Atoms / Elements / Chemical Equation/ Molecules Pamphlet

8th GradeTennyson Middle School

2013-2014Coach Pease

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.

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)

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

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

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

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
