Physical Science 2 Unit 1 Day 1 + Vocab Card Instructions

Do Now
Objective: Students will define and describe words on vocabulary notecards related to atoms and the periodic table: group (periodic table), valence electrons, electronegativity, octet rule, ionization energy, atomic number.

Questions:
1) What is an atom?
2) What 3 particles make up an atom? What is their charge?
3) How are protons and neutrons similar? Different?

Vocab Cards:
  • On the front of the notecard write the word and draw a picture or diagram about the word.
  • On the back of the card, choose 2 of the following:
    • Examples
    • Definition
    • Apex sentence (a sentence that uses the word, not the definition)
    • related words(2)
    • Non-examples (2) 
    • This word means...
    • This word makes me think about...
    • A hint: (what can help you remember the definition or the word better?)

Exit Ticket:
What is an atom? Write a perfect 3 sentence paragraph, use the question in your topic sentence (An atom is...), and use at least 2 of the following words: atomic number, atomic mass, neutrons, protons, electrons, nucleus.
