Day 2: Periodic Table

Wednesday, June 6
Making The Complicated Clear......

 

OBJECTIVE:

I will work with my partner(s) to construct some organizing principle to our Periodic Table.

AGENDA:

1)  Discuss ways to sort.
2) By the end of today, you should have your guiding structure for the two axis for your chart.
3) You should also have at least 40 terms to work with for these two axis by tomorrow.
4) Juxtapose categories against each other;  decide what belongs, what needs to be added, etc.   terms on yellow stickies; start creating labels.
5)  Discuss the messiness of this process:  you may need to add terms, remove terms, change categories.
6)  Work time

HOMEWORK:

1) Fill out this form about dividing work.
2) Bring in materials (poster board, colored stickies / cards, etc.)  for last class day
3) Make sure you have your 40 terms on stickies for tomorrow!
