American Symbols Unit
I. Goals of the Unit
a. The students will identify several American Symbols (SD.SS.W.1)
b. The students will determine the importance of the American Symbols (SD.SS.W.2)
II. Unit Summary
The goal of this unit is for the students to explore several of our Nation’s symbols. They will identify several symbols, summarize their history, and share their importance to America. The students will also create a new symbol which they feel represents America. They will create their symbol, and justify the reasoning why it should be included in the American symbols. To share their information, the students will create a keynote that will be presented to the class.
III. Instructional Objectives
The students will:
1. Identify 4 American symbols
2. Summarize the history of the symbols
3. Determine the importance of the symbol to America
4. Create an American symbol
5. Present their American symbol Keynote
Periodic Table Unit
ReplyDeleteI. Goals of the Unit
a. 9-12.P.1.1. Students are able to use the Periodic Table to determine the atomic structure of elements, valence number, family relationships, and regions (metals, nonmetals, and metalloids).
II. Unit Summary
The goal of this unit is for students to identify elements on the periodic table. They will define the different parts of the element as it is shown. They will describe atomic structure of elements and how it relates to the elements position on the periodic table. They will indicate what the family relationships are and be able to state the region certain elements belong to. The students will design their own element using the guidelines they were shown on how we classify each element. To share information to the class, the students in groups will be designated a specific family or row of the periodic table in which they will show the elements name, symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass along with its metallic characteristics.
III. Instructional Objectives
The students will:
1. Determine protons, neutrons, electrons, mass number, and atomic number from the Periodic Table.
2. Determine the number of valence electrons for elements in the main (s&p) blocks of the Periodic Table.
3. Identify the relative metallic character of an element based on its location on the Periodic Table.
4. Design a new element.
5. Present their family from the periodic table to the class.
The Unit outline has been updated and placed with Chapter 6-Unit of Study Assignment (part 1. Introduction, lesson plans, and Unit Culmination).
