The result is a classroom routine that's easy for students to follow and simple for teachers to manage. With 98 standalone lessons across 16 units, you can teach the

In this lesson, students will learn how to draw Bohr models and identify Bohr models. Students should already know how to determine the number of protons and electrons in an atom using the periodic table. This lesson will teach how to determine the number of neutrons in an atom from the mass number. Students will also learn how to organize electrons into principal energy levels using a periodic table to draw proper Bohr models. Download the preview file to get a look! WHAT'S INCLUDED?Th
