Learning Activities:

Do Now– Copy down today’s homework assignment in your planner; Get out your science notebook and add to the Table of Contents- “Understanding Connections p.94” (Left Side) and “Understanding Connections p.95” (Right Side); Head both pages 94 & 95 properly with “Force & Motion-Understanding Connections-4/29/16; Read the questions that you wrote on page 92 of your science notebook.
Science Friday– Caring for Cuttlefish
Understanding Connections-p.94 & 95 in interactive science notebook. Formulate Unit Question using ideas/questions from your questions on p.92. Draw a light bulb in the center of the page and write Unit Question inside the light bulb.
Unit Cover Page– On p.93 in your interactive science notebook, create a cover page for the unit on Force & Motion.

Write the title very large so that it is easy to read.
Draw a minimum of 3 pictures that represents the unit.
Color the entire page, corner to corner, using colored pencil or crayons- no white paper showing

Homework:

Unit Cover Page (p.93) due Tue 5/3

Learning Objective:

To interpret the information given in the periodic table to describe the arrangement of electrons on the energy levels around an atom

Learning Activities:

Do Now– Copy down today’s homework assignment in your planner; Get out your science notebook and your Energy Levels Elements 1-20 activity handout; Looking at your periodic table on page 85, what element has 19 protons? How many electrons does that element have? How many neutrons?
Advance Organizer- Periodic Table of Elements Brain POP animation
Atom Models– Model how to arrange electrons within the energy levels for first atom model of each period. Students fill in the correct number of electrons in energy levels for the rest of the atom models in Energy Levels Elements 1-20 activity sheet. Tape Energy Levels Elements 1-20 activity handout as a flip page to page 89
Comparison– Observe the chemical reaction of different elements and relate this to their location on the periodic table: sodium & potassium in water vs calcium in water
Understanding Connections- Write an Understanding Connections statement about electrons & energy levels on a Post-It note and stick it to the Understanding Connections pages (p.80-81) of your science notebook.

Homework:

Answer 2 questions on page 88.

Learning Objective:

To identify different atoms by the number of protons in the nucleus and realize that the number of electrons equals the number of protons in a neutral atom
To explain the meaning of atomic number and atomic mass

Learning Activities:

Do Now– Get out your science notebook and add to the Table of Contents- “Elements 1-20 p.84” (Left Side) and Head page 84 properly with “Periodic Table-Elements 1-20-3/31/16.”
Advance Organizer– Periodic Table Study Jam and The genius of Mendeleev’s periodic table TED Ed video
Game– The Periodic Table- Model how to play the game and then begin! Trim and tape Periodic Table Elements 1-20 to page 84.
Understanding Connections- Write an Understanding Connections statement about the Periodic Table on a Post-It note and stick it to the Understanding Connections pages (p.80-81) of your science notebook.

Learning Objective:

To explain, in terms of electrons and protons, why a charged object is attracted or repelled by another charged object
To explain that the attraction between positive protons and negative electrons holds an atom together

Learning Activities:

Do Now-Get out your science notebook and add to the Table of Contents- “Application p.82” (Left Side); Head page 82 properly with “Protons, Neutrons, & Electrons-Application-3/29/16;” Try the Rotating Staircase optical illusion.
Simulation– Balloons & Static Electricity PhET- Visualize what happens to electrons when a charged balloon is brought to a wall with the simulation. Set up page 82 with title. Cut & tape diagram to page 82.Write captions beneath each diagram explaining what happened between the balloon and the wall in the simulation.
Demonstration– Balloon and Stream of Water video- On page 82, record your observations of what happened when the charged balloon was held near a stream of water and explain why it happens.
Understanding Connections- Write an Understanding Connections statement about protons, neutrons, & electrons on a Post-It note and stick it to the Understanding Connections pages (p.80-81) of your science notebook.
