First Six weeks Benchmark
These are the questions from the Science Olympics in class today. If you can answer these questions you should be ready for the benchmark test.
Science Six Week Test Review

Parts of the Atom and Periodic Table of Elements
Parts of an Atom Study Guide
Protons – Positively charged particle found in the Nucleus of an atom
Neutron – Neutral (no charge) particle found in the Nucleus of an atom
Electron – Negatively charged particle found moving around the outside of the Nucleus
in energy levels (electron shells)
Atom – the smallest unit of a pure substance.
Element – a substance that contains only one kind of atom. Most elements are solid.
Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons
Atomic Number = number of Protons
Number of Protons = Number of Electrons (positives = negatives)
**** Students should be able to …
Draw a model of an atom if given information on which element it is, or if given
enough information to figure out which element it is!
Calculate Protons, Neutrons and Electrons.
Label a diagram to include, Nucleus, energy level, protons, neutrons and
electrons. ( we did this on the worksheet and notes (atomic structure notes
and What’s in this thing.
Periodic Table Study Guide
Dmitri Mendeleev is the father of the Periodic table – he came up with the first Periodic Table of Elements.
Horizontal rows (Left to right) are called Periods. Each element in that row has the same number of energy levels (electron shells). Period 1 (H and He) have only 1 energy level, Period 2 (Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne) have 2 energy levels), Period 3 has 3 energy levels and so on. There are 7 periods on the Periodic Table of elements.
Vertical rows (up and down) are called groups or families. Each element in the family or group has the same physical properties (how it looks) and the same chemical properties (how it reacts with other elements). This happens because each element in that family or group has the same number of electrons in the outside energy level and that determines how something will react.
Elements on the left side of the periodic table are very reactive (sometimes violently) when mixed with other elements, as you move to the right, the elements become less reactive.

3rd week review test
Things to Know!
1. Safety rules
2. Safety Symbols
3. How to calculate density (density = mass/volume)
4. Objects with a higher density will sink, objects with a lower density will float
5. Names of equipment and what they are used for
6. How to read an MSDS sheet
7. How to handle an emergency in the lab (notify the teacher immediately)
8. Variables (independent = Manipulated = what you change in the lab) (dependent= responding= what changes because of what you did!) (controlled or constant = does not change)
9. Graphing variables (DRY MIX) dependent or responding on the y-axis, and manipulated or independent on the x-axis.
10. Know the steps of the scientific method
