You will need to complete a Fact Sheet in addition to creating a model of your element. I would like you to type this information into a Google Doc. Click here to view the Google Doc. You will need to "Make a Copy" of this document before you can edit. Feel free to change the fonts and colors. After you're finished entering your info and you've checked your spelling you can share it with me: search for Lauren Hall (it's the email that says [email protected] - it has a picture of Beaker next to my name). Make sure that I "Can Edit"!
Use the following links to help you research the information you will need to complete your fact sheet.

- You can also use Google! Just type in your element name, plus the words "facts for kids." (For example "Hydrogen facts for kids")
Did you finish your Fact Sheet?
Are you sure? Are your facts in complete sentences? Is everything spelled correctly?
Then you can play Periodic Table games! (Or you can work on your homework. Or I have other Periodic Table worksheets you can work on.)
