Lesson Plan (Theory)

Date: 08/12/2016 (Thursday)
Time: 10:00-11:20pm (80miutes)
Venue: Science Lab 1
Class: Form 4 Anggerik
Total no of students: 35
Topic: Chap 4 Periodic Table of elements
Subtopic: 4.1 Analysing the Periodic Table of elements
Prior knowledge:
1. Students learnt to determine the proton number and nucleon number of an atom.
2. Students learnt to write the symbols and standard representation for an atom of any element.
3. Students learnt to write electron arrangements of elements with proton numbers 1 to 20.

Learning outcome/s:
1. To describe the contributions of scientists in the historical development of the Periodic Table.
2. To identify groups and periods in the Periodic Table.
3. To state the basic principle of arranging the elements in the Periodic table from their proton numbers.
4. To relate the electron arrangement of an element to its group and period and to predict the group and period of an element based on its
electron arrangement.

Teaching aid:
3x3 Bingo grids, Powerpoint slides, video, worksheets, copies of Periodic Table, textbooks, practical/ reference books, blank papers, mah-jong
papers, cellophane tape, scissors, marker pens, LCD& Screen, computer.
Science process skills:
Classifying, Inferring, data interpreting, predicting, communicating.
Noble values:
 Appreciate the invention of the Periodic Table.
 Be cooperative in learning; respect others and willing to accept criticism from others.

1. To get the students awake and ready for the lesson. Screen and LCD projector playing the game.
2. To serve as a set induction to help the students to relate the game to
the basic concept of elements grouping in the Periodic Table.

Instruction:
Every student is given a piece of 3x3 Bingo grids. Within 3 minutes, they
are asked to look for 9 person that have the same character written in the task
list and make a cross at the written number once the task is completed. (For
e.g task 1- make a cross at number 1). Whoever finish all the tasks, they are
asked to shout “BINGO” and run to the front and sit in a circle.

(Sample of Bingo grids and list of the tasks: Refer to attachment 1)

Transition:
There are about 118 elements around the world and yet there are more not
discovered yet. Have you wondered how can we group these elements?
From the activity just now you look for your friends who have the common
characters with you. People with the common interest or common characters
tend to stick together. Same thing goes to the elements. Periodic table groups
the elements according to their common characteristics.
