Unit Title: Properties and Structure of Matter Name: Jennifer Wong
Content Area: Chemistry Grade Level: 10-11 CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s): Current Chemistry Content Standards 1. The periodic table displays the elements in increasing atomic number and shows how periodicity of the physical and chemical properties of the elements relates to atomic structure. As a basis for understanding this concept: a. Students know how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. b. Students know how to use the periodic table to identify metals, semimetals, non-metals, and halogens. c. Students know how to use the periodic table to identify alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and transition metals, trends in ionization energy, electronegativity, and the relative sizes of ions and atoms. e. Students know the nucleus of the atom is much smaller than the atom yet contains most of its mass.
NGSS Performance Expectations 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.
NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter Each atom has a charged substructure consisting of a nucleus, which is made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. (HS-PS1-1) The periodic table orders elements horizontally by the number of protons in the atoms nucleus and places those with similar chemical properties in columns. The repeating patterns of this table reflect patterns of outer electron states. (HS-PS1-1)
Big Ideas: Structure of the atom consists of tiny nucleus in center that contains most of the atoms mass and a cloud of electrons. The periodic table is organized by increasing atomic number, energy levels of outermost electrons, and properties of the elements. Properties of an element can be predicted based on the outermost electron states of atoms. Properties of an element determine how atoms and molecules interact.
Unit Goals and Objectives: 1. Students will be able to demonstrate and explain how experimentation and observations have uncovered the structure of an atom. 2. Students will be able to construct a model of an atom of a given element that demonstrates the structure of the atom and relative sizes and positions of all subatomic particles. 3. Students will be able to explain how the periodic table is organized. 4. Students will be able to extract necessary information contained in the periodic table to describe an element. 5. Given a periodic table, students will be able to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
Unit Summary: Welcome to the Properties & Structure of Matter unit! In this unit, you will be exploring the structure of an atom as the building blocks of all matter, the periodic table and the elements within it, and use these understandings to predict properties of elements. This unit has been designed for an introductory level chemistry course for grade 10-12 students. Within this unit, there are three lessons. Each lesson will cover a key concept of this lesson. The first lesson consists of a teacher lecture through PowerPoint presentation and guided notes on the history and structure of the atom. By the end of the lesson, you will build a model of an atom of a given element. The second lesson is in the format of a webercise, designed for you to learn about the periodic table through a series of questions linked with useful sites. You will demonstrate your understanding through your response on the handout as well as the Quizlet Quiz. Lastly, the third lesson consists of a graphic organizer designed to help you gather key information about periodic trends. In order to complete this assignment, you must watch a series of videos on these trends. You will be asked to rank some elements based on their periodic trends in the future. At the end of the unit, you and a partner will create an element trading card poster in which you propose a plan to integrate a new element from another planet into the periodic table of elements. Before you begin any lesson, please review the content standards (current and NGSS), the big ideas, and the learning objectives. To keep our attention focused and directed towards key concepts, I advise you to review these goals every time you begin a lesson and every time you finish a lesson.
Assessment Plan: Entry-Level: Brainstorm and create a list of all things you know about the atom. Formative: Create a Model of an Atom Write two responses Quizlet Quiz Ranking Periodic Trends
Summative: Create an Element Project Lesson 1 Student Learning Objective: - Students will be able to demonstrate and explain how experimentation and observations have uncovered the structure Acceptable Evidence: Create an effective and accurate model of the structure of an atom with subatomic particles of protons, neutrons, and Instructional Strategies: Communication Collection Collaboration Presentation Organization Interaction Lesson Activities: 1. Teacher presentation. 3. Build an Atom activity. of an atom. - Students will be able to construct a model of an atom of a given element that demonstrates the structure of the atom and relative sizes and positions of all subatomic particles. electrons. Lesson 2 Student Learning Objective: - Students will gain an understanding of how the periodic table is organized. - Students will gain an understanding of the kinds of information contained in the periodic table and how to read the table.
Acceptable Evidence: Given any element and a periodic table, student can accurately draw the structure of an atom of the element (indicate number of protons and electrons of neutral atom), identify other atoms with properties, and classify the atoms as metal, nonmetal, or semi- metal. Instructional Strategies: Communication Collection Collaboration Presentation Organization Interaction Lesson Activities: 1. Webercise on Periodic Table. 2. Complete worksheet and short response.
Lesson 3 Student Learning Objective: Given a periodic table, students will be able to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
Acceptable Evidence: Given the number of electrons, students can accurately predict relative ionization energies, electronegativities, size, and reactivity.
Instructional Strategies: Communication Collection Collaboration Presentation Organization Interaction Lesson Activities: 1. Watch 4 videos on atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity. 2. Create a graphic organizer. 3. Discuss ideas.
