Time 7:45- 8:45 11:00 – 12:00 2:00 – 3:00

I. Objective

Explain how the concept of atomic number led to the synthesis of new elements in the
laboratory.

II. Content
a. Topic: Henry Moseley, Atomic Number, and Synthesis of Elements
b. Resources: MELC, Phoenix Book, Teachers Guide
c. Materials: Laptop, PPT Presentation
d. Attitudes: Perceive the significance of making synthetic elements.
e. Values: Respect scientist for their artificial construct.
f. Learning across curriculum :
Mathematics: Atomic number can be related to the concept of counting. The periodic table
and atomic numbers can be used to introduce patterns and sequences in mathematics.

III. Learning Resources

a. Most Essential Learning Competency
b. Physical Science book
c. Physical Science Module

IV. Procedure
a. Preliminary Activities
i. Checking of Attendance
ii.Drill
A. Identify the elements!
1. Au 2. N 3. Md 4. Be 5. Mn

iii. Review

Check point! Like or Dislike

Directions: Raise your thumb if the statement is correct, otherwise thumbs-down.

1. Big Bang Nucleosyntheis is the formation of elements in the center of the star.
2. Protostar is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space.
3. According to Georgess Lemaitre that the galaxies are moving away from the earth.
4. S process happen when there is a slow rate capturing neutron while there is a faster
rate of radioactive ddecay hence increasing the proton by 1.
5. Massive star or star eight larger than solar mass, they under proton-proton chain
reaction to convert Hydrogen to Helium.

iv. Motivation
 Emblem-ments!
Direction: Change the elements of the periodic table to its corresponding
symbols to make them into a new word in the sentence.

Trial!

When there is love, there is Lithium Iron. (Life)

1. I am a Carbon Oxygen Flourine Iron Einsteinium minus Sulfur lover.

2. Barium Borin Ytrium, will you be mine?
3. It’s Floruine Iodine Neon to be hurt rather than be in a fake love.
4. Wala talagang Flourine Oxygen Rhenium Vanadium Erbium!

v. Activity Proper

i. Activity (Collaborative Learning)

Atomic Number Puzzle

Objective: To reinforce the concept of atomic numbers and their arrangement in the
periodic table.

Instructions:
1. Distribute the puzzle pieces with atomic numbers to the students.
2. In groups, students need to arrange the puzzle pieces to form the correct
sequence of atomic numbers.
3. Evry group will be provided with ablank puzzle template where students can
write the atomic numbers in order.

Materials:

Puzzle Pieces with atomic numbers, Blank puzzle template

Rubric:
Correct Arrangement of Atomic Numbers – 5 pts
Participation and Teamwork – 5 pts

Guide Questions:

1. What is atomic number?

2. What is the significance of atomic number in the periodic table?
3. How are elements arranged based on their atomic numbers?
4. Explain why atomic number is important in predictinf the properties of
elements?

ii. Analysis

1. What is atomic number?

2. What is the significance of atomic number in the periodic table?
3. How are elements arranged based on their atomic numbers?
4. Explain why atomic number is important in predicting the properties of
elements?
 iii. Abstraction

Explain how the concept of atomic number led to the synthesis of new elements in the
laboratory.

a. History of the Periodic Table

b. Identifying the Atomic Number, Atomic Weight, Atomic Mass, Protons, Neutrons
and Electrons.
c. Defining atomic number
d. Synthesis of new elements inside the laboratory.

Students will complete the chart with

needed information on the
distinguishable
characteristics of quantitative and
qualitative research. The teacher
will then
clarify and elaborate the key concepts.
iv. Application

Why do scientist study and synthesize new tranuranium elements in laboratory? What are the
uses of these elements?

v. Evaluation

I. Multiple Choice. Directions: Choose the letter of the best answer in each item and write your
answer on your quiz notebook.

1. He successfully carried out a nuclear transmutation reaction, a process of transforming one

element or isotope into another element.
a. Chadwick b. Moseley c. Mendeleev d. Rutherford
2. He synthesized element with atomic number 43 using alinear particle accelerator.
a. Ernest Rutherford b. Ernest Lawrence c. Dmitri Mendeleev d. John Dalton
3. He noticed that shooting electrons at elements caused them to release x-rays at unique
frequencies.
a. Mendelev b. Millikan c. Moseley d. Serge
4. These are elements with atomic numbers beyond 103.
a. SuperHevy Elements b. Gases Elements c. Lightest Elements d Halogens
5. He created a classification of elements based on their atomic weight.
a. Rutherford b. Dalton c. Millikan d. Mendeleev
 II. Directions: Write the nuclear reactions involved in the synthesis of each of the following
elements.
a. Curium (z=96) was formed by reacting Pu – 239 with alpha particles 42 He. It has a
half-life of 162 days.
b. Mendelevium (z=101) was formed by reacting En-253 with alpha particles.
c. Meitnerium (Z=109) was formed by cold fusion which involves the combination of
Bi and Fe nuclides at ordinary temperature.

vi. Assignment

Create a timeline using illustrations and text showing on how elements form with the concept
of atomic number.
