previous lesson or
presenting a new To formally start our class this day, let’s have first a prayer.
lesson

Class monitor kindly check the attendance. Please! Yes Sir.

Thank you.

Before we will proceed to our next topic we will have first a

short review with our previous lesson.

Emoji?
Direction: The student is task to select an emoji. Each emoji
has a question that to be answered.
 Note: If the student could not answer the question there will
be a lifeline, called: “Call a Friend”

Questions:
Happy Questions: Proton
1. Be positive and think like a _______. Neutron
2. If you’re happy, be neutral like a ______. Positive
3. Think like a proton and always be ________. Neutron
4. Always sticks to neutral like ________. Proton
5. Always be happy like a positive ________.
Sad Questions: Electron
1. Don’t think negative like _______. Electron
2. Don’t let negative things comes to you like _____. Positive, Negative
3. To attain peace think a neutron neither ___ nor ____.

Excited Questions: Positive

1. Be like a proton ______, even when you surrounded
Electron
by negatives.
Protons, Neutron
2. Excited state like a negative charge _________.
3. Isotopes have the same number of ______ but Mass number
different number of ______.
4. A shorthand notation for isotope includes the
element’s symbol and _____.
Atomic number
Shy Questions: Mass number
1. The number of proton is called the _________.
2. It is the total number of protons and neutrons in an Shelf life, prevent
atom? decay
3. Isotopes are also important in agriculture in order to
extend their ________ and ________. None Sir.

Any questions to our previous lesson class? Yes Sir.

Did you already know on what an isotope is? Yes we are.

How about writing a shorthand notation? None.

Any clarification?

If none. Our next lesson is connected with our new topic this
day which is about sub-atomic particles.

B. Establishing a At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to

purpose for the determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a
lesson particular atom.
C. Presenting Okay. Let us try to look on this video. Listen carefully and
Examples/ take note the important ideas.
instances of the
new lesson

What is the video all about? How to find protons,

neutrons, and
electrons
Very good.

D. Discussing new PROTONS

concepts and
practicing new
skills #1

Ernest Rutherford discovered “protons” in the year 1919.

Carries a single positive electrical charge, and every atomic
nucleus contains one or more protons.
Remember:
Number of Protons = Atomic Number
Number of Protons=
Altogether kindly read. Atomic Number of
the element.
Thank you.
Examples:

Proton=? Proton=? None.

Any questions class?
E. Discussing new NEUTRONS
concepts and
practicing new
skills #2

The actual discovery was made

by English physicist, James Chadwick in year 1932 “no
charge at all”
Remember:
Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number
Number of Neutrons
Please read. = Mass Number -
Atomic Number

Thank you.

Examples: A

AA

Neutron=?
Neutron=?

Any clarification class?

F. Discussing new ELECTRONS
concepts and
practicing new
skills #3

Discovered by J.J.Thomson in1897

Cathode rays and streams of negatively charged particles with
a mass about 1,000 times smaller than a hydrogen atom.
The so called “corpuscles” but renamed “electrons” by Irish
physicist G.J. Stoney

Remember:
Number of Electrons = Number of Protons
Sometimes:
Number of Electrons = atomic number – charge

Examples:

Electron=? Electron=?
Proton, neutron, and
 electron
What are particles that make up an atom?

Any questions class?

G. Developing Activity
Mastery (Lead to Direction: Complete the table below;
Formative
Assessment #4 Count Me In!

Procedure:
1. Determine the number of protons, neutrons and
electrons in an atom.
2. Using the worksheet below, fill out the needed sub-
atomic particles. Take note that:
Atomic number=Number of Protons=Number of electrons
Mass number=number of protons+ number of neutrons
3. These activity will be finished within 10 minutes.
4. After 10 Minutes each group will post their work in
the board.
5. Each group will present their activity.

How do you find our activity class?

None.
Is there any questions?

H. Finding How are protons, neutron, and electrons are important in our
practical lives?
applications of
concepts and Proton Uses as Proton Therapy
skills in daily This therapy uses the ion radiation to kill tumors. Proton
living therapy is suitable for patient of cancers, including breast
cancer. Moreover, it’s clear that the proton therapy can
improve the precision in that prostate cancer treatments.

Neutron science is the science of everyday life. It is important

for the development of new and better computer chips,
cosmetics, detergents, textiles, paints, fuels, drugs, batteries
and plastics.
 Why should we always be positive in our lives?

Electrons play an essential role in numerous physical

phenomena, such as electricity, magnetism, chemistry and
thermal conductivity, and they also participate in
gravitational, electromagnetic and weak interactions.

These can be integrate also in mathematics in terms of

determining the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

I. Making What you have learned in our lesson class?

generalization and What are the three sub-atomic particles in atom? Proton, neutron, and
abstractions about electrons
the lesson What is Proton?
What is neutron?
What are electrons?

How do three particles differ from each other?

How can we determine the number of Proton, neutron, and

electrons?
None Sir.
Any additional information class?
None.
Any questions or clarification?
