High School Weekly Lesson Plan Week of: Feb 3, 2025 *for additional curriculum information, please visit the district's resource High School Resource Guides or Georgia Standards of Excellence Honors/Gifted Chemistry Monday Standard(s): SC1a. Evaluate merits and limitations of different models of the atom in relation to relative size, charge, and position of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. LT: We are learning how to determine which subatomic particle identifies an element. SC: I can differentiate between accuracy and precision and how they are measured in the lab. I can identify the certain digit and estimated digit in measurements. I can identify the quantity of significant figures and why they are important in the precision of measurements. I can write numbers, compare quantities, and perform calculations in scientific notation. I can identify the scientists and their discovery. I can differentiate scientists' experiments with their contributions to the atomic model. I can evaluate the merits and limitations of the atomic models. I can use the atomic models to identify properties of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Lesson/Activity: Third List of 20 Elements given for Friday’s Elements Quiz #3. Finish up the Sig. Fig./Measurement POGIL HW: R.A. #5 due on Tuesday, February 4th and R.A. #6 due on Thursday, February 6th. Resources: Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Worksheets - POGIL Promethean Board Tuesday Standard(s): SC1c. Construct an explanation based on scientific evidence of the production of elements heavier than hydrogen by nuclear fusion. LT: We are learning how to use scientific evidence to explain how heavier elements were produced. SC: I can define a neutral atom, ion, and isotope. I can explain how electrons can change in an atom. I can explain how neutrons can change in an atom. I can explain why protons remain constant in an atom. I can justify why the proton is used to identify elements. Lesson/Activity: Check R.A. #5. Notes on Parts of the Atom (two short PowerPoints) Parts of the Atoms worksheet (Front and back using Periodic Tables) HW: Work on R.A. #6 and study for Elements Quiz #3. Resources: Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Promethean Board, ActivInspire, and PowerPoints Wednesday Standard(s): SC1c. Construct an explanation based on scientific evidence of the production of elements heavier than hydrogen by nuclear fusion. LT: We are learning how to use scientific evidence to explain how heavier elements were produced. SC: I can define a neutral atom, ion, and isotope. I can explain how electrons can change in an atom. I can explain how neutrons can change in an atom. I can explain why protons remain constant in an atom. I can justify why the proton is used to identify elements. Lesson/Activity: Notes on Nuclear Changes. Nuclear Symbols and create nuclear note card. Practice worksheet #1 for nuclear decay. HW: R.A. #6 due tomorrow. Elements Quiz #3 on Friday, February 7th. Resources: Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Promethean Board, ActivInspire, and PowerPoints Thursday Standard(s): SC1c.
