Chemistry Unit 4 Day 2

Learning Objective: Students will learn about electrostatic force by completing a simulation and will analyze and interpret data in writing using technical vocabulary (coulomb's Law, protons, electrons, atoms) and science ideas (cause/effect, structure/function, energy changing forms).
Questions:

1. What determines the strength of electrostatic force between positives and negatives? (book)
2. What does an atom look like? (book)
3. How do electrostatic forces affect the electrons in an atom?

Answer Choices for number 3:

	A. The electrons are attracted to the protons. B. The electrons are pushed away from the nucleus. C. The electrons are attracted to each other. D. The electrons are attracted to the neutrons.

Exit Ticket for Day 2: 

• If you had to explain electrostatic force and the forces in atoms to a classmate, what would you tell them?
• What would be the most important technical vocabulary term for them to know (explain why it's important)?
