Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table: a full term of science

Ten ready-to-teach lessons for Year 10 Chemical sciences. Print this pack and the term is prepared: every lesson has a plan, talk prompts, a student worksheet, cards or tickets, and answers.

AC9S10U06

explain how the structure and properties of atoms relate to the organisation of the elements in the periodic table

Start here: five minutes to Monday

Skim the term at a glance on the next page.
Print the lesson you need (plan, worksheet, cards).
Gather everyday items under You need on the plan.
Open the free interactive unit on your board.
Teach from the plan: timings, prompts and answers are on one page.

No science background needed

Written for the busy generalist teacher. Plain words, common muddles, and model answers are on every plan. Safety: no open flames or boiling water unless an adult controls a warm-water step named on the plan.

On the board

This pack is the printable half of a free interactive unit. On-screen pictures include: “Build a small atom”, “Configuration sets the address”, “Walk a trend”, “Same group, same outer shell”, “Arrange the grid by structure”. Lesson plans name which picture to show.

The term teaches AC9S10U06. Lessons also work these Inquiry and Human Endeavour descriptors:

AC9S10I01develop investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses to test relationships and develop explanatory models

AC9S10I02plan and conduct valid, reproducible investigations to answer questions and test hypotheses, including identifying and controlling for possible sources of error and, as appropriate, developing and following risk assessments, considering ethical issues, and addressing key considerations regarding heritage sites and artefacts on Country/Place

AC9S10I03select and use equipment to generate and record data with precision to obtain useful sample sizes and replicable data, using digital tools as appropriate

AC9S10I04select and construct appropriate representations, including tables, graphs, descriptive statistics, models and mathematical relationships, to organise and process data and information

AC9S10I05analyse and connect a variety of data and information to identify and explain patterns, trends, relationships and anomalies

AC9S10I06assess the validity and reproducibility of methods and evaluate the validity of conclusions and claims, including by identifying assumptions, conflicting evidence and areas of uncertainty

AC9S10I07construct arguments based on analysis of a variety of evidence to support conclusions or evaluate claims, and consider any ethical issues and cultural protocols associated with accessing, using or citing secondary data or information

AC9S10I08write and create texts to communicate ideas, findings and arguments effectively for identified purposes and audiences, including selection of appropriate content, language and text features, using digital tools as appropriate

AC9S10H01explain how scientific knowledge is validated and refined, including the role of publication and peer review

AC9S10H02investigate how advances in technologies enable advances in science, and how science has contributed to developments in technologies and engineering

AC9S10H03analyse the key factors that contribute to science knowledge and practices being adopted more broadly by society

AC9S10H04examine how the values and needs of society influence the focus of scientific research

Assessment

Every plan ends with answers and look-fors.
The assessment kit near the front has a rubric and class checklist.
Lesson 10 is the summative check and model task.

Assessment without extra work

Lesson plans carry look-fors. Lesson 10 is summative. Use this sheet for ongoing notes.

The three levels

Idea	Working towards	At standard	Beyond
Big idea	names an example with help	explains the unit idea in Year 10 words	applies the idea to a new example
Evidence	guess only	links a claim to something observed or measured	compares two pieces of evidence
Science words	everyday words only	uses unit words correctly	explains a word to a partner
Inquiry habit	follows steps with support	plans or records with the scaffolds	improves a plan after a first try

A note home

Dear families

This term in science, Year 10 explores atomic structure and the periodic table. We use observation, simple tests and clear science words. Ask: What did you notice today? What evidence did you use?

Try this at home

Talk about a pattern you both notice outdoors or in the kitchen.
Ask for one science word from the week and use it in a sentence.
Draw a simple diagram of something they investigated.

Warm regards,

The Year 10 team

Watch for

Skipping the board and only copying answers -- bring them back to the picture.
Correct answer with no explanation -- ask how do you know?

Make it easier, make it bigger

Easier: complete the first two worksheet items together.
Bigger: invent one new example for a partner to solve.

Answers and look-fors

Meeting the idea sounds like a clear sentence about same group, same outer shell.
Drawings or numbers match the board story.
