chemical reaction
The learners demonstrate an understanding of the electronic distribution in an atom.
Performance Standards: The learners can illustrate the distribution of the electrons in an atom.
Learning Learning Competency
Competencies/Objectives: 1.Write the electronic configuration of atoms (STEM_GC11CB-IIa-b-56)
2.Determine the magnetic property of the atom based on its electronic structure
(STEM_GC11CB-IIa-b-57)
Presenting New Lesson Ask students what they know about the arrangement
of electrons in an atom. Elicit their prior knowledge
through a brief discussion or a concept mapping
activity on the whiteboard. Encourage them to share
any terms or ideas related to electron distribution .
ENGAGE Show a brief video or conduct a demo to visually Within and Across Curriculum
Establishing a Purpose for represent electron distribution in different atoms.
the Lesson Use a simple model or animation to demonstrate the
concept of electron orbitals.
Ask probing questions to spark curiosity, such as
"Why do electrons occupy specific energy levels?
How are these energy levels organized?
Introduce students to indigenous symbols related to Address the needs of learners from
indigenous groups
nature, elements, or celestial objects. Collaborate
with local indigenous communities or bring in a guest
speaker to share their knowledge. Discuss how these
symbols might be integrated into the representation
of electron orbitals.

Instances of the Lesson
Guide Questions:
1. What rules / principles are involved in the
arrangement of electrons in an atom.
EXPLORE Break the class into small groups and provide each Differentiated Instruction
Discussing New Concepts group with a set of model kits or diagrams The activities vary depending on the
and Practicing New Skills representing atomic orbitals. capacity of the learners.
Instruct students to explore the differences in orbital
energies in a hydrogen atom compared to a multi-
electron atom. Ask them to identify patterns or
trends.
Have students use online simulations or interactive
software to visualize electron distribution in different
atoms.
Storyboard Creation
In small groups, students will create a large
storyboard or poster representing the electron
configuration of a chosen element. Encourage them
to use indigenous symbols to represent electrons,
orbitals, and energy levels. Each group will research
and incorporate symbols that hold cultural
significance.
ELABORATE
Finding Practical Provide practice problems for students to write
Applications of Concepts electron configurations for different atoms, both
and Skills in Daily Living using the conventional method and the core noble
gas configuration.
Use a virtual lab or simulation where students can
manipulate electrons in different orbitals to reinforce
their understanding.
Conduct a hands-on activity where students create
models or diagrams of electron configurations using
craft materials.
