Lesson Plan in Science 7
Date: June 17, 2025 Grade 7- Ammonite/Nautilus (10:00-11:00/11:00-12:00)
I. OBJECTIVE
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
1. Describe the evolution of atomic models from Democritus to Quantum Mechanical
Model.
2. Compare key features of at least three atomic models.
3. Collaborate to create and explain a physical model representing an atomic theory.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
Topic: Atomic Models
References: MATATAG Curriculum Guide, Junior High School Science Modules
Materials: Art materials (clay, wires, foam balls), reference handouts, multimedia
presentation, worksheet, rubric
Values Integration: Collaboration, communication, and creativity
III. PROCEDURE
A. Elicit
Review: Ask “What is an atom?” and “How do we know what atoms look like?”
Show historical pictures of atomic models.
B. Engage
Present short timeline video of atomic models: Democritus, Dalton, Thomson,
Rutherford, Bohr, Schrödinger.
Ask: “What did you notice changing through the years?”
C. Explore
Group Project:
o Assign each group one model.
o Groups research and construct a 3D representation using materials.
o Prepare a short presentation explaining who developed it, its features, and how
it improved on earlier models.
D. Explain
Groups present models.
Teacher summarizes major breakthroughs and limitations of each model.
Use a chart to compare features: structure, electrons, nucleus, predictability.
E. Elaborate
Discussion: “Why do scientific models evolve?”
Relate to the concept of evidence-based science and technological advancement.
F. Evaluate
Rubric-based group performance evaluation.
Individual worksheet: matching names to models, labeling diagrams, and short
answers.
IV. ASSIGNMENT
Creative writing prompt: “If you were an atom, which model would represent you and why?”
Include three characteristics from the chosen model.
