7-5.4 Use the periodic table to identify the basic organization of elements and groups of elements (including metals, nonmetals, and families).
It is essential for students to know how to use the periodic table to identify the basic organization of elements.
-A horizontal row on the periodic table is called a period.
-Every periodic table will have a square for each element with the atomic number, atomic mass, element name, and the element symbol.
-The elements on the periodic table are arranged numerically by atomic numbers.
-Families, also called groups, are vertical columns of elements on the periodic table; they are usually numbered 1-18. Elements in the same family have similar properties.
On the periodic table there is a zigzag line on the right side of the table. There are two sections of elements on the periodic table, metals and nonmetals.
Metals
- A major classification of elements generally located on the left side of the zigzag line on the periodic table.
- Examples of metals are: Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), and Aluminum (Al). The majority of elements are metals.
Nonmetals
- A major classification of elements generally located on the right side of the zigzag line on the periodic table.
Examples of nonmetals are: Chlorine (Cl), Oxygen (O), Sulfur (S), and Iodine (I).

Friday / 7-1.3 Explain the reasons for testing one independent variable at a time in a controlled scientific investigation.
Quantitative observations are observations that use numbers (amounts) or measurements (including the unit label) or observations that make relative comparisons, such as more than, all, less than, few, or none.
Qualitative observations are observations that are made using only the senses and refer to specific properties. / Engage: Detailed written Observations of Peanuts in the shell
Explore: After all the peanut have been collected and mixed together, have students see if they can re-identify their peanut.
