Instruction
KEY POINTS: What three to five main
ideas or steps will you emphasize in your

Explain how elements are positioned on
the periodic table.
ENGAGE: Get the students’ minds focused on the topic (short; question or picture)
Disorderly drawer versus the organized drawer.
EXPLORE: Provide students with a common experience
Students will utilize element cards and will construct a period table placing elements
according to their atomic mass and reaction rates with oxygen.
EXPLAIN: Teach the concept. Should include interaction between teacher and students.
We will use a model or illustration of the periodic table to show the groups, periods,
atomic number, atomic mass via discussion. We will use either a power point, brainpop, or united streaming for this portion of the lesson.
ELABORATE: Students apply the information learned in the Explain
Students will be assigned a particular element in groups of 4 to 5. The
group will be responsible for constructing a pamphlet that shows the
properties and uses of that element. Student will also answer key
questions that show how and why the element is grouped on the
periodic table.
EVALUATE: How will you know the students have learned the concept?
Students will present their information before the class and graded via a rubric.
