atoms, including the masses, electrical
charges, and locations, of protons and
neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in
the electron cloud

8.5A describe the
structure of atoms, including the
masses, electrical charges, and
locations, of protons and
neutrons in the nucleus and
electrons in the electron cloud

Chemistry
•understand the experimental
design and conclusions used in the
development of modern atomic
theory, including Dalton’s
Postulates, Thomson’s discovery of
electron properties, Rutherford’s
nuclear atom, and Bohr’s nuclear
atom.
•use isotopic composition to
calculate average atomic mass of
an element.
•express the arrangement of
electrons in atoms through electron
configurations and Lewis valence
electron dot structures.

11. • Elements are organized on the Periodic Table
based on their physical properties.
• Elements are classified as a metal, nonmetal or
metalloid based on its physical properties.

• Levels of Questions
• Knowledge
• Comprehension
• Application
• Analysis
• Synthesis
• Evaluation
• Plan and provide a variety of questions at each level and build student knowledge and critical thinking by providing
Higher Level Questions.

Other Resources
•Interactive Word Wall- Current, working models with student contributions
• Interactive Word Walls Article: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/files/ss1103_45.pdf
• “Word walls can be arranged on cupboard doors or classroom walls, or hung from
the ceiling with wire and string.”
• “Maximum instructional potential and efficiency are achieved when interactive word-
wall construction is aligned with lessons and students are allowed to participate in
the process. As a result, walls are usually built over many days and are finished as
a unit nears completion. Word walls support units and are changed or replaced as
units change.”
