A high school science teacher is developing a proficiency scale to measure
procedural knowledge of atomic structure based on the following standard:
HS-PS1-1: "Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of
elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of
atoms" (Next Generation Science Standards, 2012).
