OL/PAP SCIENCE 8
TEKS Focus: 8.5C
Objective: We will identify the structure and logic of the
periodic table. Identify the groups and periods and that
they have distinct properties. I can locate the section of
the periodic table with metals, non-metals and metalloids
and identify their main characteristics.
1. Attendance
2. Organize the Bohr models for elements 1-18
3. Discuss logic and explore
4. Continue notes on Periodic Table (color & label)
5. HMWK: Students are to complete Cornell Notes
for “I Can’s” 11-14
TEKS Focus: 8.5C
Objective: We will explore the chemical properties of
elements.
1. Attendance
2. LAB: Explore the chemical properties of elements
at stations and record observations.
a. Video on reactivity – odium, potassium,
calcium.
b. Using conductivity tester on substances
c. Read about Metalloids
d. Non-metal: Sulfur – observe brittle and
conductivity
e. Noble Gases – Bohr Models
Record all observations and discussions
TEKS Focus: 8.5C
Objective: We will explain the organization of the periodic
table including the periods, groups and characteristics of
elements.
1. Attendance
2. Alien Periodic Table
3. Review for quiz.
TEKS FOCUS: 8.5ABC
Objective: We will demonstrate our understanding of the
structure and organization of the periodic table.

Notes
Essential questions:
What factors did you use to organize the Bohr Models?
Can you identify any trends?
Notice changes from element 1 to 18?
HMWK:
Complete Cornell Notes for “I Can’s” 11-14.
Essential Question:
Can you identify if it has conductivity properties – what
might it be?
Is it shiny, malleable or ductile?
Is it brittle?
HMWK:
Who Am I?
Essential Question:
Using clues and information I can identify the general
location of an element in the current periodic table.
What are valence electrons and why are they important?
What are the characteristics of metals, non-metals and
metalloids?
What are energy levels?
HMWK:
Complete Alien Periodic Table.
Study for Quiz
Essential Question:
What is the structure of the atom?
What are ions and isotopes?
How and why did you sort the chips the way you did?
Logic?
HMWK:
Essential Question:
Why is the periodic table organized the way it is?
What was most difficult for me to learn?
How can we improve the structure for students?
