What characteristics can scientists use to tell elements

apart?

An atom is made of?

What kind of charge does a proton have?
What kind of charge does a neutron have?
Warm Up What kind of charge does an electron have?
The center of an atom is called the?
Which particles reside in the center of an atom?
Where in the atom are electrons located?
 You are now sitting with someone who got the
same score on the warm up as you
Before literacy task, we learned about protons,
atoms, elements, and the periodic table
Today, we are going to review those topics so that
we ace the school-wide quiz about atoms (again!)
Objective: Atom

 Fill in the blanks to complete the element key.
Hint: the answer to this shows the number of
should be protons, electrons or neutrons and
the answer to it is also known as the should
be the name of that specific measurement.

Creating a What is a compound?

compound
How do compounds form?
 Find a partner with the other element from
this list to create a compound. You may sit at
either one of your desks. Then, put your
individual element models together to create a
compound.
Create a
compound Lithium (table 1) + Fluorine (table 7)
Sodium (table 2) + Chlorine (table 8)
Beryllium (table 3) + Oxygen (table 6)
Magnesium (table 4) + Sulfur (table 5)
 Lithium + Fluorine =LiF
Sodium + Chlorine = NaCl
Beryllium + Oxygen = BeO
Magnesium + Sulfur =MgS

Create a Look up the following properties for your

compound individual elements. Then look them up for your
compound
A. State of matter
B. Color
C. Poisonous or not?
