Author: Obadiah Groft

The Hunt

Teams of 4-5 will be divided into two roles:

1) 2-3 of your team will be Vultures: using superior eyesight to search the room for the elements. While hunting, you will use your iPad for two things: a. Record a video of your seach.
                  b. Take a picture of each element and post it to your teams Padlet Wall.

2) 2 of the team members will be Racoons: Using wit and cunning to organize the pictures of elements on the Padlet wall into their proper arrangements according the Periodic Table of Elements. Then sending a link of the finished product to my email.

First team to get me their correct Table of Elements, wins!

 

 

The Element Song

Tom Lehrer's Elements Song

Think about it:

Did the elements find themselves?

Did they organize themselves on the Padlet Wall?

Was energy and thought required to accomplish these two tasks? 

Homework

Before tomorrow, find, photograph, and post to the Padlet Wall six different elements found in common objectices. (Ex: Au/Ag in a wedding ring)
