PRELIMINARY ACTIVITIES
1. Prayer
Good day, Grade 8 students!
Before we begin our lesson, let us firstLet us pray and feel the presence of our Almighty
acknowledge the presence of our Creator throughCreator.
a class prayer.
(The students will pray)
2. Greetings
Again, good morning, class! Good morning, Ma’am Bel!
Grade 8, are you ready? Yes Ma’am! We are ready!
(The class secretary will check the attendance
3. Checking of Attendance and report the attendance to the class)
Is anyone absent today? None, Ma’am
4. Classroom Regulations
Let us not forget the classroom rules:
L- Listen actively
E- Engage peacefully
A- Ask questions
R- Respect others
N- No distractions
Is that clear to everyone? Yes Ma’am!
ELICIT (3 minutes)
Previously, you have learned about the subatomic
particles and the two well known atomic models. Now
let’s have an activity title “Pick-A-Door”.
Questions: Answers:
Green door – Name the three subatomic particles Proton, electron and neutron
Blue door – Who are the two scientist that developed John Joseph Thomson and Ernest Rutherford
the atomic models?
Purple door - What was Thomson's Model of the Atom Plum Pudding
called?
Pink door – Differentiate the model of Thomson and Thomson model of an atom does not contain any
Rutherford details about the nucleus whereas the Rutherford
model of the atom explains the nucleus of an atom.
Red door - What was Rutherford’s Model of the Atom Nuclear Model
called?
ENGAGE (5 minutes)
Okay class, do you know that all atoms of an element
contain the same number of protons in their nuclei. The
number of protons in an atom of a given element is
referred as atomic number, designated as Z.
Let’s use this element as our example. Which element
is this one? Iron
Based on this element, what its atomic number?
Its atomic number is 26 ma’am
That is right, so the atomic number of elements can be
found in the upper left part of each element. Did you
understand class? Yes, ma’am
In electrically Neutral atom, the number of protons
must be equal to the number of electrons. Therefore,
remember the acronym (A.P.E) referring to Atomic
number (Z) = Protons = Electrons
Atomic Number (Z) = number of protons (p+)
= number of electrons (e-)
EXPLORE (5 minutes)
Okay, with that lets have an activity title “Find Me”.
Please bring out your periodic table of elements and
your ballpen. Refer to the periodic table below. Locate
the atomic number and answer the guide questions.
Write your answers on a ½ sheet of paper.
Guide questions:
1. What is the element with an atomic number of 15?
2. How many protons does the atom of this element
have?
3. How many electrons are there in an atom of
aluminum (Al)?
4. Among the elements in the periodic table, which has
the smallest number of protons?
Once you’re done, let’s check your activity.
EXPLAIN (5 minutes)
Time is up class. Presenter of each group please get
ready.
Guide questions: Answers:
1. What is the element with an atomic number of 15? 1. Phosphorus
2. How many protons does the atom of this element 2. 15 protons
have? 3. 13 electrons
3. How many electrons are there in an atom of 4. Hydrogen
aluminum (Al)?
4. Among the elements in the periodic table, which has
the smallest number of protons?
Thank you, class. So again, how to determine the
atomic number? By finding the name of the element and looking of its
atomic number in the upper right part.
A single atom is
said to be
electrically
neutral if its
number of
electrons (e-) is
equal to the
number of
protons (p+).
Thus, the atomic
number (Z) of
an element also
specifies the
number of
electrons in
neutral atom.
Mathematically,
for a neutral
atom, Z = p+ = e-
single atom is said to be electrically neutral if its number
of electrons (e-) is equal to the number of protons (p+).
Thus, the atomic number (Z) of an element also
specifies the number of electrons in neutral atom.
Mathematically, for a neutral atom, Z = p+ = e-.
ELABORATE (5 minutes)
Atomic number is the number of protons that identify
the atoms of an element. All atoms of an element
contain the same number of protons in their nuclei. And
the mass number is the sum of the number of protons
and the number of neutrons in an atom. It could also be
found at the periodic table of elements. For finding the
mass number remember the acronym (MPN) referring
to:
Mass number (A) = number of protons (p+) +
number of neutrons (n0)
And lastly, for finding the number of Neutron we have
(NMP)
Number of neutron (n0) = mass number (A) –
number of protons (p+)
Based on our activity, how to calculate the mass
number? By adding up the number of protons and number of
neutrons of the given element.
EVALUATE (5 minutes)
For your quiz, get your quiz notebook and locate the
atomic number and atomic mass of the following
elements. Answer:
Elements Atomic Atomic Elements Atomic Atomic
number mass number mass
O O 8 15.999
Na Na 11 22.990
Fe Fe 26 55.845
Ca Ca 20 40.078
Zn Zn 30 65.38
EXTEND (2 minutes)
Have an advance reading about ions and isotopes.
That’s all for today. Good bye class.
