Elaborate (8 Min); 5. Evaluate (5 Min). Sample item: “1. How does complete valence electron transfer drive the formation of energetically stable ionic crystal lattices?”

What's inside: 5E Lesson Plans (editable .docx + PDF, about 2,493 words, 10 pages); answer key / model answers for the teacher.

Standards: HS-PS1-1 — Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. HS-PS1-3 — Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles. HS-PS2-6 — Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.

Resource type: 5E Lesson Plan. Format: editable Microsoft Word file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Follow the five phases over one to two class periods; the plan lists objectives, materials, and teacher moves for each phase. Built for high school Chemistry, grades 9–12.

Format note: These files are delivered in Microsoft Office formats (Word and/or PowerPoint). If you open a worksheet that includes tables in Apple Pages or another non-Microsoft app, table formatting may not display correctly. For best results, use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (or upload the file to Google Docs). If you run into any formatting issues, contact us and we can send a PDF version.
