= Title: Exploring the Periodic Table = = Subject: Chemistry = = Author: Ms. McDermott = = Grade Level: 10th =

= Overview: =

This lesson plan for the Periodic Table incorporates technology to promote more participation in the classroom. The Internet is used to gain knowledge about the History of the Periodic Table and the different Elements. It is also used for various online quizzes and activities. Power-Point is used to create a group presentation. Then the use of the Inspiration software comes in, which will be used to create a Venn Diagram to show the differences of the families of elements. It will conclude with a test over the material covered. By the end of this lesson plan, the students should have a clear understanding of the history of the Periodic Table, the different elements and which families the elements belong to. The students will also understand what neutrons, protons, electrons, the mass number and the atomic number are.

= Objectives: = - The Chemistry Student will be able to identify and compare the different families of the periodic table using technology with 100% accuracy. - The Chemistry Student will be able to calculate and write the number of protons, neutrons and electrons on note cards when given an element’s mass number and atomic number at least 16 out of 20 times. - The Chemistry Student will be able to determine the name of at least 90% of the common elements when given their symbol. - The Chemistry Student will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of the history of the Periodic Table by creating a timeline with 100% accuracy after completing the reading assigned. - After completing the assigned activities and readings, student will be able to score higher than a 75% on the final exam.

= Materials Needed: = = Computers with Internet = = Inspiration Software = = Microsoft Power-Point = = Microsoft Word = Projector

= Activities and Procedures: = The students will complete various activities using technology. These include: - Exploring various websites to gain knowledge of the Periodic Table - Applying the knowledge learned by creating a quiz for other classmates to take. - Creation of a time-line - Creating flash cards to differentiate the elements and to help memorize the elements - Creating a power-point about a specific family of elements - Comparing using a Venn Diagram

= Assessment: = The students will be assessed on their accuracy on each of the assignments. Each assignment that is completed will be a grade. They will also be tested after all the material is covered in a multiple choice format test.

= Standards: = = SC.912.P.8.In.d: Recognize that the periodic table includes all known elements  =
 * SPC.912.P.8.7 ** : Relate properties of atoms and their positions in the periodic table to the arrangement of composition and structure.
 * SPC.912.P.8.4 ** : Explore the scientific theory of atoms (also known as atomic theory) by describing the structure of atoms in terms of protons, neutron and electrons, and differentiate among these practices in terms of their mass, electrical charges and locations within the atom.
