Explore (35min)
The teacher will give a brief background on Dmirti Mendeleev (organized the periodic table of elements). The teacher
will tell the students that they will be developing their own periodic table model just like Mendeleev. The students will
be placed into pre-assigned groups of 3-4, with specific roles. They will be given a set of element cards. They will be
told that they are only receiving some elements (just like when Mendeleev discovered the first elements). They will be
asked to make initial observations in their comp books. Then they will make a perliminary periodic table model by
placing the cards into an order that makes sense to them. They will reflect on how they have organized the cards, in
their comp books. After a short class discussion, they will be given an additional set of element cards and asked to
place them into order with their other cards, making a secondary model (just like when mendeleev discovered more
elements). They will go on a gallery walk to see how their peers organization compares to theirs. They will be asked to
reflect on what they saw/found out in their comp books. After a short class discussion, they will make changes to
finalize their model. The teacher will reveal the answer by showing a picture of what the periodic table looks like.
**Closure (5min)**
The closure will ask what the students learned, why it is important to organize the elements, and what would happen if
the elements were not organized. They will write down a response in their comp books and then have a class
discussion.
Teacher Will:
Element Cards Round 1/ Initial Model
Place students into groups of 3-4
Hand out element cards
Ask students to record initial observations in their
comp books
Instruct groups to organize the cards in a way that
makes sense to them
Ask students to write down how/methods used to
organize element cards in comp books
Guide class discussion/circulate
Element Cards Round 2/ Secondary Model
Hand out 2nd set of element cards
Students Will:
Gallery walk
Make observations in comp book
Co-Teaching Strategy
One teacher goes over procedures and the other enforces classroom management. The two teachers circulate the
classroom offering help, answering students questions, making sure students are staying on task, and managing
classroom behaviors.
Differentiation Strategy
Set up purposeful grouping, utilizing students background, to optimize the output of collaboration and academic
communication.
END OF DAY 1
**Review (10min)**
Review what was learned the previous day (elements, periodic table organization).
Engage- In what ways are you similar to your family?

Co-Teaching Strategy
One teacher circulates the classroom offering help, answering students questions, making sure students are staying
on task, and managing classroom behaviors. The other teacher gives notes/instructions/leads class discussion.
Differentiation Strategy
Grouping will allow students to work at optimal academic levels.
Pictures and videos will allow students the opportunity for multiple learning styles.
Elaborate
The students will be filling out and coloring their blank copy of the periodic table of elements at the same time that the
teacher is explaning notes.

Co-Teaching Strategy
One teacher explains notes/ guides the student discussion, while the other circulates the classroom to manage
classroom behaviors.
Differentiation Strategy
Provide students with ample time to copy notes/color/lable.
Evaluate (10min)
The students will be asked to create of a periodic table model (day 1). They will be evaluated on the
knowledge gained by completing a think-write-pair-share. They will be asked what they learned about the
periodic table of elements and why it is important to organize the elements. The students will answer this
prompt in their comp books then share out in a class dscussion.
The students will complete of a graphic organizer, where they are asked to list five key concepts learned and
additional questions they may still have (day 2). They will end by sharing out in a class discussion
Teacher Will:
Circulate
Guide class discussion
