Families

Requirements For Each Slide • Each element should have its own slide that includes the following: – Number of protons, neutrons & electrons – - A description of the "personality of the element"and "its outward appearance"- include physical properties of the element, uses of the element, chemical properties of the family-example: his favorite color is gray; is a loner (doesn't react with others); like to work with electricity (the element might be used in electronics). They will be describing the element as if it were a member of a human family. Each page would be a different family member (element).

Requirements for Each Slide – Found in nature or lab – What is it found in/used for? – 2 pictures (anything related to the element) – Put your name on the slides you create

Putting it together • When all of your groups slides are done, you will put it together into 1 slide show. • Include an extra slide which tells what all elements in your family have in common. • Your group will present to the class.
