Learning Goals for this Outcome:
I understand the role of experimental evidence in the development of various atomic models
I can identify the location, relative mass, and charge of subatomic particles within an atom, using the Bohr-Rutherford model
I can relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its valence electrons (Lewis Symbol) and orbits (Bohr-Rutherford)
I can investigate and relate the physical and chemical properties of elements to their position on the periodic table
I understand that the chemical formula represents the elements and the number of atoms in a compound
Lesson Ideas
This practice activity allows students to select practice questions that are most appropriate for their current level of understanding.
This is a great game to play for just about any topic. This version covers basic concepts in the Periodic Table.
This PHET simulation allows students to build virtual models and see the electron orbitals.
An activity for students to learn how to draw a Bohr-Rutherford diagram through the means of a thinking classroom which comprises of random groups and vertical non-permanent surfaces. This allows groups to work at their own pace and share ideas between groups, which lends itself well for small group instruction.
Students will learn a debate format and have structured arguments. They will argue over the contributions of these scientists to have a deeper understanding of the atomic model.
Students will learn about electric vehicles - their evolution and promise to a sustainable future. This learning will lead to choosing materials and understanding the conductive properties of materials. Students will end up leading an investigation to test various materials by coding and building a conductivity tester using a microbit and two alligator wires. Here is the worksheet that goes along with it. This lesson is a combination of resources obtained from InkSmith and has been modified to suit the needs.
Students will arrange the hexagons in a way that they connect with each other. They will take part in a gallery walk and explain the connections to other groups, along with a written explanation. The goal of the activity is to promote conversation about these key terms and how they connect. This would encourage critical thinking, a deep level of understanding of the terms and how they all connect.
