HOW to study:

Here are 2 ways of how to study and I challenge you to keep trying these:

1. Make flashcards. Each flashcard would break down the information. For example, in the student’s notes, they should have:
Representative elements-are 8 groups on the periodic table that include metals, nonmetals and metalloids

Representative Elements
8 groups on the periodic tableFlash card #1 for Representative Elements
(Front and Back)

Metals, Nonmetals & Metalloids

What do Representative Elements include? Flash card #2 for Representative Elements
(Front and Back)


2. Make a quiz for yourself. Take each piece of information and change it into a question. Using the flashcard #2 for example. Or the following examples for Transition Metals: (these were written on the board today-many students didn’t copy them down L)

What metals create a bridge from left to right? Transition metals
What are transition metals good conductors of? Electricity
What groups do transition metals include? Groups 3-12
Do transition metals bridge the more reactive metals to the less reactive metals OR the less reactive metals to the more reactive metals? More reactive to less reactive.

Keep going over these several times

Find someone to ask them to you

Go back and study the ones you don't know

Have someone ask you again
