The Atom

Cornell Doodle Notes TEACHER NOTES

These scaffolded Cornell Doodle Notes combine two effective note-taking strategies and can be used to introduce, teach, or
review the concept of an atom and the information about each element’s atom that can be found using the Periodic Table.
These notes cover the general definition of an atom, depict a very simplified version of the history of the atomic theory,
differentiate the subatomic particles proton, neutron and electron, by their charges, masses, and locations within the atom,
explain what isotopes are and how to write an element in isotopic notation (ex: Carbon-12), cover what can be learned from an
element’s square on the Periodic Table, and explain how to calculate the number of neutrons in an atom. At the end of the
notes, there is a “Sum It Up” section in which students practice matching the relevant vocabulary to definitions, label a sample
Periodic Table square, calculate the mass number of different atoms, and complete a chart that puts together all of the
information about the subatomic particles.
These notes can be used as part of the input for NGSS Disciplinary Core Idea PS1.A: Substances are made from different types of atoms,
which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms; and each atom
has a charged substructure consisting of a nucleus, which is made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.

Cornell Notes are a note-taking strategy in which

topic questions are written in a narrow left-hand
column and definitions, explanations, and diagrams
are filled in in the right-hand column. At the bottom
of Cornell Notes, there is typically a section included
for reflection on the lesson’s main points. See the
example to the right.
Doodle Notes are another note-taking strategy for
which pictures and graphics activate the visual
pathways of the brain, which helps with retention of
information when compared to standard note-taking.
Your visual learners will really benefit from seeing
and coloring in the pictures aside the main points of
the notes!

Doodle Notes is a registered trademark used with

permission. See DoodleNotes.org for more details.

I created a Powerpoint that goes with these notes. The

Powerpoint walks the students through the lesson from the
Essential Question and through all of the Topic Questions. There
is a “Quick Watch” video clip included as part of Topic Question 1
that’s a great “hook”/intro to the lesson. There are three
anticipation questions that the students will answer before and
after watching the video clip.

 These are the included versions of these Cornell Doodle Notes:
KEY The KEY : All notes and “answers” are included on this version

Green Circle : Use this version for your lower-level students who need more support, take more time,
or who are learning English as a second language…they will have to fill in missing words

Blue Square : Use this version for your mainstream students…they will have to write the topic questions
and fill in some words throughout

Black Diamond : Use this version for your high-flying students who like to write in their own handwriting
… they will have to fill in almost all of the words throughout

Note: the “Sum It Up” practice problems sheet is the same for all both student versions.

On the next page are the directions for accessing the Powerpoint and Google Slides presentations for
this resource.

Here are some ways that I suggest using this resource:

1) Whole-Group lesson with scaffolding : Decide which students should receive which level of the notes.
Hand out the notes to the students. Use the Powerpoint or Google Slides as a presentation and talk aloud
through the lesson while the students take notes OR If you have a document camera (an ELMO), you can
fill out your own notes and the students can follow along with you as you discuss the concepts aloud! Stop
throughout the lesson to have the students pair-share and discuss what they are learning. Allow them to
color/doodle further during and at the end of the lesson.

2) Scaffolded Small-Group lesson : Separate your students into groups by learning level. Give each student
group sets of the appropriate notes for their level. Make sure each group has a device to view the
presentation. Post the Powerpoint or Google Slides to your Google Classroom or other online learning
platform, or email the Powerpoint version to one ‘student leader’ in each group. The students would view
the Powerpoint/Slides together on one device and fill in the notes. Encourage them to add color/further
notes.

3) Individual Note-Taking or Flipped Classroom : Post the Powerpoint or Google Slides presentation to your
Google Classroom or other online learning platform. Hand out the appropriate-level notes to each student.
Students can work at their own pace to view the presentation and complete their notes. Encourage them
to add color/further notes. Could also be assigned for homework or as a “half & half lab” for which one
group of students is taking notes at their desks while another group is performing a lab.

4) Distance Learning Scenario: Create a screencast lecture using one of the presentation options, or you
could record audio clips over each slide that your students will play as they view the presentation. Check
out the options for student digital note-taking on the next page!

 Printing Tips!
It depends how you’d like your students to use these notes. They can be printed one-sided and folded
up into an interactive notebook, or you can print them double-sided and have students keep them in
binders/folders.

If you print them double-sided, this is what I suggest doing:

o In the print settings on Adobe/Reader, keep the “Auto Orientation” button selected
o Click “FLIP ON LONG EDGE” and FIT to page
o Type in the page numbers that you’d like to print and the number of copies
o You can also print the pages one-sided and run them double-sided through your school’s
copy machine!
o Either way, I also suggest selecting “Fit to Printable Area” so that the notes take up the
maximum amount of paper space!

Printing the notes this way will avoid your students having to rotate their paper when they go to the
next side. Instead, they will flip and the left and right columns will be in the same place!

Example notes printed Thank you to these amazing artists!
