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? An element is a pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom distinguished by its atomic number. ** . **
 * 2) What are elements made of? Elements are substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances. ** . **
 * 3)  How are elements different from each other? The terms is also to refer to a pure chemical substance composed of atom with the same number of protons.  ****
 * 4) How many different elements are there? Scientist have know about 117 different elements some like gold,silver and copper and carbon these been know for thousands of years. Others: meitnerium,darmstadtium,ununquadium  ****
 * 5) In terms of chemistry--what is a property? A characteristic of a sample of matter that is fixed by its state. ** . **
 * 6) How are elements on the periodic table grouped? Why? Most groups are considered the most important method of classifying the Elements.  ** . **
 * 7) What are the vertical columns and the horizontal rows called on the periodic table? What are their significance? Vertical columns are called groups or families and horizontal are called periods.  ** **
 * 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.The top number is the atomic number. The atomic number tells how many protons are in one atom of that element.The large letter is the element's symbol, and below that is the element's name It is used to memorize symbols and names for elements. **. . **

=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.
