Unit 3: Atomic Structure

LP 3.1 : I can design and construct a scientific model to represent the structure of the atom


LP 3.2: I can design, construct, and justify a scientific model to represent the structure and interactions of atoms

LP 3.3 : I can construct multiple types of models to show patterns found in the structure of the atom and the periodic table

LP 3.4 : I can evaluate and refine scientific models of the structure of the atom

STUDENTS WILL:

EXPLORE THE FOLLOWING SCEINCE AND ENGINEERING PRACTICES:

- Developing and Using Models
- Planning and carrying out investigations
- Analyzing and interrupting data
- Constructing explanations and designs solutions

HAVE DISCORSE ON THE FOLLOWING DISCIPLANRT CORE IDEAS:

PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter
Each atom has a charged substructure consisting of a nucleus, which is made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. (HS-PS1-1)
The periodic table orders elements horizontally by the number of protons in the atom’s nucleus and places those with similar chemical properties in columns. The repeating patterns of this table reflect patterns of outer electron states. (HS-PS1-1),(HS-PS1-2)
The structure and interactions of matter at the bulk scale are determined by electrical forces within and between atoms. (HS-PS1-3),(secondary to HS-PS2-6)

OBSERVE THE FOLLIWING CORSS CUTTING CONCPETS;

- Patterns
- System and system models
- Energy and Matter
- Structure and Function

GS 2a, b, c Investigation - Students can design and conduct appropriate scientific investigations 

GS 3a, b, c Modeling - Students can construct and use models to represent and analyze phenomena and systems
