We even EAT Elements
Today, we get to find the iron in our cereal!
Directions:
1. Gather materials. Make sure you use the cereal I sent home. It has a high iron content.
2. Pour the cereal in the bowl. You should have about 3/4 cup of cereal and it should cover the bottom of the bowl. Look at the color and texture of cereal and write it in your notebook.
3. Now pour a little bit of water on the cereal. Soak it just a bit. Now mash it.
4. Hold the magnet against the bottom of the bowl. Move the magnet around and around in a circluar motion. Keep the magnet against the bowl. What do you see? Write in your journal what you observed. Write at least three sentences of what you observed.
5. Now it is time to go to our periodic table (color). Start the video. Wait for the element iron to appear. Tell if it appears in the beginning, middle, or end of the video; this is the way for you to observe many elements on the table and view iron in its natural form.
6. What does iron look like in the color periodic table? Write a description in your notebook.
7. Now you get to view iron on the periodic table you will see on the STAR Test. Go to the periodic table (STAR Test), click here to go to the table.
8. Find Iron on the periodic table.
9. Write the Element Symbol and Atomic Number for Iron.
