Duration: 40 minutes
Period: 6th and 7th
Subject: Chemistry
Topic: Particulate Nature of Matter
Sub Topic: Concept of Atoms And Molecules:
Specific Objectives: At the end of this period the students should be able to:

(1) State what matter is made of?

(2) List at least three scientist that worked that worked on the nature of matter
(3) Define an atom
(4) Explain how molecules are formed.

INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES:

A chart showing some elements and how they combine to form molecules. The periodic
table chart.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

Student have been taught atoms and molecules .

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The teacher quickly evaluates the students previous knowledge with the following
question : (a) What is matter (b) Define an atom.

PRESENTATION
STEP 1: PARTICULATE NATURE OF MATTER.
The teacher guides the students to know more about matter by telling them matter is
anything that has weight and can occupy space. The teacher then ask the students to list
things that is matter.

STUDENTS ACTIVITIES:
Students will list things they know to be matter around them.

STEP 11: SCIENTIST WHO WORKED ON THE NATURE OF MATTER.

The teacher also guides the students to know the nature of matter by telling them that the
nature of matter was not known to man in the early days that in the later days scientist
such as Anaxoqqorals lecippus, Democritus, Dalton e.t.c discovered that matter was
made up of particles which could not be further divided. These particles were called
ATOMS from the Greek word Atoms meaning invisible..

STEP III: THE CONCEPT OF ATOMS

The teacher also guides the students to know that matter according to Democritus was
made up of invisible particles called atoms which could not be further divided and that
atoms in different matter have different shape i.e every substance (matter) has its own
kind of atoms different from another. She further guides the students to know that
Democritus with other scientist also discovered that atoms combine to form molecules
and that compounds contains at least two different atoms.

STUDENT ACTIVIES:
Students will list at last three different compounds.

STEP IV: THE CONCEPT OF MOLECULES:

The teacher further guides the students to know more about molecules by telling them
that atoms combine to form molecules and that a molecule of an element or a compound
is the particle of that element or compound which I can exist separately. She also guides
the students to know that the number of atoms in a molecule is called Atomicity of that
molecule she then gives the following examples. Molecules containing two atoms is
dramatic e.g H2, CL2,O2,M2 and its and its atomicity is 2, three storms is triatom e.g O3,
H2O e.t.c four atoms is tetratomic e.g P4, NH3 and many atoms is called polyatomic e.g
CH4, C2H6 , CaCo3.

STUDENTS ACTIVITIES:
Students will write two atoms that are monitoring diatomic, tetratomic and state their
atomicity.

EVALUATION:

The teacher evaluates the students with the following questions to ascertain their level of
understanding on the lesson taught.

(1) State what matter is made up of air?

(2) List at least three scientist that worked on the nature of matter
(3) Define an atom;
(4) Explain how molecules are formed.
CONCLUSION:

The teacher concludes the lesson as follows

Matter is made up of particles called atoms. Democritus, Anaxagoras, Leucippus e.t.c
worked on the nature of matter and discovered that matter is matter of particles called
atoms derived from the Greek word ATOMS meaning invisible .

The teacher also gives the student the opportunity to ask questions which she answer
accordingly.

ASSIGNMENT

Explain briefly the nature of matter.

Topic: Daltons Atomic Theory
Sub Topic: Constituent Of an Atom

Specific Objectives: At the end of this period the students should be able to:

(1) State four ideas of Daltons Atomic Theory

(2) Name three scientist who discovered the sub-particles of an atoms.
INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES:
Students have been taught matter consisting of invisible particles called atoms.
INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES:
Structure of some elements e.g hydrogen, oxygen,
CONTENT DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
The teacher quickly evaluates the students previous knowledge with the following
questions. (a) what is matter made up of? (b) What is an atom.
PRESENTATION
STEP 1: DALTONS ATOMIC THEORY
The teacher guides the students to know more about the nature of an atom by
telling that John Dalton was the first to put forward his theory about the nature of
an atom. Dalton believes that all chemical reaction could be explain in terms of
combination of atoms which was the beginning of his atomic theory. The teachers
also guide the students to know the main ideas of Daltons atomic theory as
summarized below.
(1.) All elements are made up of small invisible particles called atoms.
(2.) Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
(3.) All atoms of an element are identical in every respect having the same
mass, volume, chemical properties e.t.c.
(4.) All atoms of different elements have different masses, volume, chemical,
properties e.t.c.
(5.) Atoms of different elements can combine together in simple definite whole
numbers ratio (one to one, one to two e.t.c) to form compound.
 She also guides the students to know that Dalton atomic theory was partially
supported by experimental evidence reduced from the following laws.

(1.) law of conservation ( in destructibility) of matter or mass.

(2.) Law of multiple proportion
(3.) Law of reciprocal proportion.

STUDENTS ACTIVITIES

Students will list ten atoms (elements) they know.

STEP 11: CONSTITUENTS OF AN ATOM.

The also guides the students to know that an atom is made up other tiny sub-particles
which Dalton did not proposed in its atomic theory and that they include neutons, protons
and electrons. She also further guides the students to know that these – sub – atomic
particles were discovered by the following scientist.

1. Henri Becquerel
2. J.J Thompson
3. R.A Millikan
4. Harvey Fletcher
5. Ruther Ford

STEP III: RUTHERFORD’S VIEW OF AN ATOM.

The teacher further guides the students to know about Ruther Fords view of an atom by
telling them that Rutherford discovered that an atom was composed of a tiny nucleus
which is positively charged with nearly all the mass concentrated inside the nucleus while
its electrons are some distance away from the nucleus. The teacher then use the following
simple atom to represent Ruther Ford’s idea.

STUDENTS ACTIVITIES

Student will draw structure of simple atoms e.g oxygen, nitrogen, lithium.

STEP IV: CHARGES OF THE SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES

The teacher also guides the students to know the charges of the sub-atomic particles by
telling them that neutron is natural, electron is negatively charged with -1 as its charge
while proton is positively charged with +1 as its charged.
Particle Relative Mass Relative Charge Where found
Proton 1 +1 Nucleus
Neutron 1 0 Nuclues
Electron 1/1840 -1 Shell

EVALUATION:

The teacher evaluates the students with the following questions to ascertain their level of
understanding on the lesson taught.

(1) State four ideas of Daltons atomic theory.

(2) Name three scientist who discovered the sub-particle of an atom.
(3) Explain Ruther Fords view about an atom.
(4) Draw a structure of a simple atom and state the charges on the sub-particles of
atom.

Sub particles of atom.

CONCLUSION:

The teacher summarize the lesson as follows:

Dalton was the first to discover the nature of an atom his ideas about an element was
that an atom is made up of invisible particles called atom and atoms can neither be
created know destroyed. An atom was later discovered by other scientist to contain
other sub-atomic particles, neutron, proton, electron. Some of the scientist who
discovered the sub-atomic particles are Henri Becquerel, J.J Thompson, R,A Milikan,
Harvey Fetcher, Ruther Ford. The teacher also gives the student the opportunity to ask
questions which she answers accordingly.

ASSIGNMENT

Discuss the modern atomic theory.
