About this resource
Atomic Structure and Notation Lesson. This lesson package introduces Atoms, Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Furthermore, it explains Atomic Number, Mass Number, and Atomic Symbols. This package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), an auto-graded Exit Ticket to check student understanding, a Bill Nye worksheet (includes answer key), and a student lesson handout as a document.
This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.
Included in the lesson package is:
- Office and Google versions of the presentation
- The teacher version of the presentation
- The student version of the presentation
- An auto-graded Exit Ticket
- Bill Nye video worksheet
- Student worksheet
- Student lesson handout
In order, the lesson covers:
- Atoms
- Protons
- Neutrons
- Electrons
- Atomic Number
- Mass Number
- Atomic Symbols
- Calculation
The student version of the PowerPoint contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
Also, please visit my blog Teach With Fergy for my thoughts on teaching, learning and everything in between.
