Periodic Table – Homework Investigation
You will investigate elements from different groups on the Periodic Table to discover patterns and gain a deeper understanding of individual elements. You will discover why 
elements are grouped together and the differences between these groups.
You will uncover the mysteries of the Periodic Table, understanding why elements are grouped together and why groups are given particular names. You will choose a group and investigate its elements because you just never know when Praseodymium will come up in conversation and why its alloys are used in cryogenic refrigeration.
Things you must find out about:
- What is the name of the group you have chosen to study and why is this group of elements given this name?
- Why are these elements all put into this same group?
- What are the uses of the elements in this group?
- How reactive are the elements in this group?
- In addition to this, include any other information that you consider to be relevant or of particular interest.
Present your findings in one of the following forms:
-PowerPoint – You should consult the “what makes a good powerpoint presentation” for guidance.
-Poster
-Data sheet
You will be required to present your finding to your classmates and you will be given a 5 minute time slot to do this.
