Periodic Table Analogies Project

Learning About the Periodic Table

Our lesson topic this week was on the families of the periodic table.  My students were given "Periodic Parts" and had to place them together to best represent the periodic table.  They were instructed to color each family a different color or pattern.  Students also had to label the number of valence electrons each family/group has and the number of energy levels for each period.  Specific information was recorded for Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, the Halogens, and the Noble Gases.

The Planner Project

So I've decided to jump on the "teacher planner"bandwagon.  I tried to create my own last year and didn't follow through with it.  Now I'm getting serious about it ;)  I already have my daily lesson planning sheet.  All I need to do is make copies of it.  The cover has been created and I am quite pleased with it.  Today I will be making a list of all the things I'd like to include in the planner.  One thing I'm going back and forth on is binding.  Should I have it bound at Staples or just punch holes and place it in a three-ring binder?  Hmmm..decisions, decisions!


I will be posting the finished project on Teacher's Notebook once I have all the pieces complete.

Reading Quotes~

I am so pleased with how well these turned out!  There are some imperfections but I think that just adds character.  I plan to place these on the wall behind my very small classroom library.
