1st Nine Weeks Grades
New Notebook Table of Contents (Place old materials in the paper folder that Mrs.
Mohan gave to you and place in Mrs. Mohan’s file box for safe keeping.)
Ch. 19 Atomic Structure PowerPoint Notes
HW: Use you Edible Atom Activity and journal entry #9 to practice drawing Lewis
structures.
Wednesday, October 23, 2013
Journal Entry #9: Determine the proper number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for
Argon (Ar). Draw a Bohr model which shows the proper placement of these particles.
Draw a Lewis structure showing the valence electrons for Argon.
Periodic Table Basics Activity (Bohr models, Lewis structures, and color coding)
HW: Quiz tomorrow over determining proper number of protons, neutrons, and electrons
for an atom, drawing a Bohr model of a particular atom, and making a Lewis structure for
an atom.

HW: Continue to work on your Atomic Trading Card Project (Projects are due on
Wednesday, October 30th.)
Science Inquiry and Application
During the years of grades 9 through 12, all students must use the following scientific processes with appropriate
laboratory safety techniques to construct their knowledge and understanding in all science content areas:
• Identify questions and concepts that guide scientific investigations;
• Design and conduct scientific investigations;
• Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications;
• Formulate and revise explanations and models using logic and evidence (critical thinking);
• Recognize and analyze explanations and models; and
• Communicate and support a scientific argument.
Study of Matter
• Classification of matter
Heterogeneous vs. homogeneous
o Properties of matter
o States of matter and its changes
• Atoms
o Models of the atom (components)
o Ions (cations and anions)
o Isotopes
• Periodic trends of the elements
o Periodic law
o Representative groups
