 * __ Plan for Module 4 Lessons 5-6 __**


 * Day || In-Class Plan || Homework ||
 * 0 ||  || Moodle Discussion Forum – First look at Periodic Table thoughts ||
 * 1 || Beaded Bags Activity: Students get a simple Periodic Table (atomic masses rounded to nearest tenth) and pass around bags of beads labeled as different elements. Students count and record the number of beads (red, yellow, blue) in each bag and look for trends related to the numbers they see listed on the periodic table. || Properties of Atoms – What and Why from M4 L5 and watch two Jing videos on Moodle ||
 * 2 || Review of atomic mass, atomic number, and introduction to isotopes. Start memorizing the first 20 element symbols. || Element Numbers worksheet ||
 * 3 || Continue discussion of Isotopes, Introduce Graphic Organizer assignment || Begin Graphic Organizer for Periodic Numbers assignment on Moodle. ||
 * 4 || Find trends in [|Energy Level Diagrams] and how they relate to the Periodic Table configuration. || Finish Graphic Organizer for Periodic Numbers

Properties of Atoms – Why – Electrons, Energy Levels, and Reactivity from M4 L5 ||
 * 5 || Finish discussion of energy levels and electron configuration, Intro to Flame Test Lab || Moodle Discussion Forum - Chose an element from one of the main eight groups on the Periodic Table and share its atomic mass and number. Describe or draw its energy levels and electron locations. Describe how it will react with other atoms.

Periodic Numbers Quiz on Moodle ||
 * 6 || Flame Test Lab || Periodic Scavenger Hunt ||
 * 7 || Discuss lab and review energy levels, introduction to Periodic Name assignment || Periodic Name ||
 * 8 || Quick Quiz over energy levels, Periodic Table modeling with colored squares of paper, begin “dissecting” Periodic Table by coloring the different groups || Periodic Table of Elements – What //and// Periodic Table of Elements – Why from M4 L6 ||
 * 9 || Finish coloring the Periodic Table and Introduce It's Elemental group project || Periodic Table of Elements – Why – Digging Deeper from M4 L6 ||
 * 10 || Work on It’s Elemental group project || Element Symbol Quiz Practice on Moodle ||
 * 11 || Work on It’s Elemental group project || Element Classification Quiz on Moodle ||
 * 12 || Work on It’s Elemental group project ||  ||
 * 13 || Model good project presentations by discussing the uses and properties of individual elements (other than those chosen for the group project) || Work with group members on project ||
 * 14 || Model good project presentations by discussing the uses and properties of individual elements (other than those chosen for the group project) || Work with group members on project ||
 * 15 || Work on It’s Elemental group project ||  ||

Element Symbol Quiz ||  ||
 * 17 || Last day to work on It’s Elemental ||  ||
 * 18 || Presentations of It’s Elemental products

Reflect on group project || Moodle Discussion Forum - Of the 90 naturally occurring elements, describe how life would be different if one of those elements did not exist. What useful materials and chemical compounds would disappear? Describe and explain at least three ways life would change without that element. Do a little research, think about it, and be creative! Every student must post a different element and respond to two other posts. ||
 * 19 || Begin exam review, decorate and melt #6 plastic cup Ornaments about a favorite element || Element Properties and Uses Quiz on Moodle ||
