What educators are saying

The students loved the way it was set up. Easy to use and kept the students engaged. Will use again
My students love the Keesler science materials. My district blocks all use of non-teacher/district made google docs, so I had to play with the ppt portion to use it in their google classrooms, but worth the extra time.

Engagement

  • Objectives and Word Wall Cards with English and Spanish vocabulary
  • Teacher file with engaging ideas for class discussion and a class activity - many lessons with a student activity and/or common topic misconceptions

Exploration

The student-led station lab is differentiated for all learners and learning styles. With nine stations, you can introduce atoms to your middle school students in a variety of ways! 

Input Stations offer students multimodal ways to absorb lesson learning.

  • Explore It! - Hands-on demo or experiment connects students with information through engagement.
  • Read It! - Students read a short passage and answer comprehension questions. Choose from differentiated reading passages in English and Spanish.
  • Research It! - Students visit a website, perform tasks, and answer related questions.
  • Watch It! - Students learn through a short video and discussion on their lab sheet.

Output Stations provide ways for your junior high students to show what they know about atoms.

  • Organize It! - Students use printable hands-on card sorts or manipulate digital images to foster categorization skills.
  • Write It! - Students respond to open-ended questions and communicate in complete sentences.
  • Illustrate It! - Students sketch or draw concepts; visual activity can increase recall and retention of new information.
  • Assess It! - Students answer more formal questions to demonstrate mastery and vocabulary in context.

Bonus Station!

  • Challenge It! This station offers fun extension activities for your early finishers to push their learning even further. This also provides the class with another reinforcement option. 

Explanation

  • Editable PowerPoints in standard and interactive versions with differentiation
  • NEW! Interactive notebook templates in multiple formats, including digital INB files and print files in Spanish and English
  • Note-taking templates to help students follow along with presentations

Elaboration

  • Student-choice projects on atoms to extend the learning in-class or at home

Evaluation

  • Assessment questions updated for STAAR 2.0 (Texas end-of-year testing) and available in dependent and modified versions
  • Review questions and a worksheet for class discussion, test practice, or homework

Can This Resource Be Used for Virtual Learning?

Absolutely! The station lab from the Exploration section and the PPT/INBs from the Explanation section have been created so that students can use them on campus or in a virtual learning environment.

Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. Emphasis is on developing models of molecules that vary in complexity. Examples of simple molecules could include ammonia and methanol. Examples of extended structures could include sodium chloride or diamonds. Examples of molecular-level models could include drawings, 3D ball and stick structures, or computer representations showing different molecules with different types of atoms. Assessment does not include valence electrons and bonding energy, discussing the ionic nature of subunits of complex structures, or a complete depiction of all individual atoms in a complex molecule or extended structure.
