Health. Homo Faber and Environment

The student will be able to:

•  use the periodic table to determine whether an element is a metal or non metal.
•  perform tests to determine the physical differences between metals and non metals.
•  perform chemical tests: with acids and the pH of oxides.
•  make a chart of the common elements, data and uses using names and symbols.
•  use tables Chap 13 to detect similarities and trends from data.
•  lstudy unusual metals Group 1 and 2
•  do some research on a given element.
•  make a time line to show: development of ideas about atom through time, date of discovery of the elements and important events in world history .
•  know position charge and mass of the 3 main subatomic particles.
•  arrange particles up to element 20.
•  determine the significance of group and period numbers and why the noble gases are inert.
