Status update:

10/9-Stop throwing away natural beauty people! Obviously you recycle it! 

10/10- Touchy?! Oxygen is so rude! Frankly I'm glad those scientists tore us apart. Though electricity can really hurt. Who am I kidding...I miss her already!

10/11-Ever heard of a Car Wash?! I've got mud all over me! I mean its hard to notice the sparkle and dazzles of me when I'm covered up by filthy DIRT! 

11/4- GUESS WHAT! My game is back on track! Scandium and I make the best couple ever! TAKE THAT OXYGEN! 

11/5- Balancing equations is so much fun! Now we can all be equal. BUT I MISS THE POWER...I don't wanna be equal anymore. 

Overview:

I am the most abundant metal on this earth, and at one point I was worth more than gold because it was so hard to obtain me. I am never found alone because I am always in a compound. The way to extract me is to use electricity, which hurts a lot. I do not conduct electricity as well as copper, but I am fairly good. And I can be found in all three states of matter. My melting point is 1221 degrees F, and 4566 degrees is my melting point.

Activities & Interests:

I love everything with fashion, as you can probably see. I am very competitive, which you can tell by my numerous reactivity medals, it runs in the blood.Anyhow, I currently filmed another remake of the original movie Wizard of Oz(I was tin man). I am starting a career as a racer, we go to the track and race about everyday, but the tires always slow us down. Now that I think about it we may need a new driver too. I'm the only one that does the work! Some reactions I make are Aluminum Oxide which is me and oxygen. I also react with Magnesium and Titanium to make FIREWORKS!

Places:

10/9-My whole life is in a soda machine! Visit any time!

10/10-I can be found in about any castle...I am most of the gems and stones in it!

Create 2 photo albums:

• atom and bonding diagrams - these will be done in class and will take time
• fun images - pictures that contain the element

 - every photo must have a caption 

- tag other elements in the pictures
