C. Lesson Proper/Presentation of the Lesson

1. To begin with the lesson, begin with the “Story of Your Name” activity.
Names are very important part of who you are. What do you know about your name? Where did it
come from? Is it significant in any way? What about its history?
2. Introduce the lesson by showing the periodic table of elements. The periodic table as we know today
is not the fruit of the labor of a single man rather than a collective effort of some of the most brilliant
mind ever.
Ask: Who are they?

3. Have each group briefly present its group of elements by summarizing the information they
discovered about the elements.
4. Give emphasis on how the symbols of the elements are derived as well as how the elements are
arranged and grouped together.
5. Post Activity Discussion;
Let the learner share the resut of their output.

D. Discussion (Indicate questions that will elicit answers from the students. Use HOTS as basis for formulating
questions)

Guide Questions:
1. How are elements named?
2. What are the rules for naming the elements?
3. What Letter Is Not Found on the Periodic Table?
 E. Generalization
Key Takeaways: How Elements Are Named
 Official element names and symbols are determined by the International Union of Pure and Applied
Chemistry (IUPAC).
 However, elements often have common names and symbols in various countries.
 Elements don't gain official names and symbols until after their discovery has been verified. Then, a
name and symbol may be proposed by the discoverer.
 Some element groups have naming conventions. Halogen names end with -ine. Except for helium,
noble gas names end with -on. Most other element names end with -ium.

F. Application
Are there any elements that are found in the school?
How do knowledge and understanding of elements impact different aspects of our lives?
The elements are the basis of all chemical interactions, and the implications of the ways in which atoms interact
are relevant to every aspect of our lives, from health to technology, energy, and the environment

READING PASSAGE: PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS

An element is a substance consisting of atoms that can no longer broken down into other substances, which
all have the same number of protons, which translates into its atomic number. Since there are more than 100
of these elements, chemists and other scientists needed a method of classifying them. This lead to the original
periodic table which was first proposed by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. Today it is called the
Periodic Table of Elements.

The current Periodic Table is a method for listing about 115 different elements. The elements are listed by the
structure of each element. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The Periodic Table
indicates the number of protons and electrons each atom has in its outer shell, located outside the nucleus.

On the Periodic Table of Elements, the atoms are listed from left to right and top to bottom. All of the
elements are listed in the order of their atomic number, which corresponds to the number of protons in each
atom's nucleus.

The elements are lined up in cycles or periods, which is why it is called a 'periodic' table. They are first lined
up in rows based on their atomic numbers, but then some columns are skipped so elements with the same
number of electrons line up on the same column. Elements in the same columns will then have the same
properties.

The seven or eight horizontal rows of the Periodic Table are called periods. The first period is the shortest and
has only two elements, hydrogen and helium. The sixth horizontal row or period contains 32 elements. The
left most element in a period, or row, has just one electron in its outer shell, and the right most element has a
full shell.

The eighteen vertical columns are different groups and each have different properties. An example of a group
is the gases called noble or inert. They are lined up in the final (18th) column or group of the Periodic Table.
Each of these elements have a full outer shell of electrons, which mean they are very stable. When an element
is stable they usually do not react to other elements. They don't mix well or easily.

A second example are the metals called alkali. They align in the first column, or group, and are all very similar
having only one electron in its outer shell. These elements are very reactive, meaning they easily mix with the
other elements.

The classification of grouping of these elements help chemists and other scientists understand, foresee, and
predict how the different elements will react with each other during experiments or in other situations.

Finally, each element has a name and a one or two-letter abbreviation to make it easier for scientists to use
the table. Some of the single-letter abbreviations are easy to remember, like H for hydrogen, O for oxygen,
and C for carbon. Some may be a bit more difficult because the name of the element comes from a different
language. For example, AU is the abbreviation for gold because gold comes from the Latin word aurum.

In summary, the Periodic Table of Elements is a helpful and useful tool for chemists and scientists. It is used
as a quick method to discover how the different elements will react to each other.

ACTIVITY: ELEMENT SCAVENGER HUNT
An element symbol is an abbreviation for the name of an element. A symbol can have one or two letters. The first
letter of a symbol is always capitalized. The second letter (if there is one) is never capitalized. Symbols for the naming of
elements are part of an international language. Chemists all over the world use the same symbols. .

A. Complete the following table by filling in the missing word or symbol.

B. The elements in the following table are ones that have symbols that come from their Latin names. See how
many Latin names you can get right in this table. Study the element symbol, then pick the Latin names from the
list in the last column of the table.

C. Four of the elements are named after planets. Complete the chart below for the elements named after planets.
