Content Objective
Students will demonstrate comprehension of how elements each have a specific type of atom and how they are structured by interacting with a computer simulation by PhET.
P.PM.M.2. Elements are composed of a single kind of atom that are grouped into families with similar    properties on the periodic table.
P.PM.07.21 Identify the smallest compound that makes up an element

Language Objective
Students will write to describe how elements each have a specific atom structure by creating a list of “rules” as to how to draw atom models for each element.

HOMEWORK – Students should review for the chapter 3 test which will be next week.  Students can use the many resources on the iLearn site to strenghten their understanding of the concepts.
