Time: 110 minutes (to be divided into two 55 minute class periods)
Teachers: Subject: Grade:
Marissa Beaith Chemistry/ Periodic Table 8th
Janelle Ruiz
Standard:
Objective (Explicit):
SWBAT create a periodic table model (day 1)
SWBAT identify patterns in the periodic table for: (day 2)
o Metal/ nonmetal/ metalloid
o Family/ group characteristics
o Atomic numbers
Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):
Creation of a periodic table model (day 1).
Completion of a graphic organizer, where students are asked to list five key concepts learned and additional
questions they may still have (day 2).
Sub-objectives, SWBAT (knowledge, skill, purpose):
N/A
Key vocabulary: Materials:
1. Matter- Has weight and takes up space 1. Periodic table element cards
2. Element- A type of atom. (provided by the teacher)
3. Periodic Table- A model used to organize the 2. Blank periodic table
elements based on patterns and trends. (provided by the teacher)
4. Family/Group- Columns ( go down) on the periodic 3. Graphic organizer handout
table. All elements in the same group or family (provided by the teacher)
have similar characteristics – they act alike ( just like 4. Comp books
your family). 5. Pencil/ colored pencils
5. Period- Rows across the periodic table. The 6. Tape/glue/stapler

period. c-table.
6. Atomic Number- Number of an element on the
periodic table.
7. Atomic Mass- Total mass of one atom of an
element.
8. Reactivity- Ability of an element to go through a
chemical change (reacts with another element).
**Review (10min)**
Review from previous days discussion on atoms, molecules, and elements. Introduce that day’s activity on elements
(in the periodic table)
Engage (5min)
How do you organize things?
For example: Music on your iPod, clothes in your closet, school binders/ comp books, ect.
**Closure (5min)**
The closure will ask what the students learned, why it is important to organize the elements, and what would happen if
the elements were not organized. They will write down a response in their comp books and then have a class
discussion.
Teacher Will: Students Will:
Element Cards Round 1/ Initial Model
Place students into groups of 3-4 Get into assigned groups
Hand out element cards Make observations in comp book
Ask students to record initial observations in their Organize the element cards into an order
comp books Answer prompt in comp books
Instruct groups to organize the cards in a way that Participate in class discussion
makes sense to them
Ask students to write down how/methods used to
organize element cards in comp books
Guide class discussion/circulate
Element Cards Round 2/ Secondary Model
Hand out 2nd set of element cards Develop a secondary model by organizing the
Ask students to integrate the new cards with the old new cards with the old (trying to identify
ones, editing and making adjustments to the possible patterns/trends)

techniques. Circulate. Question Groups. Make observations in comp book
Ask students to record observations/new or learned
ideas in comp books
Final Model
Have students make changes to their model Develop a final model by editing and adjusting
the cards based on new information and
possible patterns/trends
Answer/ Explanation
Reveal the answer by showing a picture of the Listen and ask questions in an open discussion
periodic table and explain it to the class.
Guide discussion. Questions. Circulate.
Co-Teaching Strategy
One teacher goes over procedures and the other enforces classroom management. The two teachers circulate the
classroom offering help, answering students’ questions, making sure students are staying on task, and managing
classroom behaviors.
Differentiation Strategy
Set up purposeful grouping, utilizing students’ background, to optimize the output of collaboration and academic
communication.
END OF DAY 1
**Review (10min)**
Review what was learned the previous day (elements, periodic table organization).
Engage- In what ways are you similar to your family?
Co-Teaching Strategy
One teacher circulates the classroom offering help, answering students’ questions, making sure students are staying
on task, and managing classroom behaviors. The other teacher gives notes/instructions/leads class discussion.
Differentiation Strategy
Grouping will allow students to work at optimal academic levels.
Pictures and videos will allow students the opportunity for multiple learning styles.
Elaborate
The students will be filling out and coloring their blank copy of the periodic table of elements at the same time that the
teacher is explaning notes.
Teacher Will: Students Will:
Explain atomic number/mass and element Fill in/color blank copy of periodic table of
symbol/name elements
Show where the periods and groups are located on
the periodic table
show where the metals, non-metals, and metalloids
can be found on the periodic table
explain the atomic number, atomic mass, and
reactivity trends

table.
Co-Teaching Strategy
One teacher explains notes/ guides the student discussion, while the other circulates the classroom to manage
classroom behaviors.
Differentiation Strategy
Provide students with ample time to copy notes/color/lable.
Evaluate (10min)
The students will be asked to create of a periodic table model (day 1). They will be evaluated on the
knowledge gained by completing a think-write-pair-share. They will be asked what they learned about the
periodic table of elements and why it is important to organize the elements. The students will answer this
prompt in their comp books then share out in a class dscussion.
The students will complete of a graphic organizer, where they are asked to list five key concepts learned and
additional questions they may still have (day 2). They will end by sharing out in a class discussion
