TIME ALLOTMENT 180 minutes

PREPARED BY BERNAGEM T. TENIO

PROCEDURE
INTRODUCTION
 Presentation of learning objectives and key terms.
 Review
Recall and expound on how Dmitri Mendeleev created a classification of elements
based on their atomic weight. He found that organizing the elements at the time by their
calculated weight demonstrated a periodic pattern of both physical and chemical properties,
 such as luster, physical state, reactivity to water, and others.
MOTIVATION
 Using the symbols of the elements found in periodic table, construct a word that describes a
thing or someone.
Example:
Ne W NeW
(Neon) (Tungsten)

INSTRUCTION
 Briefly discuss the contribution of Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley in the arrangement of the
elements.
 Show illustrations of Mendeleev and Moseley’s version of the Periodic Table of Elements.
Let them compare the two versions.
 Present the modern Periodic Table of Elements and let students describe the differences
from the former versions.
 Lead the discussion on how the elements are arranged according to the system provided by
the IUPAC and North American Chemists.
Families/Groups (Rows/Horizontal Arrangement)
Periods/Series (Columns/Vertical Arrangement)
General Classifications
3 Categories based on Metallic Properties
 Show students how to easily locate elements using the system mentioned above.

PRACTICE
I. Supply the information needed.
ELEMENT SYMBOL
1) Argon
2) Carbon
3) Potassium

II. Find and write the symbol of the element.

1. Period 4, Group 4B
2. Period 1, Group 1A
3. Period 7, Group 4A

III. Supply the information needed. Write the symbol and name of the element.
METALS SEMIMETALS NONMETALS

III. List 2 elements found on the following:

A. s block
B. p block
C. d block
D. f block

ENRICHMENT
 Read the article entitled Discovering Synthetic Elements: A Promise or a Threat? on page
42 of the textbook. Write your insights on a ½ crosswise.
  Individual Library Work: Create an infographic (in a form of timeline) that describes the
historical development of the concepts of the chemical elements. In addition, the infographic
should also depict the forms of and uses of the most abundant elements on Earth.

Note: Use a long bond paper and other art materials for your infographic(timeline).

EVALUATION
 As an evaluation, a worksheet will be given to the students.
