WOODLAND HILLS SECONDARY LESSON PLAN
Name: NAILL
Date: 11/3/14
Length of Lesson:20 days
Course: Chemistry
STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC: Atomic Theory
BIG IDEAS: (Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill focus)
Atomic theory is the foundation for the study of chemistry.
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?
UNDERSTANDING GOALS: Students will understand:
1. 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
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
