Drawing a Neutral Atom

2009 Chemistry Games

I am challenging all Crazy 8s (and other Earthlings that have access to our blog) to achieve greatness in the 1st-ever Chem Games. Use the following links to earn (as many points possible) and learn (about the individual elements and their chemical symbols, subatomic particles, and placement on the periodic table). These websites can help reinforce your knowledge of atoms and the periodic table, concepts that we have started (and will continue) to learn about during our chemistry unit.

Here are the links:
Element Flash Cards (set up the game so that it tests you on the 33 elements you are supposed to know) Non-Crazy 8 visitors can view this link to find out what those elements are.
Element Math Games
Periodic Table Activities
Setting the Periodic Table
Element Matching Game
Fun Brain Periodic Table

Feel free to share your high scores, along with the game and its conditions, in the comments section of this post. Post your scores with honesty and integrity. As always, these are virtues required of Crazy 8s and others that visit our blog. Gold medals in the 2009 Chem Games are at stake! Good luck!

For the Standard Check tomorrow....

You might want to answer some of these questions. The correct answers will be visible to you when you click on the "comments" link of this post. Good luck to all.

Introduction to Earth Science

This VoiceThread includes a brief description of what the Crazy 8 students have been doing in science so far (At this point, we are three weeks in). I really enjoyed hearing each and every one of the comments that were made and prepared in groups last week. Only one comment per slide was chosen for viewing on this blog. You are invited to turn the volume up on the computer, press play, and listen to what the Crazies have to say.
