OBJECTIVES AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Identifies areas of the periodic table

Identifies a "period area."
Identifies a "family area."
Identifies the line dividing the metals and nonmetals as the staircase.
Identifies which areas are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Identifies where these families are located on the periodic table: alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, chalcogens, halogens, noble gases.
Identifies where these groups are: actinides, lanthanides, and transition metals.

2. Recognition of the scientists and their contribution to the development of the periodic table.

Recognizes the contribution which Dobereiner made in the development of the periodic table.

Recognizes the contribution which Newlands made in the development of the periodic table.

Recognizes that Newlands developed the "law of octaves" as part of his organization of elements of the periodic table.

Recognizes Mendeleev's contribution to the development of the periodic table

Recognizes that Mendeleev developed the "Periodic law" as part of his organization of elements of the periodic table.

Recognizes Moseley's contribution to the development of the periodic table.

Explains why Seaborg modified the periodic table.

Recognizes that this was a process based on new data or a different interpretation of the information about the elements being available.

Distinguishes the differences in the contributions of selected scientists in the development of the Periodic table.

Distinguishes what information about each element each scientist used in the process of revision for the periodic table.

3. Classifies elements into various groups and families.

Recognizes which elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Recognizes which elements are alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, chalcogens, and noble gases.
Recognizes which elements are transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides.

4. Names the characteristics of the selected groups and families.

Distinguishes the characteristics of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, and noble gases.

Can name three different characteristics for each of the following: metals, nonmetals, metalloids; alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens and noble gases.

Distinguishes the characteristics of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

5. Defines of terms and definitions associated with the periodic table.

Defines what a period of elements is.
Explains the differences between a family and a period, in terms of their characteristics.
Defines the law of octaves.
Defines the Periodic law.
Defines "staircase" as it applies to the periodic table structure.
Defines what a family of elements is.

6. Applies knowledge contained on the periodic table of elements about the elements.

Identifies a specific element, when given information about the element that is contained on the Periodic table.

Recognizes that the atomic number is the same value as the number of protons or elements in an atom of that element.

Recognizes that the atomic number of an element is unique for that element.

Recognizes that metals and nonmetals are the major groups of the periodic table containing families.
