Teaching Chapter 19 Google Presentation Activity- Element Families
Chapter 19: Elements and their Properties- knowing the different physical and chemical
properties for the different Families on the Periodic Table.
Your teacher will be assigning you to a group. Your group will be assigned a certain family from
the periodic table to read and research. Read the information on your family in your textbookusing chapter 19. You will want to use the reading guide that Mr. Trower provides you to ensure
that you have taken all the notes from your textbook that are important. You may also use the
chrome books to research your group a bit more once your textbook work is done. Your group
will use the notes taken from the textbook and the internet to form a Google Presentation on the
chrome books. Your Google Presentation will be shared with everyone in your group and Mr.
Trower. Your group will present your knowledge of your element family to the rest of the class.
It is your job to educate your peers on your assigned family. A hard copy should be printed out
as well!! (just in case)
