OBJECTIVE
What will your students be able to learn?
Identify that atoms are the smallest unit of all matter and that each atom consists of
protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Identify the location of the nucleus and electron cloud and determine which
subatomic particles belong in each location.
Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons of common elements
based on information on the periodic table of elements.
(Middle-schoolers
only study stable atoms [protons and electrons are equal in number].)
Create models of atoms in order to identify the number and location of their
protons, neutrons, and electrons.
PRE-PLANNING
Describe how different types of forces are acting on atoms and matter through
contact or no contact.
9/17/19
Standard/Benchmark:
Benchmark(s): (Note:
CC denotes a
benchmark’s Cognitive
Complexity) SC.8.P.8.7
Explore the scientific
theory of atoms (also
known as atomic theory)
by recognizing that
atoms are the smallest
unit of an element and
are composed of
subatomic particles
(electrons surrounding a
nucleus containing
protons and neutrons).
(CC: Low) SC.8.P.8.5
Recognize that there are
a finite number of
elements and that their
atoms combine in a
multitude of ways to
produce compounds that
make up all of the living
and nonliving things that
we encounter. AA (CC:
Low)
ASSESSMENT “Begin with the End in Mind”
How will you know whether your students have made progress toward the objective? How and when will you
assess mastery?
Progress Monitoring Assessment
Unit Exam
Exit Ticket
ESSENTIAL QUESTION
A higher order question that is directly derived from the benchmark, introduced at the beginning of the lesson,
discussed throughout the lesson, and answered by students at the end of the lesson to show understanding of the
concepts taught.
How can the number and location of subatomic particles be predicted?
How can I use the periodic table as a tool to understand the number and structure of subatomic particles in an
atom?
What forces are acting on the subatomic particles of an atom?
What forces are acting on matter through contact or no contact?
HIGHER ORDER QUESTIONS (3-5 questions)
What questions will be answered to provoke higher order thinking and include Moderate to High FSA
Complexity Levels? What would the ideal student response be for each question?

REINFORCEMENT
LESSON CYLCE
1. The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge. Based on your understanding of the structure of an atom, how
can this be?
2. If you know the number of neutrons and the mass of an atom can you determine the identity of the atom?
Explain.
3. Neon (Ne) has an atomic number of 10. With only this information explain whether or not it is possible to
determine the number of electrons in a Neon atom.
4. What force(s) are acting on subatomic particles in an atom? Explain how this force helps the atom maintain
its structure?
BELL RINGER (10 min) or FOCUS LESSON (30 min)
TIME
Follow the Focus Calendar to provide reinforcement of previously taught skills.
Approximate
10 min BR
30 min
Ask students to explain the difference between a theory and a law.
Have students identify the differences of kinetic molecular movement between the
three states of matter.
5-10 min
INTRODUCTION
Brief part of the lesson when students learn the objective/essential question and
how mastering the objective leads to achieving the bigger goal of the course.
 Provide a hook to motivate students and link to prior knowledge in order to
introduce a new concept.
 Explain the relevance of lesson and the importance of learning the concept.
Introduce important vocabulary using the word wall as an interactive learning tool.

MODELING “I DO”
Component of the lesson when teacher explicitly models to students exactly what
they are expected to do during guided practice and eventually during independent
work.
 Conduct a think aloud while modeling the steps to completing an activity or
solving a problem. Model the use of
 a graphic organizer.
Use questioning techniques such as re-directing, wait-time and prompting.
Explain the atomic theory. Model the parts of an atom and explain the location of
subatomic particles. Model how the subatomic particles correlate to placement on
periodic table, and that each element has a specific set of subatomic particles.
GUIDED PRACTICE “WE DO”
Guide students to independent practice by providing an opportunity to work in
small groups and practice what was taught during the modeled portion of the
lesson.
 Incorporate the use of a collaborative strategy in small groups. Encourage
student accountable talk during group discussion.
Perform checks for understanding.
Students will be provided ten elements and will create 2d models of each element
and first identify the number of subatomic particles, then showing where the
subatomic particles are located.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE “YOU DO”
 Assign students independent work that is directly aligned with the “I Do” and
“We Do” portions of the lesson.
Circulate around the room to provide individual support

CLOSURE
Min
 Wrap up the lesson and help students organize the information learned into a
meaningful context.
 Have students reflect on or answer the Essential Question.
Help students connect today’s learning to their bigger goal in the course.
Students will create a 2d model of Boron identifying number and location of the
three subatomic particles.
HOME-LEARNING
