  1. Chemistry Focus Activities Periodic Table 8th Grade The focus activities in this presentation are intended to provide students opportunities to:  interpret and analyze graphs  explain their reasoning when choosing an answer in multiple choice questions.

  2. Teacher Instructions • Choose from the focus activities provided and use as needed. Examples: • Segment the graphs and questions and use them individually or in pairs for warm-ups and exit tickets. • Incorporate the items as a group or individually into intervention strategies. • Methodically work through answers with students in support of building test taking/processing skills and assessing their logic (metacognition). • Follow-up questions could be used as prompts for journal entries. • Provide students opportunities to discuss their answers with their peers. • Round Robin (write/share/add-on/pass) • Rally Table (write/share/revise) • Quiz-Quiz-Trade • Numbered Heads Together (write/share/discuss/consolidate/represent) • A-B Pair Share • Shoulder Partner (think/pair/share) • Stand Up/Hand Up/Pair Up • Provide the STAAR Grade 8 Science Reference Materials (Formulas and Periodic Table of the Elements) as an anchor of support.

  3. Periodic Table (8.5B-C, 6.5A & C) • 8.5: Matter and energy. The student knows that matter is composed of atoms and has chemical and physical properties. The student is expected to: 8.5B: identify that protons determine an element’s identity and valence electrons determine its chemical properties, including reactivity. RC1 8.5C: interpret the arrangement of the Periodic Table, including groups and periods, to explain how properties are used to classify elements. RC1 • Review 6.5A: know that an element is a pure substance represented by chemical symbols. 6.5C: differentiate between elements and compounds on the most basic level. RC1 • Skills TEKS: 8.2D & E, 8.3A-C

  4. Interpreting Graphs Focus Activities

  5. Part I: Components of a Graph 1. What type of graph is represented?2. Label the x-axis with an “X” and the y-axis with a “Y”.3. What information is provided on the x-axis?4. What information is provided on the y-axis?5. Which axis represents the independent variable? What was the independent variable for this experiment?6. Which axis represents the dependent variable? What was the dependent variable for this experiment?7. What trends do you notice on the graph?8. Create a table from the information in the graph.

  6. Part II: Analyzing the Graph 1. What 2 chemicals make up the same weight as the total nitrogen produced? 2. Which chemicals are made in quantities between those of sodium hydroxide and oxygen? 3. How many pounds of nitrogen, ammonia, and chlorine are produced in a year? 4. Of the chemicals listed, what are the top 3 produced each year?
