STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:Atomic Theory and Light
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and
skill focus)
Atomic theory is the foundation for the study of chemistry
Chemical bonding occurs as a result of attractive forces between particles..
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
Students will understand: History of Atomic Theory, Nuclear Symbols, Nuclear
Chemistry, Formula Stoichiometry
Energy is absorbed or emitted when electrons move from one energy level to another
within the atom.
VOCABULARY: cathode ray, subatomic particles, alpha
particle, periodic table, atomic number, atomic weight, mass
number, electrons, protons, neutrons, alpha, beta, gamma and
positron radiation, conservation of mass, decay series, mole,
mass, weight.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: In what ways has the theory of
the atom changed over time due to technological
improvements
What factors determine the types of chemical bonds that
form between particles?
STUDENT OBJECTIVES
(COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
1. SWBAT trace atomic history from the Greeks through
Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr.
2. SWBAT explain the use of the cathode ray tube
experiments in discovery of subatomic particles
3.SWBAT describe (and perform a “replica” of )
Rutherford’s alpha scattering experiment
4. SWBAT define, describe and use the periodic table to
determine the following terms: atomic number, atomic
weight, mass number, number of electrons, number of
protons, and number of neutrons.
5. SWBAT summarize the laws of definite composition,
multiple proportions and conservation of mass.
6. SWBAT describe and recognize the symbols and names
of alpha, beta, positron and gamma radiation
7. SWBAT determine the missing part of a nuclear
equation using conservation of mass
8. SWBAT complete a decay series when given radioactive
changes
9. SWBAT Determine the molecular weight of a compound
using the periodic table
10.SWBAT Define a mole
11. SWBAT convert between mass, mole and unit
