Watch student engagement EXPLODE in your classroom with this new 5E-aligned unit!
What is the 5E model? The 5E model was developed by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) and is an inquiry-based approach to science education designed to promote active learning through five phases: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. This model helps students build a deep understanding of scientific concepts by encouraging them to connect new knowledge with prior experiences and become an active participant in the learning process. In essence, your students will learn science by doing science!
Reach all learners in your classroom using this research-supported instructional approach. This unit bundle includes everything you need to inspire, motivate, differentiate, scaffold, and assess your students in learning chemistry. This technology-infused bundle is perfect for 1:1 classrooms and flipped classrooms.
Included content:
- Organization of the Periodic Table
- Attraction and Coulomb's Law
- Effective nuclear charge
- Atomic/ionic radius trends
- First Ionization energy trend
- Successive ionization energy
- Patterns in ion formation
- Constructing explanations
- Reactivity
- Photoelectron spectroscopy (H)
- Ionization energy calculations (H)
Standards addressed:
Performance Expectations: HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms
HS-PS2-4. Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.
Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter, PS2.B: Types of Interactions, PS4.B: Electromagnetic Radiation, PS4.A: Wave Properties, PS4.B: Electromagnetic Radiation, PS3.A: Definitions of Energy
Specific Science and Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts are identified within each lesson in the teacher lesson planner.
Pre-requisite knowledge required:
This unit is designed to be the fourth unit in an on-level chemistry class. Ideally, your students would have working knowledge of the structure of the atom, ions, and Bohr Models. Ability to solve simple algebraic equations and perform dimensional analysis is also necessary (honors).
Included learning modalities and assessments:
- (7) Guided-Inquiry Activities
- (1) Lab Activity
- (4) Learning Station Activities
- Foldable
- PowerPoint Slides {Editable}
- Task Cards
- Formative Assessments: Google Formsâ„¢, Exit Tickets, Practice, Review Game, Video Questions {Editable}
- Summative Assessments: Unit Tests, Quizzes {Editable}
- Answer keys and grading suggestions for all activities and assessments
- Teacher Lesson Planner: Pacing, Learning Objectives, NGSS-alignment, Teacher Tips/Prep, Assessments
- Includes differentiated lessons and assessments for both college-prep and honors level chemistry.
- Free updates forever!
Unit Duration: This unit takes approximately 2.5-3 weeks of instructional time for a traditional bell schedule. (Approximately 12-15, 50-minute periods or 7.5-8, 90-minute class periods. )
File Types: When you purchase this product, you will have access a zipped folder that contains various file types including: PDFs, Word, and PowerPoint files. External links to online resources are provided in the Teacher Lesson Planner.
