9%3B&as_q=on
 * 8) What are the features of the periodic table? (How do you read it?)You look at an element and then under the atomic symbol it says what element it is. for example, He is heliumhttp://www.wiki.com/results1.htm?cx=009420061493499222400%3Ae8sof1xaq-u&q=what+are+the+horizontil+lines+on+a+periodic+table&btnG=Wiki+Search&cof=GIMP%3A009900%3BT%3A000000%3BALC%3AFF9900%3BGFNT%3AB0B0B0%3BLC%3A003F7D%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BVLC%3A666666%3BGALT%3A36A200%3BFORID%3A9%3B&as_q=on//

=//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.
