| SCIENTIFIC THEORY OF ATOMS/ATOMIC STRUCTURE |
|
|
| Learning Goals |
- Students will explain that atoms are the smallest unit of an element and are composed of subatomic particles; electrons, protons, neutrons.
- Students will identify and/or describe the role of models to explain that which cannot be easily seen or altered. (Comprehension)
- Students know the parts of an atom, their location, and their charge.
- Students know all matter is composed of atoms.
- Students will make a model of an atom including nucleus, (neutrons, protons) and electrons in their correct energy level.
- Students will make a timeline to visualize how electron models have changed and built on each other.

| TEST TAKING STRATEGIES |
| to Start the Year Off |
|
CUBE Method
|
|
The Cube strategy is a good tool to model for your students.
|
| |
|
1. Examine the data table or picture.
|
|
a. If it is a picture, write on the picture what you think is going on.
|
|
b. If it is a data table, look at the columns and rows for any patterns. Look to see if the numbers in the rows/columns increase or decrease.
|
| |
|
C = Circle science vocabulary (convection, conduction, etc.)
|
|
U = Underline key terms (compare, "the same amount of water," predict, etc.)
|
|
B = Box in the question
|
|
E = Eliminate incorrect answers (justify each answer you eliminate)
