Vladimir the Science Reindeer!

Introducing.....


Vladimir will be visiting our classroom tomorrow and will be bringing with him some super fun challenges!  

Vladimir the Science Reindeer has dropped in to visit this season.
He brings with him some quests for us and each challenge has a
special reason.
Vladi is from the cold North Pole where he assists that red-suited man.
He needs our help to problem solve and for us to do all we can!
Accept these challenges as a team and join in the competition.
Do your best and learn a lot as you enjoy this new tradition!

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.
