Atoms and their Parts

Standards Addressed:
  • P.PM.07.21 Identify the smallest component that makes up an element.
  • ​P.PM.07.22 Describe how the elements within the Periodic Table are organized by similar properties into families (highly reactive metals, less reactive metals, highly reactive nonmetals, and some almost completely non-reactive gases). ​

​#1 Van DeGraf Generator Demo

Picture
Demonstration
5-10 min
  1. You teacher will conduct a few demonstrations with common materials and a Van DeGraf Generator. Watch the video to review. 

Deeper Thinking Questions
5-10 min
  1. What are the different particles in this drawing?
  2. How are the particles moving? What do you see as evidence for this?
  3. If I let it run long enough, will the generator’s mass decrease?

Share your ideas with two tables around you. Change your ideas based on their input.

so....how does the Van DeGraf Generator thing work?

Practice ​40-60min

  1. Teacher Demonstration of Electrolysis of Water. Water is a substance that can be changed in a CHEMICAL CHANGE from Water to separate Hydrogen atoms and Oxygen atoms. 
  2. ​Complete #5 Small Particles handout provides you with information to categorize materials as compounds and mixtures based on whether or not they can be broken down into other substances through electrolysis. Work with your table partner to complete.
  3. Practice. Use the Card Sort Quizlet to review using one game. 
  4. ​Complete ​#6 EdPuzzle: Elements, Compounds and Mixtures in the GCR while you are taking CORNELL NOTES
  5. ​​Complete ​#7 Mastery Check: ​Elements, Compounds and Mixtures in the GCR.

8 December
​#8 Size and Scale Practice
35-45 Minutes
Essential Skills:​
  • Atoms are building blocks for all matter (living and non-living).
  • Compare the size of atoms to living and non-living objects (i.e. sesame seed, cells, viruses, etc.).
  1. Complete Size and Scale handout using the short video below on your own and then compare with your group. Use THIS link to help. 
  2. Complete BACK of #7 Size and Scale.  Copy Diagram 1 below on the back in the space provided. (Diagram 1 shows a BLOOD CELL that is made up of HEMOGLOBIN MOLECULES which is made up of iron (Fe), hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) atoms).​
  3. ​True/False and Explain:
    1. Atoms are found in living and non-living things. A closer look at a red blood cell will reveal that carbon is a main element in the hemoglobin protein of the cell.
