Grade Level : Grade 8 – Tanguile
Date & Time : May 18, 2022
Quarter : Third Quarter

I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standard Recognize the identity of an element according to its subatomic
particles.

B. Performance Standard Make an inventory of subatomic particles of given elements.

C. Learning Competencies Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons of an

atom.

Specific Objectives:
1. Recognize the identity of an element according to its
subatomic particles.
2. Make an inventory of subatomic particles of given
elements.
3. Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons
of an atom.

IV. PROCEDURES
B. Reviewing previous lesson or The teacher will show a periodic table of elements and asks
presenting the new lesson them about its salient features.

C. Establishing a purpose for the lesson Stating of lesson objectives.

D. Presenting examples/instances of the
new lesson
1. Recognize the identity of an element according to its
subatomic particles.
2. Make an inventory of subatomic particles of given
elements.
3. Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons
of an atom.
GAME
 Group the students into 5 and ask a representative to
answer the questions by writing it on the board.
 The teacher gives the name of the element.
 The student will write the symbol, mass number and atomic
 number.
The student who writes all the correct answer wins.

E. Discussing new concepts and The teacher shows a video about the three subatomic
practicing new skills #1. particles of an element.
Essential Question:
How do you determine the number of
neutrons, protons and electrons in a neutral atom?
Perform Activity No. 4 – What’s in a Number?

The students will perform an activity by group (the same

grouping with the previous activity). They will write their
answers on a Manila Paper and will later post it on the board. A
representative will report their findings.
Procedure:
 Refer to a periodic table at the end of the module. Use
the following tips in making the inventory of subatomic
particles of given elements.
 Locate the atomic number of an element in the
periodic table. The atomic number is the same with
the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
 The mass number can be determined by adding the
number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
 By knowing these, you can be able to identify the
element that is needed.
The students will answer the following guide questions:
1. What is the element with an atomic number of 15?
2. How many protons does the atom of this element have?
3. How many protons are there in an atom of aluminum?
4. Which element has the lowest number of protons in its
atom?
5. What is the atomic mass of magnesium? How about for
potassium?

F. Discussing new concepts and The students will complete the inventory table below using the
practicing new skills #2. tips presented above.
Atomic Mass
Element #p+ #e- #n0
Number Number
1. Carbon 6 12 ____ ____ ____
2. Arsenic ____ 75 33 ____ ____
3. Potassium ____ ____ ____ 19 20
4. __________ 20 ____ ____ ____ 20
5. __________ ____ 201 80 ____ ____

G. Developing mastery (Leads to Group Activity

Formative Assessment 3)
 The students will still be grouped the same with their
groupings from the previous activities.
 The students will construct an atomic model showing
the different subatomic particles.
 They will prepare the materials needed for the activity.

ATOM ASSEMBLY

Materials:
3 identical large plates
Calamansi fruits (will serve as protons)
Tino-tino fruits (will serve as neutrons)
Palay Grains (will serve as the electrons)

Procedure:
 1. Construct a model of an atom using the materials.
2. Let’s take boron as an example.
3. The atomic number of boron is 5 and the mass number
is 11. This means that boron has 5 protons, 5 electrons
and 6 neutrons.
4. Take 5 calamansi fruits and 6 tino-tino fruits and place
it at the center of the plate as the nucleus of the atomic
model.
5. Take 6 palay grains and place it around the calamansi
and tino-tino fruits and it will be the electrons of the
atomic model. And there you have it! Your very own
atomic model.
6. Now, try doing it yourself with the following
elements. Just choose 3 elements to be presented.
 Lithium
 Beryllium
 Chlorine
 Carbon
 Nitrogen
 Sodium
 Oxygen
 Fluorine
 Neon
7. Label the subatomic particles and write its symbol,
atomic mass and atomic number.

H. Finding Practical Applications of How can you apply the knowledge you learned today in your
concepts daily life?

I. Making generalizations and What have you learned from our discussion today?
abstractions about the lesson
J. Evaluating learning Complete the table below by filling up what subatomic particle
is missing, its atomic number, atomic mass and the missing
element (if any).
Atomic Mass
Element #p+ #e- #n0
Number Number
1. Magnesium 12 24 ____ ____ ____
2. Cobalt 27 ____ ____ ____ 32
3. __________ ____ 31 15 ____ ____
4. Sulfur 16 ____ ____ ____ 32
5. __________ 18 ____ ____ ____ 22

K. Additional activities for application Look for the meaning of the following terms. Write it on your
or remediation activity notebook.
1. Isotope
2. Ions
3. Anions
4. Cations
5. Nuclide
