Atoms Lesson 1

1. The document provides details of an 8th grade science lesson on atomic structure that lasts 50 minutes. 2. The lesson objectives are for students to observe that objects can attract or repel each other, infer that objects can carry positive and negative charges, and deduce that neutral objects contain both positive and negative charges. 3. Students will perform hands-on activities using materials like balloons and cloth to explore the concepts of positive and negative charges and how they cause attraction and repulsion between objects.

Topic / Title Atomic Structure

Grade Level Grade 8


Time Allotment 50 minutes
Lesson Number 1
Teacher Shielamite A. Diergos
Content Standard
The learners demonstrate an understanding of the identity of a substance according to its atomic structure.
Performance Standard

Learning Competency and Code


The learners should be able to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a particular atom.
(S8MT-IIIe-f-10)
Objectives
By the end of class, students should be able to:
1. Observe that objects may attract or repel each other
2. Infer that objects may carry positive and negative charges, and
3. Deduce that neutral objects contain positive and negative charges.

ELICIT (Access prior knowledge). Materials/Assessment Tool


Students are grouped into 5 with names evaporation, boiling, condensation,
melting,deposition, and freezing. The group will say “Oppa” when the description
given by the teacher refers to them. The description are as follows:
1. Solid turns to liquid
2. Liquid turns to solid 5 Group labels (written in
3. Solid turns to gas bondpaper/colorbond)
4. Gas turns to solid
5. Liquid turns to gas
6. Gas turns to liquid
Students will further answer the following questions briefly:
1. Define phase change.
In today’s lesson, we will deduce that objects may carry positive and negative
charges.
ENGAGE (Get the students’ minds focused on the topic (short; question or picture).
Show a picture of a girl with hair standing touching a van de Graaff generator. Let
students focus on the girl. Make them realize that there is a connection between
the van de Graaff generator and the hair standing.

EXPLORE (Provide students with a common experience).


Comb
To give students the idea that objects may carry positive and negative charges, the Small Pieces of Paper
teacher will comb her hair and put the comb near small pieces of paper.
Key Question: What makes up an atom?
Students will perform the activity “Charge it to Experience.” The activity aims to Adhesiive tape
investigate that objects may carry positive and negative charges.
Key Questions: meterstick or any meter-long
1. Do objects attract and repel each other? stick
2. Do objects carry positive and negative charges? balloons
3. Do neutral objects contain positive and negative charges?
string
The teacher will assess students’ laboratory activity performance by group. The
teacher should see that the students follow the procedure and safety precautions chairs or any stand for the stick
in activity. glass (from a picture frame)

cloth (flannel or silk cloth)

EXPLAIN (Teach the concept. Should include interaction between teacher and students).
Each group will present their laboratory report. After the report, the teacher will
give inputs on important concepts missed by the students. He will also give
feedback on their laboratory activity group performance.
ELABORATE (Students apply the information learned in the Explain).
The students will perform the activity “Tic Tac Toe.” Six groups will choose cross
versus nought. Two groups will play using one Tic Tac Toe Board. The cross group
will play with the nought group. The teacher will provide 3 Tic Tac Toe Boards. She Tic Tac Toe Boards (attachment)
will explain the mechanics of the game. The team per 2 groups who completes a
diagonal, vertical, or horizontal row will win.

EVALUATE (How will you know the students have learned the concept)?
Identification:
1. What is the subatomic particle with a positive charge?
2. What is electrically neutral with an equal number of protons and electrons?
3. What subatomic particle has no charge?
4. What is the charge of a proton?
5. What is the charge of a neutron?
6. What is the charge of an electron?
7. Where can you find the electron?
8. Where can you find a proton?
9. What subatomic particle has a negative charge?

EXTEND (Deepen conceptual understanding through use in new context).


Write a short poem on the three subatomic particles
