Day 43 - 46 The Periodic Table

We started with an inquiry activity (Aims Fabulous Eggs) Love this! Students classify eggs, looking for patterns.  There is only 1 solution then mystery eggs are included.  Great way to start looking at trends.

Next was vocabulary with the parts of an atom foldable:

Then coloring the periodic table with the metals, nonmetals and metalloids.  I love this free graphic organizer from Travis Terry (TPT). *Had to add chemical properties to meet our standards

Finally we took notes on the physical and chemical properties of Periodic Table Families (groups) and colored another periodic table.
