Week 5 Agenda
For those of you who may have been following along, you will notice that this agenda has been edited to remove the lessons pertaining to density. Several of us have decided that we feel it necessary to introduce the periodic table in order to move into the first assessment on molecular modeling. However, we do not feel it is necessary to explicitly teach density since this is not one of our standards in middles school. This concept will be easily covered in high school.
In week 5, students use the IOS app Elements 4D to test predictions on the reactivity between elements. We will come back to this app in unit 2 when we begin chemical reactions.
Below is a video that shows how Soo Lee uses Elements 4D in her classroom.
