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 cannot be split chemically into simpler substances http://www.talktalk.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0009981.html
 * 2) What are elements made of? All elements are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_atoms_of_elements_made_of
 * 3) How are elements different from each other? their atomic structure http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Explain_why_elements_are_different_from_each_other
 * 4) How many different elements are there? As of October 16, 2006, scientists know of 117 different elements http://education.jlab.org/qa/element.html
 * 5) In terms of chemistry--what is a property? A characteristic of a sample of matter that is fixed by its state http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistryglossary/a/propertydef.htm
 * How are elements on the periodic table grouped? Why? Elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number (which is just the number of protons found in the nucleus of that element). http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_are_elements_arranged_as_they_are_in_the_periodic_table
 * 1) What are the vertical columns and the horizontal rows called on the periodic table? What are their significance? They are called **groups** or ** families http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_vertical_columns_or_families_or_groups_in_the_periodic_table **
 * 2) What are the features of the periodic table? (How do you read it?) The periodic table is arranged in the order of increasing atomic numbers of the elements. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_features_of_the_periodic_table

=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.
