THINKING ROUTINE
​
Choose one element from the first 20 elements in Periodic Table #1--note its adjacent elements and position
Choose ONE of the other Periodic Table images on the right and below and look for the same element.--answer the following questions relating to the element's neighbors and position compared to Periodic Table #1
:
What do you see?
What do you think about that?
What does it make you wonder?
