Description

Looking for a high school chemistry unit that covers everything about the atom? This 18-day lesson bundle covers atomic structure, isotopes, nuclear decay, electron configurations, and valence electrons with engaging activities and user-friendly guided notes! All student pages come in both PRINT and DIGITAL versions for efficient use in class or through distance learning.

PLEASE NOTE: This Chemistry unit is a virtual product and only comes as a downloadable .zip file to your email inbox.

This is Unit 3 of my Full Chemistry Curriculum. If you purchase this unit and find you like it enough to buy the full curriculum, I will discount the price of the full curriculum to account for this unit purchase. Simply contact me at su*****@*************ce.com so I can assist you with this.

➤Why choose a unit from Suburban Science?

1) The included NGSS, state standards, pacing guides, and differentiation ideas make lesson planning a breeze.

2) Student pages are compiled into one document that’s ready to print and copy all at once!

3) Supplementary resource links and optional practice pages are great for sub days, additional exploration, or struggling students.

4) Colorful, animated PowerPoints have bolded terms that match the fill-in-the-blank Cornell Notes for error-proof student notes.

5) Doodle Notes provide additional methods for summarizing and note-taking in a highly visual and aesthetic format.

6) Thorough teacher instructions and student examples are included for new teachers, but it’s still easy for experienced teachers to add in old favorites!

7) Editable PowerPoints, Cornell Notes, practice pages, and assessments make it quick and easy for you to add or remove content to fit your standards and the needs of your class.

 

➤What topics are included in this unit?

• History and Evolution of the Atomic Model (scientists & their experiments)
• Structure of the Atom
• Isotopes & Nuclear Decay
• Average Atomic Mass
• Bohr Model (calculating and drawing electrons in energy levels)
• The Electromagnetic Spectrum & Quantum Theory
• Electron Configurations & Valence Electrons (VSEPR & Bonding are covered in Unit 5- Bonding)

The unit is aligned to NGSS practices and many state standards. If you’d like to know whether your state standards are covered, you can send me an email at su*****@*************ce.com.

 

➤What textbook can I use with this unit?

This unit is comprehensive enough to stand on its own without a textbook. If you prefer to use one, you can contact me for textbook suggestions at su*****@*************ce.com.

➤Can I edit these resources to fit my needs?

Some of the files in this unit are editable. The text on the PowerPoints, Cornell Notes, and task cards is all editable so you can adjust the level of content and wording. The pacing guide, some practice pages, quizzes, and tests are all fully editable. Labs, activities, extension pages, and any images included in this unit are in non-editable PDF formats to protect my intellectual property rights and those of the illustrators whose images I’ve purchased for use in this resource.
