Agenda
- Plot your assigned property against atomic number, by hand
- Skill as you go: Reading a Data Table — which column is which
- Post every graph on the board — what repeats, and how often?
- Name it: Periodic Trends — read against the shapes you drew
- Why the table is shaped this way: The Periodic Table as an Argument
- Discuss: Mistakes Are Data — the odd graphs were the useful ones
Things to do before our next class
- Read The Periodic Table as an Argument and mark one claim you would argue with.
- Journal: the trend you predicted, and the one the data showed.
