Lesson Title: Atoms, Elements & the Periodic Table

Terminal Objective: By the end of this lesson, each SWBAT explain the relationship between atomic number and atomic mass of elements on the periodic table. Content Standard: Arizona State Standards: Grade 8 Science Strand 5: Physical Science Concept 1: Properties and Changes in Properties in Matter PO 1: Identify different kinds of matter based on physical properties Language Standard: Stage IV Listening & Speaking (LI-9): Summarizing main ideas and supporting details from content area presentations and discussions

Time

Task Analysis (Sub-Objectives w/ Bloom)

Teaching Strategies
Bellwork: Present a written prompt (anticipatory set) to the students for their written response

Active Student Participation (Check for Understanding)

Each student will answer the following prompt in their composition books: When you have the flu, how do you know a virus is present even though you cant see it? What evidence do you have that the virus is having an effect on your health? Students will T/P/S with a partner.

10 min SWBAT describe their previous knowledge about the presence of matter and energy in the universe. Bloom: Knowledge

a. Each student will complete a set of guided notes that accompany the PowerPoint presentation. b. Students will use slates and markers to identify the parts of the atomic structure and location a. Class discussion: Each student will Think-Pair-Share their understanding of valence electrons and the electron cloud in relation to the size and location of the nucleus, and be prepared to share their understanding in class. a. Each student will complete a set of guided notes for determining atomic number and atomic mass. b. Each student will practice solving for missing atomic information on a partially completed grid of elements. a. Each student will write his understanding of atomic number and atomic mass in his composition book & be prepared to share with the class.

Bloom: Knowledge 15 min SWBAT explain the energy forces within an atomic structure.

Bloom: Understanding 15 min SWBAT will solve for the atomic number and atomic mass of elements found on the periodic table. Bloom: Application 7 min SWBAT explain the relationship between atomic number and atomic mass of elements on the periodic table. Bloom: Understanding

Lecture/PowerPoint presentation: Atomic Structure Note-taker Guided practice: Atomic Math Challenge Students will complete a partial grid containing missing atomic information. a. Closure: Each student will write his understanding of the relationship between atomic number and atomic mass of elements on the periodic table.
