Fruity Pebbles Ionic Bonding Practice
For the given elements you must complete the ionic bonds. An example would be Potassium and Fluorine. Potassium has 1 valence electron and Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. Fluorine needs one more electron. And that electron can be given by Potassium. So they bond forming KP (k+1 p-1). You continue bonding the rest of the elements to form new compounds.

Path to the Periodic Table
This image shows my final result after the activity. I sorted them in different columns. Starting from the left I did three columns of "solids" and then metals, and then metals that react with water, and then the semiconductor metalloids, the flammables, the reactive gases, and the unreactive gasses. So they're grouped based on their properties. Except bromine, gallium, and hydrogen had some mixes and/or exceptions that didn't quite go with my organization and I wasn't going to let them mess me up so I put them near where they should go but didn't exactly fit. I also listed them from lowest atomic mass at the top to the highest atomic mass down the column. This organization is different than how I had ordered them in class which was alphabetically but I decided to redo it because I didn't feel like a)that was challenging and b) it wasn't significant.
Charmemes
In this fun and creative project, we created some memes! Corresponding to the chemistry syllabus, that is, and a chemistry pun to bring a smile on Mrs.Parson.
We got our pun idea from the section "Rules and Expectations" under "My three things". It read, "Bags on floor, keep clean desks." So my partner and I came to a conclusion that we put our backpacks under our desks so students won't trip over them. And we were inspired by a similar meme representing accidents.
