To this end students, in cooperative learning groups of four individuals, use the internet to research when a particular element was discovered, who discovered the element and how that element is used in today's society. The technology component of this lesson afforded students the opportunity to practice locating<B> relevant</B> and <B>credible </B>information on-line. In fact, an implicit goal of this activity was to demonstrate to students that just because something is published on-line does not always mean that it correct. Students need to read published material critically and often question the source. Similarly, by utilizing cooperative learning strategies students learned and practiced interacting with each other in an effective manner in order to achieve a common goal. The goals as well as the instructional objectives of this lesson were met. Through this lesson I observed students developing a greater appreciation for the vast amount of information that is available on-line. At the same time I was also able to observe how each student interacted in groups. However, possible improvements for the future would include having students repeat their roles in the cooperative learning groups or even writing down their roles on a piece of paper to ensure that every member of the group is clear on their responsibilities and is taking a more active role.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Title:</B> Element Trading Card: The Periodic Table</div> <div> <B>Class:</B> Contemporary Science, 9th Grade Applied</div> <div> <B>Duration:</B> 80-90 minutes</div> <div> <B>Objectives:</B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Students will be able to apply their knowledge of the periodic table to identify the atomic number and the mass number.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Students will be able to calculate the number of protons, the number of electrons and the number of </div> <div>       neutrons of the following elements</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> Hydrogen</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> Carbon</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> Oxygen</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> Nitrogen</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> Sulfur</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Potassium</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Students will be able to use the Internet to identify when one of the following elements, Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur and Potassium were discovered.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Students will be able to use the Internet to identify three important uses of one of the following elements: Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur and Potassium.</div> <div> <B>Assessment:</B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Formal:  <A HREF="id102.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Element Chart"><U>Completion of the Element Chart</U></A>; <A HREF="id107.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Atomic Bonding Assessment"><U>Test</U></A></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Informal: Teacher observation of student work; completion of the Element Trading Cards</div> <bR> <div> <B>PA Standards:</B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">3.2.10D Inquiry and Design</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">3.4.10 Physical Science, Chemistry & Physics</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c002d00f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">3.4.10.A.
