 * Best Practice Lesson Plan **

Physical Science, Unit 5, Introduction to the Atom and the Periodic Table
 * Subject/Topic/Title: **

3.4.10.A. Explain concepts about the structure and properties of matter.
 * Standard(s): **
 * Explain the repeating pattern of chemical properties by using the repeating patterns of atomic structure within the periodic table.

3.4.12. A. Apply concepts about the structure and properties of matter.
 * Quantify the properties of matter (e.g., density, solubility coefficients) by applying mathematical formulas.

How has the atomic theory developed and led to the organization of the periodic table?
 * Essential Question: **

1. How did the idea of an atomic theory change as new particles were discovered? 2. What is the grand unification theory? 3. What is the history of the organization of elements in the periodic table? 4. How do you interpret the periodic table?
 * Key Question(s): **
