December 6: New Prezi project and some homework!

Today we went over the homework form yesterday and looked at a quick Powerpoint over the Alkaline Earth Metals.  Then we started in on a new Prezi project.  The ids are supposed to take the first two columns of the periodic table (Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals) and construct a Prezi that includes all the relevant information for each element: Atomic mass, atomic number, symbols, melting points, freezing points, founder, when and where it was discovered, pictures of it in various states of matter and what it’s used for.  It doesn’t have to be exhaustive but I do want their work to show some effort and creativity.  Make it cool and fun.  Add videos if they can and some interesting stuff.  Powerpoints are the technology of the past.  They also have a short worksheet for homework on how big atoms are.
