What makes baking soda and vinegar react so aggressively? Why does the periodic table look so funky? Who were major contributors to the organization of the elements? How does the creation of the universe fit into all of this? All of these questions will be answered and more in this unit of chemistry. This unit will focus on using the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. The class will make a timeline of the creation of the universe to get a background of atomic particles. After, we will dive into the periodic table to determine its shape and place in the chemical field. We will explore ionic bonds and what makes the atoms hold together, while simultaneously exploring the different periods and groups in the periodic table. Classwork and homework will feel like a thing to pass time on a boring day. Hopefully by the end of the unit, a different perspective of chemistry will be taken so that you can see the world in its purest form, the atom and what makes up the atom. The nuts and bolts of the creation of everything is just the beginning in this unit. As the unit progresses, experiments will be conducted. Online portfolios will be created, and we will explore the idea of a world without a particular element.
• atoms make up everything in the universe. • chemistry can be applied to everyday life. • the periodic table organizes the elements.
• How do atoms make up the universe? • Why and how does chemistry apply to everyday life? • How does the periodic table organize the elements?
Next Generation Science Content Area: Physical Science Standard Label: HS-PS1 Matter and its Interactions Grade Level SpanHigh School Performance Indicator: A Standard: Structure and Properties of Matter
Students who demonstrate understanding can: use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
• Terminology of orbitals, periods, groups, elements, atoms, electrons, protons, and neutrons • Critical details of the periodic table, groupings of elements, electron shells, and orbitals. • Important events and people such as who invented the periodic table, how the periodic table built itself, and when key events (Manhattan Project) changed the way the periodic table looked
• predict an elements properties based on the number of electrons in the outer shell of an atom • illustrate the creation of the universe using its fundamental building blocks • test reactions using common household items • compare elements' properties based on the number of electrons in the outer shell • imagine a world without a particular element • recognize chemical reactions in everyday life
Goal: The goal is to reorganize the periodic table to mainstream a specific task for chemistry. Role: You are a lowly intern working for Dow Chemical. Audience: Your audience are judges of a panel and Donna Nelson, president of the American Chemical Society. Situation: You must impress your boss so that you can get a promotion and bring reputation to the company. Product/Presentation: You will create a presentation that involves at least one info-graphic describing your take on the periodic table.
• Audio record a debate with a student on a given reaction to see if the reaction will take place or not. • Make a digital timeline on hstry.com to recreate the creation of the universe. • Use imovie to record a reaction at home. • Students will use a periodic table app to find trends in the periodic table. Findings will be recorded and shared on a google doc. • Use glogster to create a poster on a world without an assigned element. • Use weebly to create a portfolio and document known reactions.
• Pre-Asessment: Use kahoot to survey general knowledge of periodic table, history of chemistry, and reactions. • Checking for Understanding: Clickers, word sort, human graph, fist to five, exit ticket, slap it. • Timely Feedback: Self, Peer, Teacher
By what criteria will student products/performances be evaluated?
• Understanding 3 • NGSS Chemistry HS-PS1-1
• Periodic Table • Chemical Organization
Your boss at Dow Chemical has asked you, the chemistry intern, to participate in a national contest to bring reputation to the company. The contest is asking for a new way to organize the periodic table in order to streamline specific tasks for chemists. You will give a short 5 minute presentation on your periodic table that will include one infograph about how the original periodic table functions. You will present in front of a panel of judges and Donna Nelson, president of the American Chemical Society. You have the freedom to design the periodic table any way you would like as long as it makes sense, and that it fits nicely on a single sheet of paper and who knows? Maybe a promotion could be a possibility if you win.
