Do you lose stuff in your bedroom? Have you spent countless hours looking for that lost sock or that missing piece of Ms. Johnson's homework? If so, then you need ORGANIZATION! Science is all about organization. Your Mastery Assessment is to create an an infomercial with the purpose of selling the periodic table to a group of very unorganized scientists.

=What should you know?=
 * 1) What is an element? Substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. mccotter, yasmine. "Jefferson Lab." //educationjlab//. Web. 22 Feb 2010. .
 * 2) What are elements made of?atoms containing a single proten. mccotter, yasmine. "Jefferson Lab." //educationjlab//. Web. 22 Feb 2010. .
 * 3) How are elements different from each other? They have different electrons in them. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070907190257AAJlrMi
 * 4) How many different elements are there? 117 different elements http://education.jlab.org/qa/element.html
 * 5) In terms of chemistry--what is a property? observed when matter actually changes its identity. "overview." Web. 24 Feb 2010. .
 * 6) How are elements on the periodic table grouped? Why?The elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer orbital. mccotter, yasmine. "Elements as building blocks." //chem4kids//. Web. 24 Feb 2010. .
 * 7) What are the vertical columns and the horizontal rows called on the periodic table? What are their significance? The vertical columns are called families, and the horizontal rows are called periods. mccotter, yasmine. "Elements as building blocks." //chem4kids//. Web. 24 Feb 2010. <[]>.
 * 8) What are the features of the periodic table? (How do you read it). The Periodic table is designed to help you predict what an element's physical and chemical properties are. You can also predict what elements will bond with each other. brandon, baker. "How to read a periodic table and the features of it.." Web. 26 Feb 2010. .

=Mastery Assessment= //Deadline: 3/2/2010// Science Rocks, Inc. has hired you for a marketing assignment. You and your team have been tasked with creating an infomercial with the purpose of selling the periodic table to a group of unorganized scientists. They see nothing wrong with the way they keep their elements "organized" so you must point out every feature of the periodic table to prove to them they //need// this tool.
