This lesson also<B> incorporates art </B>into the science curriculum. That is,  students were afforded the opportunity to apply their knowledge of atomic structures by creating their own representation of 6 essential elements. In the end the goal was to assess how well students understood atomic structure and allow them to demonstrate their understanding in a creative and visual manner as opposed to a traditional written assessment. The students completed this activity with very little difficulty. In fact, the students enjoyed immensely the opportunity to be creative in the means by which they demonstrate their knowledge. However, when constructing the drawing of the element some students were not careful in ensuring that they correctly represented the accurate number of protons, neutrons and electrons. Therefore, in the future I would stress to the students that one of the pitfalls or areas in which students tend to lose points is in the number of electrons protons and neutrons, merely due to lack of carefulness in their eager to be creative.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Title:</B> Element Drawings</div> <div> <B>Class:</B> Contemporary Science, 9th Grade Applied</div> <div> <B>Duration</B>: 80 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 apply their knowledge of atomic shells, periodic table, atomic number (electrons) and mass number (protons + neutrons) to draw the atomic structure 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">Nitrogen</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">Sulfur</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">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="id103.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Atomic Structure Drawing Rubric"><U>Atomic Structure Drawing Rubric</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</div> <div> <B>PA Standards:</B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">3.1.10C Applying patterns as repeated processes or recurring elements in science and technology (chemical periodicity).</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">3.4.10A Explain concepts about the property and structure of matter.</div> <div> <B>Material:</B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Scissors</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Markers</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Construction paper</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Glue</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Periodic table</div> <div> <A HREF="id103.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Atomic Structure Drawing Rubric"><U><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Atomic Structure Drawing Rubric</U></A></div> <div> <B>Warm Up:</B></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Periodic table Puns:</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c002d00f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Should be on the board before students enter the classroom</div> <div> “Using your imagination and the periodic table try to solve the element puns”</div> <div> What do you do to a wrinkled shirt?<U> Iron</U></div> <div> Someone who likes to start fires?
