![]() ![]() They will symbolize characteristics of the elements in terms of atomic radius, reactivity, ionization energy, and more with costumes, quotes, and personalities during the family dinner. Personality – Group members will become six elements of the group.Some periodic tables using 1a, 2a to 0, suggest there are 18 groups. Food – What kind of foods would be served in the alkali metal house? Would they have servers, or would the family members serve themselves? Groups are the arrangement of elements in the periodic table.Décor – What kind of art would be on the walls of an alkali metals house? What sort of books would be on their shelves? What clippings or pictures might be on the refrigerator? What trophies might be on the shelves? (Picture the “Wall of Gaylord” in the “Meet the Fockers” movie!).Required Invitation – What would an alkali metal include in an invitation to other elements? What type of invitation would an alkali metal choose? Include a meaningful address and RSVP method.The group members will personify the elements. The group is responsible for transforming the classroom into the family home with food, furnishings, decorations, and more. Logistics – Groups will have a single class period to provide a learning experience for the rest of the class.Ask each group to host a “family-style” dinner party. Main theme - Student groups of six are assigned one significant family or area of the periodic table: alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, halogens, and noble gases.I would love to hear your ideas and collaborate to build an exciting assessment. Combining creative ideas from an AP Lit project with my honors chemistry content, I am brainstorming about a more engaging, more challenging summative assessment on periodic table families. I want my students to experience the table and conceptualize its trends in a deeper way. A deep understanding of the periodic table is the most critical knowledge in chemistry. Science is creative it requires new ideas, new patterns, and new solutions to old problems. ![]() All the while, they say her assignments push the limits of their critical thinking abilities and bring out creative thinking talents they never knew they had. ![]() Students love her teaching style and line up to take her class. My good friend, an AP Literature teacher, inspires me to challenge my students (and myself) to think creatively. ![]()
