Objective: Explain how the concept of atomic number led to the synthesis of
new elements in the laboratory
Review Motivation:
Instructions -
2) In groups, students must arrange the pieces to form the correct element names
Assessment Questions:
Instructions -
1) Students will use simulation software to combine atoms and observe the formation
of new elements
1) How does the concept of atomic number influence the synthesis of new elements?
Instructions -
Assessment Questions:
1) How did the knowledge of atomic number contribute to the discovery of the
element in your case study?
3) How can the synthesis of new elements further expand our understanding of the
periodic table?
2) Set a timer for a quick-fire round where students match the atomic numbers to the
corresponding element symbols
Assessment Questions:
3) What strategies did you use to improve your speed and accuracy in the
challenge?
Instructions:
1) Students will follow a lab protocol to combine specific elements and observe the
synthesis process
Assessment Questions:
1) How did the lab experiment demonstrate the concept of atomic in element
synthesis?
2) Reflect on any challenges faced during the experiment and how they were
overcome.
Instructions:
1) Assign students a specific element and have them create a timeline showcasing
its discovery and synthesis process
Assessment Questions:
1) How does the timeline project help in understanding the evolution of element
discovery based on atomic numbers?
3) What insights did you gain from researching and presenting your assigned
element's discovery timeline?
ANALYSIS:
Activity 2 - Students effectively simulated the synthesis process and analyzed the
outcomes.
ABSTRACTION:
ASSESSMENT:
Question 1 - How does the atomic number of an element affect its chemical
properties?
Assignment:
