Content Objective:
What-.Students will identify the parts of the atomic structure. Students will describe the relationship between
elements and the periodic table. Students will explain the meaning of atomic mass and atomic number.
Students will classify if a substance is an element, compound or mixture.
Why- Everything on Earth is made of elements that are listed on the periodic table. Everything in the Universe
is made of atoms. The food you eat, the materials you use, and all matter can be classified as an element,
compound or mixture.

Disciplanary Core Ideas:
PS-1-3 Matter and Its interactions Structure and Properties of Matter: • Each pure substance has characteristic
physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it.
Chemical Reactions: • Substances react chemically in characteristic ways. • In a chemical process, the atoms
that make up the original substances are regrouped into different molecules, and these new substances have
different properties from those of the reactants.
Science and Engineering Practice:
Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
in 6–8 builds on K–5 and progresses to evaluating the merit and validity of ideas and methods. • Gather, read,
and synthesize information from multiple appropriate sources and assess the credibility, accuracy, and
possible bias of each publication and methods used, and describe how they are supported or not supported by
evidence.
Crosscutting Concepts: Structures can be designed to serve particular functions by taking into account
properties of different materials, and how materials can be shaped and used.
Content Vocabulary: atomic number, atomic mass, element, substance, compound, mixture, group, period

Tuesday:
LAB ACTIVITY: Electron Cloud Model
 Students will demonstrate the elctron cloud model for 4 different atoms.
 The nucleus will have the appropriate number of protons and neutrons.
 Outside of the nucleus will have the appropriate number of elecrons.
 Students will draw the model they demonstrated, using arrows to show motion
of the electrons in the “cloud”.
