- History of atomic theory
- This lesson is developed for a regular low level physical science class. In small groups, students will use media and written script to learn and teach each other about major contributions to the development of the atomic theory.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 English Language Development and Science)
- By Anya Childs and Rhonda Garrett.
- The human atom
- Students will act out the role of atoms by dressing up as the atoms of designated elements. They will wear costumes with balloons representing valence electrons. The “atoms” will gain or lose valence electrons in order to achieve chemical stability. The students must then identify the charges of the ions formed.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Development and Science)
- By Kamie Wine.
- Atomic spectra and the Bohr model
- Students view continuous spectra from incandescent and fluorescent lights and line spectra of selected elements. Students relate energy to frequency of light seen in the spectra. The presence of only certain lines in atomic spectra is related to Bohr's model of the atom. In a second experiment, students determine electron energies in the hydrogen atom.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Lisa Bacon.
- Confirming and visualizing Lewis dot structures
- With this activity, students can calculate and visualize the atomic and molecular structures of bonds and lone pairs in the molecule methanol (methyl alcohol, CH3OH).
- Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science)
- By Bob Gotwals.
- The process of archaeology
- In Prehistory, contact, and the Lost Colony, page 2.11
- Archaeologists use several processes to address questions about the past. They may gather new data by conducting regional surveys to locate archaeological sites. Occasionally sites are partially or completely excavated to address specific research questions or to salvage information prior to disturbance by a development project. All data recovered are thoroughly analyzed following scientific inquiry procedures before conclusions are reached.
