PRELIMINARY

Good afternoon everyone, and welcome again to Good morning Sir!

our online science class! I am Joshua Mark A.
Bautista, Sir Josh your teacher.

Before we start, may I request Ms. _______ to In the name of the Father and of the Son
please lead the prayer? To our Christian brothers and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
and sisters, let’s do the sign of the cross. In the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, Amen.
Yes sir, Thank you.
Thank you everyone. Now let me check the

ENGAGE (Picture Analysis)
Look at the image, if this was your table how would I think I will arrange the things in that
you arrange them, would it be according to size, image according to their size sir since it

organize them if it would be according
to their size.

How do you arrange your clothes and shoes at We stack them up sir. We organize

your things? the smallest at the top.

Good. Do you think it’s important that we practice organize. We always know where to

arranged properly.

*Students raises their virtual hands. Yes

Very good. But, do you really help organize at your sir. I also arrange and sort my things at
house? Can I see some raise of hand if you do so? home like that.

It’s the periodic table of elements sir.

Okay, now take a look at this another picture. Can
anyone tell us what it is?
Very good. It’s the periodic table of elements. But
my question would be- do you think the periodic
table of elements is arranged in the same manner as
how you arranged the things in the previous
picture? And why do you say so?
I think the periodic table of elements sir
is also arranged in a manner similar to
the previous picture because the
elements’ atomic number and atomic
mass of the element increases from left
to right.

*Students raises their virtual hands. Yes

Very good. They are arranged in a pattern according

The father of the periodic table sir is

So this is now the periodic law. Can anyone recall
what this law is about?
Yes sir.
Very good. Now let us try to observe some common
features, similarities, and properties among the
elements.
Done sir.
Kindly put out your periodic table of elements or
your electronic copy. If you don’t have a copy, just

periodic table:

not. Na falls at family Ia, does it have a VE of 1?

How about the latter element, Rb, what is its VE?

electron are arranged together and are
 called family or group.

Very good. Families like alkali metals possess the
same VE. Which also explains their reactivity.
Some are extremely reactive and some are not.
Okay. Let’s try to find out if you still remember
your lesson in grade 7 about element reactivity.
Which family do you think is extremely reactive,
and which family is non-reactive? And why?
Yes sir.
I think the family that is extremely
reactive are the once found on the left
side of the periodic table, which are
alkali and alkaline earth metals.
Meanwhile the family that is most
likely are non-reactive are the once on
the right, the noble gases.

Yes sir.
Very good. Now, let’s go to period. This tells us the

far?

EXPLAIN (SORTIFY: Elements of The Periodic

Table- Web Application)
https://www.brainpop.com/games/sortifyelementsoftheperiodictable/
Yes Teacher.
Since the periodic table is mostly sorted we will
have a fun game sorting the periodic table of
elements. Okay sir.

Now, as a class we will sort elements whether they

are metals, non-metals, or metalloids and we will
also determine the number of valence electron
through this application which I will share. The elements:
Metal Non-metal Metalloid
The elements are: Mercury, Sulphur, Tin, Sodium,  Mercury  Sulphur  Silicon
Lithium, Chlorine, Oxygen, Calcium, Iron, Carbon, (Hg) II (S) VI (Si) IV
Iodine, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Fluorine, Gold,  Tin (Sn)  Chlorine  Boron (B)
Potassium, Hydrogen, Helium, Aluminium, Lead, IV (Cl) VII III
Neon, Silicon, Boron, and Nitrogen  Sodium  Oxygen
(Na) I (O) VI
 Lithium  Carbon
(Li) I (C) IV
 Calcium  Iodine (I)
(Ca) II VII
  Iron (Fe)  Phosphoru
VIII s (P) V
 Magnesiu  Fluorine
m (Mg) (F) VII
II  Hydrogen
 Gold (Au) (H) I

 Aluminiu VIII

 Lead (Pb)

Process Questions: Student responses:

1. How did you find the activity difficult?
2. How did you know which one is a metal,
metalloid, and non-metal?
3. How did you predict the elements’ valence
electron?
4. Do you think the periodic table’s
arrangement has something to do with its
Valence electron? Explain?
5. Do you think the periodic table’s
arrangement has something to do with its
period? Explain?
Do you have any question so far?
ELABORATE (Google forms-to be posted in
LMS) (link to follow)
1. Easy sir. It was easy because we
have the periodic table as our
guide in answering.
2. We simply refer to the element’s
position in the periodic table of
elements sir.
3. By pin pointing to what period
does the element falls sir.
4. Yes sir, every family shows that
they end at the same valence
electron. So all of the elements
in a family ends the same.
5. Yes sir, the period on the other
hand tells us the maximum
number of orbitals an element or
atom would have, as seen in the
Bohr’s model.
None sir.

Now, let us try to get to know the families of the Yes sir.

with a knife, these metals start with
lithium (Li) and end with francium (Fr).
They are also extremely reactive and
will burst into flame or even explode on
contact with water, so chemists store
them in oils or inert gases. Hydrogen,
with its single electron, also lives in
Group 1, but the gas is considered a
non-metal.

periodic table, from beryllium (Be)
through radium (Ra). Each of these
elements has two electrons in its
outermost energy level, which makes
the alkaline earths reactive enough that
they're rarely found alone in nature. But
they're not as reactive as the alkali
