1. Atoms / Elements / Chemical Equation/ Molecules Pamphlet
8th Grade
Tennyson Middle School
Coach Pease

2. Objective / Product
We will generate a pamphlet to compare and contrast atoms, molecules, elements and chemical formulas.
I will write information that shows similarities and differences between an atom, molecule, element and chemical formula.

3. Procedures 1. collect 2 half sheets of manila paper
2. fold the two sheets on top of one another
1 hamburger fold (like a card) 1 hamburger fold (top to bottom) (teacher will model)
3. Students will staple short side with creaser together (teacher will model)
4. Students will cut along long crease on top to form pages (teacher will model)

4. Cover Page
Title of Pamphlet (Atom/Element/Molecules/Chemical Equation Compare/Contrast Foldable)

5. Page 1 You will use your journal, and a text book to find answers
Students will Draw and Label a diagram of an atom
Describe what each part is and its function
Protons = positive charge

6. Students use Journal, textbooks to find information
Page 2
Students use Journal, textbooks to find information
Draw / List example of an Element
Describe what an element is (definition)
Describe how it is different from an atom

7. Page 3 Students may use journal notes and textbook for information
Describe what a molecule is and write/draw an example
Label the different parts of the example and describe the function of each part (what does it tells us about the formula)
Subscripts, coefficients, elements

8. Page 4 Students may use journal notes and textbook for information
Describe what a chemical equation is and write/draw an example
Label the different parts of the example and describe the function of each part (what does it tells us about the formula)
Subscripts, coefficients, elements, yields, reactants, products
