4 lessons//4 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1Session 1: Rows 1-2, Hydrogen (1) to Neon (10)The first class session introduces students to atomic elements Hydrogen (1) to Neon (10), the first two rows of the Periodic Table, as well as significant molecules formed from these atoms, such as water and carbon dioxide. We'll draw electron orbitals and learn about the importance of the outer "valence" electron shell.Week 2Lesson 2Session 2: Row 3, Sodium (11) to Argon (18)In Session 2, we'll explore atomic elements Sodium (11) to Argon (18). We'll discuss covalent and ionic molecular bonding and unique characteristics of atoms, along with important molecules that they form. We'll draw a Bohr model of Argon and review the major electron shell levels for rows 1-3 of the Periodic Table. The various atoms and molecules will be linked to practical uses in life and modern technology.Week 3Lesson 3Session 3: Row 4, Potassium (19) to Krypton (36)In Session 3, we'll explore atomic elements Potassium (19) to Krypton (36). We'll continue discussing covalent and ionic molecular bonding and unique characteristics of atoms, along with important molecules that they form. We'll draw a Bohr model of Kypton and review the major electron shell levels for rows 1-4 of the Periodic Table. We'll also introduce the concept of suborbitals (s, p, d, f). The various atoms and molecules will be linked to practical uses in life and modern technology.Week 4Lesson 4Session 4: Row 5, Rubidium (37) to Xenon (54), plus overview of Periodic TableIn Session 4, we'll explore atomic elements Rubidium (37) to Xenon (54), plus provide an overview of structure for the remaining Periodic Table elements. We'll discuss unique characteristics of selected atomic elements, along with important molecules that they form. We'll draw a Bohr model of Kypton, and we'll further explore the concept of suborbitals (s, p, d, f). The various atoms and molecules will be linked to practical uses in life and modern technology.
A detailed description of each session's learning goals is listed below: Session 1: Hydrogen (1) to Neon (10) Students will learn about: - Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) - The origin of atoms in the Big Bang, stars and supernovas - Specific properties, forms and uses of Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon and Oxygen - Unique molecular properties of water and carbon-based molecules that support formation of life - Electron orbitals and the importance of the valence (outer) electron shell - Structure of the Periodic Table of Elements based on electron shell levels Session 2: Sodium (11) to Argon (18) Students will learn about: - Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) - Properties, forms and uses of Row 3 atoms - Ionic and covalent molecular bonding - Electron orbitals and the importance of the valence (outer) electron shell - Structure of the Periodic Table of Elements based on electron shell levels Session 3: Potassium (19) to Krypton (36) Students will learn about: - Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) - Ionic and covalent molecular bonding - Properties, forms and uses of Rows 4 & 5 atoms - Electron orbitals and the importance of the valence (outer) electron shell - Structure of the Periodic Table of Elements based on electron shell levels Session 4: Rubidium (37) to Xenon (54) Students will learn about: - Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) - Ionic and covalent molecular bonding - Electron orbitals, suborbitals (s, p, d, f) and the importance of the valence (outer) electron shell - Properties, forms and uses of Row 6 & 7 atoms - Structure of the Periodic Table of Elements based on electron shell levels, including the remaining elements in the Table
