QaD Teacher Support Materials Focus: Atoms, Elements, Chemical bonds and the use of models Instructions Remember to download the Weekly Class Report and use it to help plan the 15 20 minute Weekly Follow-up lesson. Use the Weekly Class Report to determine which group students will be in for the Suggested Activities (score 0 or 1 = Red, score 2 or 3 = Yellow, score 4 or 5 = Green). Please refer to the QaD Teacher Guide, and also the Using the Teacher Support Materials Video to assist you in understanding and using the Weekly Class Report and the Teacher Support Materials. QaD Weekly Questions These are the questions completed by the students this week. Please refer to these as you look at the Weekly Class Report. Each student will also need a copy of these questions. Misconceptions Information (by Day) Use these with the Weekly Questions and the Weekly Class Report to better understand student errors. What TIMSS content and skills are assessed by Thursday s question? This table shows the content and skills that Thursday s question assesses.

Follow-up Lesson (15-20 minutes) 1. Introduction (whole class): a) Introduce the focus of the Lesson: Focus: Atoms, Elements, Chemical bonds and the use of models and remind students that the Question-a-Day questions they did over the last week were about chemical bonding. b) Explain the central idea is that bonding occurs when atoms join together to form a larger particle. When atoms bond, the type of bond forms depends on the type (metal or non-metal) atoms joining together. c) Go through the Vocabulary and explain the meaning of all words listed. d) Go through the Remember! points and remind students of what they need to do when answering questions. Vocabulary sub-atomic particles bonds Particles that are smaller than atoms. They are the building blocks of atoms. Forces that connect one atom to another Remember! Read the question closely. Are there any words that are unfamiliar? Identify key information. Read all the answers. Eliminate impossible or unlikely answers. 2. Suggested Activities (in colour groups, and then back together as whole class) Red (score 0 or 1) Yellow (score 2 or 3) Green (score 4 or 5) 1. Read through Sunday and Monday questions.

3. Explicit instruction in solving the QaD Thursday question (whole class): The following provides a suggested step-by-step approach to solving Thursday s question. Read the Thursday question out aloud to all students. Then use a question-answer approach to go through the problem. Before you can answer this question, you need to have read all of it. What must you understand before you can answer this question? (You need to know what the circles and squares mean/ show/signify.) That s correct and what do they mean or show? (The squares are metal atoms and the circles are non-metal atoms.) That s correct again and what does the line linking the two shapes mean or show? (It s a bond it shows that the atoms are joined together.) That s right the pictures show atoms (either metals or non-metals) joined together with a bond. Do you think this is really what atoms and bonds look like? (no) So, what are the pictures examples of? (The pictures are models of bonding.) Correct and how many different types of bonding are described in the question? (3 Ionic, covalent and metallic.) Based on the information in the question, what is the difference between these types of bond? (The types of atoms that they join together.) So, what would a model of Metallic bonding look like? (Two squares joined together.) and what would a model of ionic bonding look like? (a square and a circle joined together.) and finally, what would a model of covalent bonding look like? (Two circles joined together.) all correct and once you have that information you can see that the answer is what? (Option D.)

Covalent bonds can be modelled in following way. When the hydrogen atom bonds with another hydrogen atom you could model it like this. There are two imaportant rules here: 1. You must use all of the bonds present (so in this case, each Hyrdrogen atom uses its only bond). 2. The amount of bonds that each type of atom forms is fixed so you can just add on other bonds.
Water is a combination of oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen atoms can form two bonds like this: 2. Draw two oxygen atoms bonded together to form an oxygen molecule. 3. A molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Draw a water molecule. 4. A carbon dioxide molecule contains one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. How many bonds must the carbon atom be able to form? Explain your answer. Number of bonds: Explanation:
