High School Weekly Lesson Plan Week of: Mar 10, 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): SC1g. Develop and use models, including electron configuration of atoms and ions, to predict an element’s chemical properties. LT: We are learning how to develop and use models to predict an element's properties. SC: I can explain how electrons are distributed around a nucleus. I can define electron configuration, ground state, excited state and isoelectronic. I can create an electron configuration for an atom or ion. I can create a noble gas configuration for an atom or ion. I can use electron configurations to predict an element's properties. I can use electron configurations to identify isoelectronic atoms and ions. Lesson/Activity: Trends of the Periodic Table (notes and worksheet to highlight and label) Lab #6 Worksheets - glue-in and cut to place in the lab section of the notebook. Complete Graph #1 in class. Start Graph #2 (becomes HW to be checked). Video clip - showcases practical uses of spectroscopy and nuclear chemistry, along with scientific method and psychology topics. HW: Notebook checks start March 13th through March 24th. Flocabulary #6 closes tonight at 11:59 p.m. Resources: Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Google Classroom, Promethean Board, and worksheets in notebooks. Worksheets for Lab #6 and Study Guides. Graphing pieces - rulers, pencil, pencil, highlighters, colored pencils, and Periodic Table information. Tuesday Pass out notebook rubrics and lab expectations for upcoming Notebook checks! Standard(s): SC2a. Plan and carry out an investigation to gather evidence to compare the physical and chemical properties at the macroscopic scale to infer the strength of intermolecular and intramolecular forces. LT: We are learning how to compare chemical and physical properties using inter- and intramolecular forces. SC: I can define and provide examples of chemical and physical properties. I can define mixtures, pure substances, compounds, diatomic molecules, and solutions. I can conduct an investigation to compare physical and chemical properties. Lesson/Activity: Check R.A. #15 (Last one for two weeks). Set-up Graph #3 and Graph #4 to be checked as HW. Start Unit 3: Start notes on “Phase Changes.” Finish the video clip (10 minutes) HW: Flocabulary #7 due on Monday, March 17th. Lab #6 graphs for blue stamps. Work on notebooks, because they will be collected from March 13th through March 24th for grading. Resources: Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Promethean Board, ActivInspire, Periodic Tables, pens or markers, and rulers. Google Classroom for notes Wednesday Standard(s): SC2a.
