Introduction
During this WebQuest you will be researching elements and drawing atoms. You will be asked to complete tasks that you will be graded on.
Task
- You will need to memorize ALL 18 elements of the Periodic Table and later write down as many as you can without looking in 3 minutes. You will need to include the element and the symbol. (30 points) Here is a periodic table for you to study from. http://www.ptable.com/Images/periodic%20table.png
- The next activity will be to asked to choose and draw 10 atoms of your choosing y=using the planetary model. You will draw the atoms using the planetary model and will need to list the number of protons, neutrons, electrons. Then you will circle the valence electrons on your drawing.(10 points) Here is a link to a list of atoms. https://www.thoughtco.com/element-list-names-atomic-numbers-606529
- What have you learned? For your final assignment, you will need to complete a final test. There will be 25 multiple choice questions. Dun...Dun...Dun...! Here is your study guide. https://docs.google.com/a/student.academycharter.org/forms/d/1gRQ2juKa20ke2BfnjnNoyLoSLp7iDRG1D-pb4mpSg6w/prefill

Conclusion
What have you learned in this unit? I hope that you have learned a lot! Throughout this unit we have covered how to read a periodic table, how to memorize elements and their symbols, and how to draw and use Niels Bore's planetary model. We have also learned how to create atoms, classify atoms, and find atoms on the periodic table.
