10/17/14 and 10/20/14 Family Trends 2

Date: 10/17/14 and 10/20/14
Class: Physical Science
Periods: W1,2,4 and B2

Outcomes: Students will describe the relationship between how the outer shell electrons determine the characteristics for the alkali, alkaline earth, oxygen group, halogens and noble gases.

Standards: 9-12.P.1.1

Student Needs: Writing time

Assessment Plan: Around-the-Room: What one thing you've learned about each group?

Lesson Outline: What is Archimedes' Principle? How many protons does Sulfur have? How many neutrons does Sulfur-34 have? > Draw outer shell diagrams for C, Si, Sn and Pb. > Video of magnetic liquid oxygen. > So far, we've learned that elements in the same column have the same number of electrons in their outer shells. Today, you're going to continue figuring out what that means for the elements' behavior. The number of protons tells us what element it is but the electrons tell us what they do. > Give directions for the Family Trends paper: 2 pages, double spaced, Times New Roman or Arial 12pt font. Describe properties of the alkali (1), alkaline earth (2), oxygen group (6), halogens (7) and noble gases (8). Focus on physical properties (state, color, shininess, etc.) and chemical properties (how do they react, what do they react with, does it take or release energy). You may need to talk about how specific elements in each group differ from the others. Use websites and the textbook as your resources. Use MLA citation (I know you learned it in English class). > Around-the-Room: What is one thing you've learned about each group? HW: Finish paper. Read 20.1 pgs. 602-606 Why do atoms form bonds?

Today, you're going to figure out what that means for the elements' behavior. The number of protons tells us what element it is but the electrons tell us what they do. > Give directions for the Family Trends paper: 1-2 pages, double spaced, Times New Roman or Arial 12pt font.

Why did they decide to end each row with He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn? > Remember the number of protons is how many total electrons elements have. > Draw electron dot diagrams of the first 5 elements on the board. Ask students what pattern do you see? > Draw diagrams of Ne and Na on the board and have students explain the arrangement of the periodic table and how it relates to the diagram. > Explain that the first shell has one room for 2 electrons, but the other shells have 4 rooms and can have 8 electrons in them, if there are only 4 electrons in a shell they want to be spread out as much as possible so there's only 1 electron in each room. > Give students 4 elements from the first 20 on the table to practice on their own on the whiteboards. > Draw outer shell diagrams of C, N and O. Ask students what they notice about the relationship between the diagrams and the periodic table. Point out that the column number tells you how many outer shell electrons that element has. > Have students practice outer shell diagrams for F, Cl, K, Na, I and Cs on the whiteboards. > HW: Electron Dot Diagram Assignment, elements are listed on schoology but draw out on paper. > Ticket to Leave: Draw an electron dot diagram and an outer shell diagram of Calcium.
