Summative+Assessment

The Periodic Table Summative Assessment gives students an opportunity work with a team to sort elements as they are sorted on the periodic table and use the patterns of properties to predict the properties of a missing element. This task is similar to Dimitri Mendeleev's process of making the first periodic table. After the team task, students will individually continue to evaluate and predict the properties of their missing element from the team activity in paragraph form. Students are asked to justify their statements in the paragraph with information or data to prove their point, an important skill in scientific writing. Finally, students will complete a peer evaluation of a partner's paragraph. The students will use a peer's feedback about their paragraph to edit and complete their final draft. This task models the process of peer reviewed scientific literature.
