1. Warm-up: Chemcatalyst, pg. 89.
2. Collect/assign homework.
3. Review Big Idea, review where we’ve come from (from nucleus and now back out to electrons). CHANT the parts of the periodic table! (i.e. “Columns are valence e-!” “Rows are # of shells!” “Valence e- are in the outermost shell!” “Atomic # = # of protons!” “Protons are Positive and have the Power to determine what element the atom is!” “Mass # - atomic # gives you neutrons!” and so on.
4. Review chemcatalyst, pg. 89.
5. Review and model lab
6. Lab #5: You Light Up My Life (pgs. 89-91 in textbook).
