Lesson Plans: Sept. 11th – 15th
Monday – We will go over Counting Atoms notes with practice problems.
Tuesday – We will continue to work on Counting Atoms Worksheet which will be for homework if not completed by the end of class.
Wednesday – We will begin our Unit 1 Review on Atomic Structure, Molecules, Compounds, and Chemical Reactions.
Thursday – We will grade the test review and play a review game to study for test.
- Students will take home reviews to study, and receive 5 bonus points on test if signed by parent.
Friday – Unit 1 Test

Lesson Plans: September 5th – 8th
Monday – LABOR DAY
Tuesday & Wednesday:
3D Atom using Bohr Diagram – This 3D atom model activity is an engaging way to teach atomic structure. Students will learn how to collect element data and use the information to design a 3D atom model. Each 3D model consists of four Bohr models glued together.
Thursday & Friday: We will dive further into our unit by learning about elements, molecules, and compounds.
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
- Recognize that atoms and molecules are too small to be seen.
- Identify examples of elements, compounds, molecules, and diatomic molecules.
- Describe how the properties of a compound are different from the properties of the elements that form the compound.
- Draw atomic diagrams of elements, compounds, and diatomic molecules.
- Build models of elements, compounds, and diatomic molecules.

Lesson Plans: August 28th – September 1st
*Due to the Shirley Atkins tournament last week, we will begin our 1st unit this week.*
Monday & Tuesday – We will start by reviewing common science root words, and going over last weeks assignment. Depending on time, we may begin the first unit, Matter and Energy, at the end of Monday’s class, or starting Tuesday.
In our lesson, Atomic Structure and Elements, students will learn:
- About the relationship between an atom and element.
- How protons, neutrons, and electrons are arranged to form an atom.
- How can electrons be gained and lost from an atom.
Wednesday – Begin working on Atomic Structure practice worksheet. This will not be for homework as we will complete it on Friday.
Thursday – Complete the Atomic Structure practice worksheet.
Friday – Will begin discussing the differences between Molecules & Compounds, and how their properties are different from the atoms they come from. Students will be given study notes to guide in discussion. This will carry over into the following week.
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
