Pretest

The document contains a pre-test, activities, and post-test about the periodic table and the organization and properties of elements. The pre-test questions cover topics like the organization of the periodic table, properties of groups of elements, and scientists who contributed to the development of the periodic table. The activities involve matching scientists to their contributions and looking up element properties in the periodic table. The post-test again evaluates understanding of periodic table organization and element properties through multiple choice questions.
