Introduction: 

The Periodic Table of the elements is an internationally useful tool for scientists and chemists.  It was originally devised by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1871 and is still in use today.  There are 92 naturally occurring elements on Earth and 116 elements in total listed on the table.  Each element differs from others only in the number of protons in the nucleus, these protons determine many of the physical and chemical properties of each element.  Every single substance made of matter on the Earth, and in the Universe as far as we know, is made from some combination of these elements.  Each substance has its own particular and special recipe.  You, your computer, the Earth and the sky above you are all made from this same simple list of ingredients. 

The Task:
The challenge is for the members of Science Team Franklin to create links to pages with specific information about each element on the Periodic Table.  Using Google Docs, you'll create a page which we'll link to each of the symbols in the table above. 

You are required to cover two elementsUse this document to sign up for an element.  Next to the number type your full name, and end with the name of the element you're covering.  The numbers on this sheet correspond to the Atomic Number for each element. (So if you chose the element Cobalt (Co), you would put your name next to number 27 (Cobalt's atomic number)).

START gathering your information by watching the Nottingham video for your element, take notes, and include at least some information from this video.  Put this information in RED on your google doc.  This will let me know that those facts came from the video.

Each poster must include the following information:  Element's Name,  Element's Symbol, Atomic Number, Atomic Mass, Common and/or industrial uses for the element, Date of discovery, Who discovered the Element, Other Brief yet Interesting facts about the Element such as its physical and chemical properties, and an image of the element, or of something made of the element. 

You must use the following resources to gather your information.  The ONLY acceptable use for Google will be to search for images, if necessary.


A very nice Periodic Table

Evaluation: When you're happy with the doc you created, and you've carefully checked the grading chart to be sure you have included all of the required information, SHARE it with me and I'll link it to the Periodic Table above.  Be sure to adjust your sharing settings so that anyone with the link may view your document.
