Chemistry: exploring the atom, the ion, and isotopes

For activity 1, You will be required to fill out the electrons worksheet and the element grab bag table as a group.   The element grab bag table will be presented orally to the class.  Each member of the group should present at least one of the elements found in the grab bag.  Include information from the table and any additional information found.   The group will be evaluated for thoroughness.  Please use lots of detail about your element.  This is worth 40 points.

For activity 2,  the group will need to fill out the worksheet provided.  This will be turned in to the teacher.  The groups favorite ion will be presented to the class.  Details about the ion and how the group arrived at the atomic structure should be part of the presentation.  This is worth 25 points. 

For activity 3, The group will record all information from the lab in a table form and in complete sentences where appropriate.  All questions must be answered appropriately to demonstrate understanding of the lab.  The summary paragraph will show that the group understands what isotopes are and how they relate to the lab.  This is worth 35 points. 

This will be a common grade.  Each person in the group will receive the group grade, since this is a lab activity. 
Below, under resources, there is a rubric table that will give you a break down of how your work will be graded.
