Atoms pt. 2

Science Time! But First....

While you wait for the lesson to start, sort the the two altitude cards assigned for science.

Look at your assigned category and work on categorizing those cards into priority levels.

Agenda for Today

• Journal Sketch using Google Drawings

• Lab Investigation: Electrons, Protons, and Charges

• Scientist Spotlight: Lisa Meitner

• Kahoot! or Timeline Project

• Breaks in between

Journal Sketch

If you look closely at the tip of a sharpened pencil, you will see that it is made of graphite. Going deeper, graphite is made of carbon atoms. Deeper still, each carbon atom is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. 

In this sketch, you will illustrate and these subatomic particles and their charges.

Draw a model of a Carbon atom and its charge

• Your model should show: Electrons, Protons, Neutrons, and Charge

• Annotate the sketch, including labels and statements that describe what a viewer is seeing.

• Put this in your Journal Sketchbook, be prepared to discuss in groups.

Class Lab Options

• Work collaboratively in a student led breakout room.

• Receive extra help from Karen (small group).

• Move quickly through the lab and additional enrichment with Barbara

Scientist Spotlight

Lise Meitner's work in nuclear physics led to the discovery of nuclear fission - where atomic nuclei split in two.

Choose Between two options

• Kahoot!

• Enrichment Card: Add to your Timeline
