1. Key Ideas

This capstone lesson brings the entire unit together so students can move from atom structure to periodic-table reasoning to practical explanation of uses.

the unit connects atoms, models, the periodic table and property-use reasoning
strong chemistry answers are evidence-based and connected

2. Success Criteria

By the end, you should be able to:

the unit connects atoms, models, the periodic table and property-use reasoning
scientific understanding guides selection and explanation
capstone answers should combine several earlier lessons
