1. Topic-
|
|
2. Content-
|
Explaining the makeup of an atom and being able to describe in paragraph
form what makes up an atom, how and why it can change. Terms students
will learn: nucleus, atom, neutrons, ions, isotope, electrons, protons,
atomic mass, atomic number, valence electrons, periodic table of elements. |
|
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1.Students will be able to draw atoms of different elements identifying
the makeup of the atoms. Students will be able to calculate the number
of neutrons based off the number of protons and the atomic weight.
Students will understand the valence shells of the atoms and be able
to represent the electrons present in them. Students will be able
to start familiarizing themselves with the periodic table of elements
and make inferences to the design of the table.

|
|
4. Objectives-
|
Students will have a clear understanding the make up of an atom
and how to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Students will make clear representations of the atoms and display
them to show their understanding of the material. Students will be
able to draw isotopes of the original element. |
|
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
periodic table of elements |
|
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
Some students will volunteer to be part of a demonstration. The
demonstration will be conducted by the teacher and showcase the lesson
of an atom. Students will take the place of the different parts of
the atom and be led by the teacher |
|
|
B. Development-
A visual lesson explained over Internet video will be shown that
will again explain what has been seen, additional information will
be given to give the students more insight into what they will encounter
further down the line.
|
|
|
C. Practice-
The lesson will be explained and how to determine the make up of
the atom will be described in full through lecture, also ion, charge,
and isotope will be fully explained with questions being answered.
|
|
|
Checking for understanding-
Students will present the information to the teacher at varying
speeds and be graded on a rubric that shows visual representation
of the make up of the atom, the ion, and isotope. The rubric will
also go about how the students are able to describe what is going
on verbally to check for full understanding. Students will answer
questions regarding how they found certain numbers individually as
they are in groups of two. Finally students will write a statement
explaining what they have seen over the lesson describe everything
that was done. All these elements will go into the grade. |
|
|
Closure-
Students will be rewarded for doing a good job by allowing them
to eat the skittles from the visual representation if they indeed
did a great job. Explain the importance of all these things by previewing
the next lesson. |
|
|
7. Evaluation-
|
Based on how the students are able to describe things and represent
them. Many different learning styles were presented that hit a wide
variety of areas all supporting cooperation and hands on activity
with a reward at the end. Students will be graded on a rubric and
given any help along the way |
