Below are the materials for this unit.
In this unit, students will learn about the Periodic Table and how to use it in our chemistry work. The unit begins by bridging what we've learned about atoms and then progresses on to understanding how it can be used as a tool to predict how molecules form. The lab experiments for this unit are designed to give students an initial exposure to ions and their properties in preparation for Unit 6 in two weeks.
Below are the materials for this unit.

This article was called "'Super-Earths' may be dead worlds: Being in habitable zone is not enough", and I found it on the website, "Science Daily". Basically, what is says is that certain planets exist orbiting other stars that are in the 'habitable zone'--the optimal place in the solar system for water to potentially be able to form. We look for signs of life or the possibility for life on these planets which we call "super-Earths". However, new research suggests that for certain planets in these habitable zones, being in the perfect place is not enough. When these planets' cores are too large, the atmosphere becomes incredibly thick, and is too heavy to and high-pressure to support life as we know it. Scientists say that it would be nearly impossible for life to exist in these places. Two examples we have just discovered are the Kepler-62e and -62f, which we found--you guessed it--with the Kepler space telescope.

This article is about plasma plumes and how they can shield our planet from potentially hazardous solar storms. This works due to a magnetic reaction between low-energy plasma and the magnetic fields of the sun, thus slowing the effects of a process known as magnetic reconnection. This slowing lessens the effects that solar storms could possibly have on our planet. Scientists have been studying this plasma plume phenomenon in ground based technology involving satellites that send data about the events that take place on a solar level and how these plasma plumes react.

The article is called "High-Tech Manhole Cover." This article is mainly about these manhole covers that can wirelessly charge electric cars from them being parked over them, The idea is being introduced and it is only in New York at the moment. At this stage, they say that the charger is not substantial to give it a full charge.

I'm not too sure how I found this article, I was just browsing the web and clicked on a link that said, "Top Ten Emerging Technologies of 2014" From there I clicked on another link that sent me to this article, which is about what scientists are calling "Brain-Computer Interfaces".

I found this article under the Psychology section of Reddit Science.

This article is about the gut feeling we get when we are scared. It was talking about how in a scary situation the feeling we get in our stomach is because our stomach is connected to our mind and our mind is signaling to the stomach that something is about to happen. The scientists did an experiment with a group of rats, what they did was that they cut out specific nerves so the rats were able to receive information from their abdomen to their brain but not from their brain to their abdomen. This made the rats less fearful about the situation the scientists put them in.

Hey michael, this isn't really based on this unit but thanks for a study guide to help memorize the table and better understand it.

This articular is about the temperature. The hottest mouth of 2012 was May. It talks about how the temperature has changed over the years. Normally I feel it is hotter in July but May is normally hotter. This caught my eye because I like to know what is going on with our world. And how what we are doing is effecting it.

This article is about scientists able to now observe water at -51 degrees Fahrenheit, in which some of water's strange properties are amplified. I chose this article because even though water is simple, if there's a big banner on the front of a science news page that has this on, it's probably worth a This article is about scientists able to now observe water at -51 degrees Fahrenheit, in which some of water's strange properties are amplified.
