The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciplines she or he teaches and can create learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for pupils.

ü **Teachers know how to teach. **

 The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies, including the use of technology, to encourage children's development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills.

ü **Teachers are able to plan different kinds of lessons. **

 The teacher organizes and plans systematic instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, pupils, the community, and curriculum goals. ü **Teachers know how to test for student progress. **

 The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the pupil. ||
 * Stated Objective(s) |||| * Students will learn how to read and understand the Periodic Table of Elements.
 * Students will use on-line resources to obtain information on different elements that make-up the Periodic Table of Elements.
 * Students will make connections to the elements they have researched to how the element is used today.
 * Students will express their comprehension of different elements using Wall Wisher. ||
 * Procedures for Lesson |||| =1.) Students will be introduced to the Periodic Table of Elements and its creator Dmitri Mendeleev. Using the textbooks, students will read the brief history on the Periodic Table and how it is organized (atomic number, metals, non-metals, and metalloids). Students will then continue to learn more about the periodic table independently using [|www.ptable.org.] =

2.) Students will use ptable.org to research at least three different elements. The research must include:
 * 1) Full name of element
 * 2) Atomic number
 * 3) If it is a metal, nonmetal or metalloids
 * 4) What the element is used for
 * 5) When/where the element was discovered and by whom (if possible)
 * 6) State of matter (solid, liquid and gas)
 * 7) Two Interesting facts learned from the research

3.) Students will summarize and record the information they found on their selected elements in their own words using complete sentences.

4.) Following the research portion of the lesson, students will select one of their three elements and share their information with the class. Students will use [|Wall Wisher] to post at least one thing they learned throughout the presentations of elements. || // URLs: www.ptables.org and www.wallwisher.com will be used to complete the required assignments. // || =// Students will use their science textbooks to learn the basic background about the periodic table of elements and Dmitri Mendeleev //// . //= ||
 * Assessment or Evaluation |||| * Students will be formally assessed by the completion of their recorded information on the selected elements based on the given requirements using a rubric.
 * Students will be informally assessed on their presentations of elements to the class.
 * The students' comprehension of the information presented on the elements will be assessed on their posting on Wall Wisher. ||
 * **__ Technology Resources __** |||| // Computers- Students will use I-pads and individual laptops to complete this assignment. ( 3 I-pads and 14 laptops) //
