Description: Teach the basics of matter and introduce atoms and the subatomic particles that form them. Throughout these interactive notes students will read science articles, annotate key concepts, explain and summarize their learning, and model atoms as they explore some of the first concepts of physical science. Then using the included learning check, students will demonstrate their understanding about the basics of matter, the structure of atoms, and the properties of subatomic parti

Build an Atom PhET Virtual Lab. There's a lot of these worksheets on the market! But I was never satisfied with what I saw... So I decided to make the virtual lab experience I wanted for my students! This virtual lab is designed to give students the opportunity to practice modeling elements and explore properties like atomic mass and net charge in more depth. The concepts in this unit are difficult for students to visualize, which is why they’ll love the PhET resource! Throughout this five-

Description: This lesson is designed to teach students how to use the periodic table to identify and correctly model elements. The interactive notes guide students through analyzing atomic models, reviewing science texts, and exploring the periodic table. The resource also includes supplemental activities to help your students practice in novel and fun ways! Included Resources & How to Use: Elements & The Periodic Table Notes (Student Version)Print the PDF for students to complete and add to th

Description: In this modeling activity, student choice and creativity is leveraged to boost engagement! Students will get to select an element to model AND get to pick their method of modeling. They will get to choose between creating a physical model (with food!), a computer model, or an artistic model. The lesson continues as students use their understanding of atoms to complete peer reviews of each other’s models. Both the model and the peer review can be valuable measures of student profici

Teach the basics of matter and introduce atoms and the subatomic particles that form them. This PPT serves as the companion guide for the Matter & Atoms Interactive Notes. While using the interactive notes, students will have opportunities to read, annotate, explain, and model as they explore some of the first concepts of physical science.
