should be the title page of the notebook.
·
From
the Handout Box: Mystery Element
·
You
are shown 2 samples of phosphorous. One is white and
burns if exposed to air. The other is red and burns
if lit. Research and explain why the properties of these
two samples of the same element differ.
15 point activities:
·
Make
vocabulary flash cards and learn the definitions from
either text. Oral defense.
·
What
is a hydride? What are its practical applications?
·
Describe
how neon lights are made.
·
Make
a short time line of the discovery of neon gases.
·
Read
Psalm 119:119a; Proverbs 25:4-5; and Malachi 3:2-3.
What do these passages mean? Why did the writers of
the Bible use these images?
·
Make
a collage showing the properties and uses of alkali
metals. Please draw the pictures or use photographs
that you shoot. Use all the alkali metals in the collage.
·
Make
a collage showing the properties and uses of alkaline-earth
metals. Please draw the pictures or use photographs
that you shoot. Use all the alkaline-earth metals in
the collage.
·
Chose
a metal from the periodic table and research it. Tell
how many valence electrons it has and how malleable
and ductile it is compared to other metals. Describe
how it conducts heat and electricity compared to other
metals and its common uses.
10 Point activities:
·
We
encounter examples of metals nearly everywhere. Write
a paragraph describing how a specific metallic element
has an effect in your life. Which group is that metal
in on the periodic table?
·
Compounds
called chlorofluorocarbons are used in refrigeration
systems. If released, these compounds destroy ozone
in the atmosphere. Draw the electron dot diagram for
CF2Cl2 .
·
Prepare
a bar graph comparing 10 nonmetals and nonmetals boiling
and melting points.

doctors prescribe a low salt diet, they often suggest
KCl as a salt substitute. Why does K work as a substitute
for NA?
·
Write
and illustrate a comic strip about hydrogen that conveys
its properties.
·

why oxygen and nitrogen occur in the air as diatomic
molecules, but argon, neon, krypton, and xenon occur
as single atoms.

The
density of hydrogen is so low that is can be used to
fill balloons to make them lighter than air. Why is
helium used more frequently?

Each activity is 30 points:
Conduct
one of these labs:
1)
Let’s
find out p92 in CSI.
2)
Production
of oxygen (get lab from me)
3)
Activity
12-1 Glencoe.
Complete
activity 12-2 in Glencoe.
Complete
the problem solving activity found on page 348 in Glencoe.
Research
and describe the use of silver compounds in photography.
Write
a newspaper article on asbestos. Research the source,
composition, and properties. What properties made it
suitable for use in construction in the past? How did
these same properties cause asbestos to become a health
hazard, and what is being done now to eliminate the
hazard?
Plants
need nitrogen compounds. Nitrogen fixing changes free
nitrogen into nitrates. Lightning and legumes are both
nitrogen fixing. Describe the process of nitrogen fixing.
What are the causes and effects of nitrogen fixing.
Coinage
metals got their name from their use as money, but many
things have been used as money throughout time.
Trace the history of money in North America from
the time of Columbus.
Research
the distribution of key metal ores around the world.
Create a classroom map showing your findings.
Research
the use of hydrogen as a nonpolluting fuel for autos,
buses, and planes.
