Periodic Table

Back to Unit
Essential Question: 
Why are elements such as gold and helium so different?

Learning Objective:
I can create an atomic model for any given element.

Standards addressed:
HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
