Lesson process

Stage Teacher/learner’s activity Learning points

Intro Revise previous work: -matter is any substance that
-recall definition of matter occupies space and has mass
-recall composition of matter -Matter is composed of small
Matter particles (atoms, molecules, and
ions).
-atoms are the basic building
Atom molecules ions blocks of matter
 LESSON PLAN

Development -teacher and pupils define an atom Atom:

1 - teacher and pupils describe the basic - it is the smallest particle of matter
structure of an atom that take part in a chemical reaction
Atom -an atom is made of electrons,
protons and neutrons.

Electrons Protons Neutrons

electrons

neutrons

protons

2 -teacher and pupils identify common Examples of atoms and their

atoms using symbols symbols
-oxygen atom with symbol of O
-hydrogen atom with symbol of H
-nitrogen atom with symbol N
-chlorine atom with symbol Cl

Conclusion Exercise
1.define matter
2. name the particles which compose
matter
2. define an atom
3. name the parts which make up an
atom
