Lesson Plan: The Atomic Model

I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES

A. Content Standards

Students will understand the historical context and development of the atomic model,
recognizing the contributions of key scientists and differentiating subatomic particles.

B. Performance Standards

Students will be able to describe and illustrate the atomic model, including the properties of
subatomic particles and their significance.

C. Learning Competencies and Objectives

C.1 Learning Competency:

Differentiate the subatomic particles in terms of their symbol, mass, charge, and location within
the atom.

C.2 Lesson Objectives:

 Students will identify and describe the three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons,
and electrons.
 Students will create a visual representation of the atomic model, labeling the particles
correctly.
 Students will explain the significance of each subatomic particle in the context of the
atomic model.

D. Content

 Overview of the atomic model


 Characteristics of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons)
 Historical development of the atomic model

E. Integration

Integration of science with history through the exploration of atomic theory and contributions
from key scientists.

II. LEARNING RESOURCES

 Textbook: Chemistry: The Central Science (Brown et al., 2020)


 Online resources: Khan Academy, Chemistry LibreTexts
 Chart paper, markers, and rulers for visual activities
III. TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCEDURE

A. Activating Prior Knowledge

1. Short Review:
o Discuss the concept of matter and its fundamental building blocks.
o Review previous knowledge about atoms and elements.

2. Motivation:
o Show a short video clip illustrating the structure of atoms to spark interest.

B. Establishing Lesson Purpose

1. Lesson Purpose:
o To understand the structure of the atom and the role of subatomic particles.

2. Unlocking Content Area Vocabulary:


o Define key terms: atom, subatomic particle, proton, neutron, electron, nucleus,
atomic model.

C. Developing and Deepening Understanding

SUB-TOPIC 1: Protons

1. Explicitation:
o Describe protons: symbol (p⁺), mass (approximately 1 amu), charge (+1), and
location (nucleus).

Questions for Discussion:

o Why is the charge of the proton important in determining the identity of an


element?

2. Worked Example:
o Identify the number of protons in carbon (atomic number 6).

Solution:

o Carbon has 6 protons, which defines it as carbon.

3. Lesson Activity:
o Students create a chart detailing protons.

Questions for Discussion:

o How would changing the number of protons affect the element?


SUB-TOPIC 2: Neutrons

1. Explicitation:
o Describe neutrons: symbol (n⁰), mass (approximately 1 amu), charge (0), and
location (nucleus).

2. Worked Example:
o Calculate the number of neutrons in carbon-12.

Solution:

o Carbon-12 has 6 protons and a mass number of 12, so it has 12−6=6 neutrons.

3. Lesson Activity:
o Compare isotopes of elements by the number of neutrons.

Questions for Discussion:

o How do isotopes affect an element's properties?

SUB-TOPIC 3: Electrons

1. Explicitation:
o Describe electrons: symbol (e⁻), mass (approximately 1/1836 amu), charge (-1),
and location (electron cloud).

2. Worked Example:
o Identify the number of electrons in a neutral atom of carbon.

Solution:

o In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons; thus,
carbon has 6 electrons.

3. Lesson Activity:
o Draw an atom of carbon, labeling protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Questions for Discussion:

o How do electrons influence an atom's chemical behavior?

SUB-TOPIC 4: The Atomic Model

1. Explicitation:
o Explain the evolution of the atomic model from Dalton to the Quantum
Mechanical Model.
2. Worked Example:
o Compare the Bohr model with the Quantum Mechanical Model.

3. Lesson Activity:
o Students create a timeline of the atomic model's development.

Questions for Discussion:

o What are the strengths and weaknesses of each atomic model?

SUB-TOPIC 5: Summary and Review

1. Explicitation:
o Summarize the key points about subatomic particles and the atomic model.

2. Worked Example:
o Review a sample problem involving calculations of atomic mass.

3. Lesson Activity:
o Group discussion on the significance of each particle.

D. Making Generalizations

1. Learner’s Takeaways:
o Students summarize the characteristics of subatomic particles.

2. Reflection on Learning:
o What was the most surprising fact you learned about subatomic particles?

IV. EVALUATING LEARNING: FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT AND TEACHER’S


REFLECTION

A. Evaluating Learning

1. Formative Assessment:
o Eight (8) Items Multiple Choice Questions assessing understanding of subatomic
particles and the atomic model.

2. Homework:
o Instruction: Complete a worksheet on subatomic particles.
o Tasks: Identify and describe the properties of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

B. Teacher’s Remarks

 Effective Practices: Engaging discussions and visual activities helped reinforce


understanding.
 Problems Encountered: Some students struggled with distinguishing between protons
and neutrons.

C. Teacher’s Reflection

 Principles behind the teaching: Emphasized the importance of understanding atomic


structure in chemistry.
