Semi-detailed Lesson Plan

ATOM AND ITS ORIGIN

Science 8

I. Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of the discussion, the Grade 8- Flamingo students will:

a. understand the atom and its origin; and

b. participate in an activity actively.

II. Subject Matter

a. Topic: Atom and its Origin

b. Reference: Science Grade 8: Ferdinand S. Bautista., et al. – pp.234 – 235

Google

c. Materials: Marker, Cartolina, Printed Pictures, Adhesive tape

d. Values Integration: Cooperate Learning and Active Learning

III. Teaching Procedure

A. Activity

“Think-Group-Share”

Directions:

During this activity, students will have individual time to think about a
question related to the topic of study. Then, they will form a group and share their
thoughts. Finally, the group will select one major idea to share with the entire class.

B. Analysis

1. Why you chose the object and labeled it as the tiniest object in your bag?
2. Based on our activity, what do you think is our next topic?

C. Abstraction
ATOM AND ITS ORIGIN

Greek Philosophers

The first “atomic theorists” were fifth-century (500 B.C.) Greek philosophers,
Leucippus of Miletus and Democritus of Abdera. They are more of philosophers rather than
an experimentalist. These atomic theorists named this minute particle as atom.

The idea of atomicity of every matter did not gain much attention. This was discarded
by Plato (428-348 B.C.) and Aristotle (384-322 B.C.)

This view of matter was promulgated and held through the Middle Ages. Lucretius
wrote a descriptive poem in 1000 B.C titled De Rerum Natura (The Nature of Things).

Philosophers/Scientists of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

The early Greeks, likewise Galileo, believed in atoms, though confusion came to his
mind with the idea of physical indivisibility with that of having a mathematical point.

The idea of matter consisting of atoms had been accepted by Newton, like Galileo

“An element is any substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance,”
as Robert Boyle (1627-1691) in 1661 came up with a definition of element that we still use
today.

Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) wrote in his Elements of Chemistry. “If, by the term
elements we mean to express those simple and indivisible atoms of which matter is
composed”.

The concept or existence of indivisible and indestructible particles of an element was


supported by Boyle and Lavoisier.

D. Application

“Fix Me”

Directions:

1. The teacher will provide a picture of the philosophers to each group.


2. They will be given 3 minutes to finish the puzzle and place it on the board.
3. The First group who will finish faster than other group will be given a
reward.

4. They will choose a representative/s to present their work.

IV. Assessment

I – TRUE OR FALSE

Directions: Read the question carefully. Write TRUE if the statements is correct and write
FALSE is the statement is incorrect. Write your answers on the space provided.

today. (TRUE)
