Learning Competencies
The learners should be able to:
 Identify and describe the structure of atoms.
 Explain the different models of the atom.
 Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons of a particular atom.

Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students shall be able to:

 Solve problems involving in determining the number of protons, neutrons and
electrons in an atom.

  Establish an understanding of the significance of learning and studying the atomic
structure.

Before we formally start our discussion, let us have first an activity. The activity is entitled
“People Search”. What you have to do is to find a classmate who can answer one of the
questions on this piece of paper and have him/her to sign it. However, you cannot ask the same
classmate for another question, you should find another classmate to answer it. You are given
10 minutes to finish asking the five questions on the piece of paper. First three to finish are
given plus points for the seatwork later.

Now that you have gathered answers to the questions. Let us now talk about the answers
you’ve got. Can anybody share what you have found out regarding to the question number
one? (And so on…). As you can see, I am just taking jotting down your answers to the
questions, I will not answer it yet because I want us to answer it together as we go on to our
discussion that is why I want you to hold on to this worksheet for we will revisit it later and
confirm if the answers we had gathered are correct.

Development of the Lesson

1. Do an activity to serve as an introduction of the topic and also to help the teacher gauge
where the students are now and to identify misconceptions.
2. After the activity, discuss the questions and take down notes of the answers of the
students.
3. Formally introduce the topic by making a connection of the previous topic and the present
topic.
4. An advance assignment is given to the students wherein they are grouped and then
assigned to a specific model of an atom to which they are to research and present in the
class before the discussion about the different models of an atom.
4. Give the lesson proper using a PowerPoint presentation.

Atom, smallest unit into which matter can be divided without the release of electrically
charged particles. It also is the smallest unit of matter that has the characteristic properties of
a chemical element. As such, the atom is the basic building block of chemistry.

Most of the atom is empty space. The rest consists of a positively charged nucleus
of protons and neutrons surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The nucleus is
small and dense compared with the electrons, which are the lightest charged particles in nature.
Electrons are attracted to any positive charge by their electric force; in an atom, electric forces
bind the electrons to the nucleus.

Because of the nature of quantum mechanics, no single image has been entirely satisfactory at
visualizing the atom’s various characteristics, which thus forces physicists to use
complementary pictures of the atom to explain different properties. In some respects, the
electrons in an atom behave like particles orbiting the nucleus. In others, the electrons behave
like waves frozen in position around the nucleus. Such wave patterns, called orbitals, describe
the distribution of individual electrons. The behaviour of an atom is strongly influenced by
these orbital properties, and its chemical properties are determined by orbital groupings known
as shells.

Atomic model
Most matter consists of an agglomeration of molecules, which can be separated relatively
easily. Molecules, in turn, are composed of atoms joined by chemical bonds that are more
difficult to break. Each individual atom consists of smaller particles—namely, electrons and
nuclei. These particles are electrically charged, and the electric forces on the charge are
responsible for holding the atom together. Attempts to separate these smaller constituent
particles require ever-increasing amounts of energy and result in the creation of new subatomic
particles, many of which are charged.

5. In the lesson, in the calculation part of the protons, neutrons and electrons, some problems
are presented which are to be solved.
6. After the discussion, a seatwork will be conducted.
7. Make the students summarize what has been discussed.
8. Make the students reflect. This will serve as the closure.

 9. Quiz

Closure:
The students will answer the following questions in a size 4 sheet of paper:
 Two things that they have learned from this lesson.
 One question that they still have in their mind about the topic.
 One aspect/part of the class/session that they have enjoyed.

Content-Focused
1. Are atoms divisible or indivisible? Yes or No? Why?

Reflection Value-Focused
1. Do small things in our life matter/important? Why?
2. What values/attitudes shown by the scientists in the development of the atom, that
should we apply?

Internal Action
Appreciate the importance of learning atoms and its parts.
Action
External Action
To apply the concept of the atomic structure in life.

Seat Work
Different problems will be given. Some problems will be used for checking and recording.

Evaluation Quiz
A twenty (20) items quiz will be given.
