To start it off, we will have a classwide activity. 5 points for all if the class succeeds. 0 points if the class fails. You will have the same instructions posted at each station. It will say something like this. Organize yourself in a five by five group. For each row, there is something in common OR there is an ascending trait. For each column, there is either something in common, OR there is an ascending trait. An ascending trait is a quantitative measure that keeps going up. For example, shortest to tallest or youngest to oldest. Write on the board what each quality or trait is when you are done. EXCEPTIONS: You cannot use any of the following. a) Nothing painfully obvious. We each have five fingers, we each have two feet. Ask b) Nothing that applies to race or ethnicity, unless that trait does NOT apply to anyone else in the room c) No using class rank. We are all in Conceptual Chemistry. We are all sophomores. d) No using age. . In a socratic questioning style, ask about the periodic table. What is it? What do you know? . Then, THE ELEMENT SONG First the normal one --> [] . Then the animation one --> [] . Memorize it for free candy! . . Demonstration; Bring 12 random cans or things of food from home (ideally 4 vegetables, 4 fruits, 4 soups) and see how would you organize them? Ask why would you organize them? . . Photocopy the first four pages. Read it (using random name generator) and discuss it. . . Reading should take more then 10 minutes. Ideally we are trying to break it up. . I will have a photocopy of questions for them to answer, assuming that we have time.
