BIG IDEA OF UNIT


In student language, why is it important to teach this lesson? Put this in language so easy to
understand that a fifth grader would be able to understand it.
The periodic table contains all the information you need to solve many problems in this class
and in the real world. It explains why matter interacts with our world the way it does.
HISTORY OF UNIT:
What is your history with this unit? Have you taught it before? Is it new or are you redesigning
it?
I have taught this unit many times before and I am redesigning it.

WHY:
Tell me why you picked this unit? Why is it important to you?
The periodic table IS chemistry- it contains a wealth of vital information that explains most of
what we learn the rest of the year. The periodic table is the single most useful tool a scientist
can use to understand why matter acts the way it does and is the basis not only for chemistry
but for all sciences. It contains all the information- understanding how to use this tool is a
very basic need.

UNIT SUMMARY
UNIT OVERVIEW
Give an overview of the unit in your own words (use simple words)
The periodic table contains lots of information we need to understand how matter interacts in
our world. The tables trends, explained with atomic theory, along with groups, families, and
metals/nonmetals/metalloids are all vital bits of information we will use all year.
PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION(S) FOR CONTENT

STANDARDS AND/OR COMPETENCIES


Standards are like the building code. Architects and builders must attend to them but they are not the purpose of
the design.
Code
STANDARDS AND/OR COMPETENCIES [C]:
What content standards or competencies will this unit address?

II.1

The placement of elements on the Periodic Table gives an indication of physical


and chemical properties of that element. The elements are arranged in order of

II.2.a
II.2.b

increasing atomic number.


The Periodic Table is divided into groups, families, and periods.
Elements can be classified by their properties and located on the Periodic Table
as metals, nonmetals, metalloids, and noble gases.

II.3

Elements with similar properties are placed in the same column on the Periodic
Table due to their similar electron configuration and valence electrons.

II.4

The electron configuration of an element can be written by its position on the


table.

II.5

The repeating patterns in various elements electron configurations within the


same group and also across the same period demonstrate characteristic trends in
atomic radius, ionic radius, electronegativity, first ionization energy, and
metallic/nonmetallic properties.
TRANSFER

What does the student need to be able to do in the future (perhaps in their career) in an environment that is
different than the classroom without the support of the instructor?

Stage #1: COURSE INTRODUCTION

MEANING
An understanding is an idea that results from reflecting on and analyzing ones learning: an important
generalization, a new insight, a useful realization that makes sense out of prior experience or learning that was
either fragmented or puzzling. An understanding is not a fact (though it may sound like one) but a theory in the
broadest sense; it is the result of inference- the developing and testing of ideas by learners, with teacher
assistance, as needed- culminating in an idea that seems useful and illustrative to the learner (Wiggins &
McTighe, 2011, p. 14).

location on the periodic table.
Students will give thorough
background on element,
explain why it belongs on the
table where it does, predict
how it will bond with other
elements, and share its current
uses in the world around us.
Basic Context: (You and your
classmates have been tasked
with creating an online, virtual
periodic table for use by an
online, homeschool chemistry
class. Your goal is to make
learning about your element
engaging and straightforward.
You have also been asked to
create a periodic table wall
display for the current 8th grade
teacher to use in her physical
science classroom. You will be
assigned an element and will
work with your classmates to
create finished products.)

A rubric will be used to assess the content


of the power point. Students will
demonstrate understanding by providing
detailed knowledge of the chemical and
physical makeup of the element, and will
predict not only its reactivity but explain
why it acts as it does. Discussion of
electron configuration and placement
(Aufbau) should be present. Real world
sources and uses of the element need to be
mentioned and images provided. Graphic
display must be attractive, accurate,
comprehensive, well-crafted and original.
Interactive activities will be included.
