Date: 10/9/14 and 10/14/14
Class: Physical Science
Periods: W1,2,4 and B2
Outcomes: Students will be able to describe how electrons are arranged in an atom.
Standards: 9-12.P.1.1
Student Needs: Individual help
Assessment Plan: Ticket to Leave: Draw an electron dot diagram and an outer shell diagram of Calcium
Lesson Outline: What is Pascal's Principle? How many protons does Argon have? > Reminder that quizzes can be retaken. > Why do you think the periodic table is shaped the way it is? 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.
