TEKS objectives: (6) Science concepts. The student knows and understands the historical
development of atomic theory. The student is expected to:
6A Understand the experimental design and conclusions used in the development of modern atomic
theory, including Dalton's Postulates, Thomson's discovery of electron properties, Rutherford's nuclear
atom, and Bohr's nuclear atom
6D Use isotopic composition to calculate average atomic mass of an element
Lesson objectives
-List the properties of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
-Define atom.
Materials:
Projector, graph paper, notebook, activity papers
Introduction:
After briefly introducing the topic I will hand out the warmup worksheet and the students work in groups
of 3 or 4. As they complete warmup worksheet they construct meaning for many concepts. These are not
your typical worksheets.
Show students two different shapes made from identical pieces of a toy construction set. Demonstrate
how even though the two shapes look different, the characteristics of the various parts that compose them
are the same. The same is true with the atom. Though atoms of different elements display different
properties, isolated subatomic particles have the same properties, regardless of their source. As
technology improved, scientists learned to isolate the parts of atoms that display similar properties. For
example, the cathode-ray tube led to the isolation of a subatomic particle, the electron.
EXPLORE ACTIVITY 1: Student makes inquiry by discussing basic terms in each group.
Evaluation: Students will be tested several short and untough question on this topic.
Student awarded by points regarding their responses.
1. An atom has a mass number of 43 and it also has 21 electrons.
a) How many protons does this atom have? b) What is the identity of this atom? c)
How many neutrons does this atom have?
2. What is an isotope? Give an example.
3. A certain ion has an atomic number of 16, a mass number of 33, and 18
electrons.
a) What is the charge on the ion? b) What is the identity of this ion? c) How many
neutrons does the nucleus of this ion have?
4. Tritium (an isotope of hydrogen) has 2 neutrons. How many protons does it have?
What is its mass number? 5. What is the charge on a magnesium ion that has 10
electrons?
Closure:
Summarizing all lesson and questioning with open ended to attract students attention out of the class.
-EVALUATING IDEAS Nuclear forces are said to hold protons and neutrons together. What is it about
the composition of the nucleus that requires the concept of nuclear forces?
Worksheet
1. a) For the ion 39K+, state how many electrons, how many protons, and how
