Unit 10: Periodic Table and Trends

Guiding Questions:

  • Why is the periodic table so important?
  • Why is the periodic table shaped the way it's shaped?
  • Why do elements combine? Why do elements react?
  • What other patterns are there in the world and how do they help us?

What you should learn:

  1. When elements are listed in order according to the number of protons, repeating patterns of physical and chemical properties result and can be used to make predictions
  2. The ability to create a model and then make predictions that prove to be correct, based upon that model, is what science is all about.
