MEET THE ELEMENTS!. PROJECT. Elements. All elements are abbreviated using a capital letter, and sometimes a lowercase letter. Ex: Ca = Calcium N = Nitrogen H = Hydrogen Li = Lithium. In the next slide, you will see the chemical formula for the household items we cut out yesterday.

MEET THE ELEMENTS! PROJECT
Elements • All elements are abbreviated using a capital letter, and sometimes a lowercase letter. • Ex: • Ca = Calcium • N = Nitrogen • H = Hydrogen • Li = Lithium
In the next slide, you will see the chemical formula for the household items we cut out yesterday. • Please pick 6 elements from the household objects you would like to research.
CHEMICAL FORMULAS • Ammonia 2. Borax 3. Moth Balls 4. Alcohol 5. Cream of Tartar • NH3 Na2B4O7C6H4Cl2C3H8OKC4H5O6 EXAMPLE: I will find information about the elements C, H, and K • 6.

Instructions • You will be using your periodic table, please take it out. • For each element complete a box with the following information: • Name of the Element • The Element’s Symbol • The Atomic Number • The Atomic Mass • 3 Properties of this element (is it shiny? Malleable? Heavy? Metal?) • 3 common/household substances your element can be found in • Use the pictures you cut out! • Write the chemical formula next to the picture. • For #5 and #6 you may use your technology to look up the element. • This will be posted in the school hallways so be sure it is neat and complete!
Step 1 • You will be using your periodic table, please take it out. • For each elementfind the following information: • Name of the Element • Ex: C = Carbon • Cl = Chlroine
Step 2 • For each elementfind the following information: • The Element’s Symbol • Ex: The symbol for Carbon is C • The symbol for Fluorine is F
Step 3 • For each elementfind the following information: • The Atomic Number • Ex: The atomic number for Silicon is 14
Step 4 • For each elementfind the following information: • The Atomic Mass • Ex: The atomic mass of Silicon is 28.086 • Click the next slide to see a BIG periodic table
Step 5 • For each elementfind the following information: • 3 Properties of this element • (is it shiny? Malleable? Heavy? Metal?) • 3 common/household substances your element can be found in • Use the pictures you cut out! • Write the chemical formula next to the picture. • For these steps you may use this website: http://www.ptable.com/ and this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy0m7jnyv6U • This will be posted in the school hallways so be sure it is neat and complete
