I. PREPARATORY ACTIVITY

a. Setting of Mood

 Prayer

Good morning class! It is nice to see you all Good morning, Sir!
again today.

Before we formally start our class let us all

pray and put ourselves in the presence of
the Lord.

Please arrange your chairs and pick up the

pieces of paper under.

A. ENGAGE/RECALL

Yesterday, we already discussed the metals,

nonmetals, and metalloids. Am I right?

Can anyone tell me some of the properties of

Metals? (Students raises their hands.)

Yes? (Name of the student.)

The metals are malleable, luster, ductile, and
conductive.
Very good.

How about in nonmetals? Can anyone share

some properties? (Students raises their hands.)

Yes? (Name of the student.)

The nonmetals are brittle if solid, it can be in
gaseous, liquid, or solid state. It is not malleable,
ductile, and poor in conductivity.
Good Job.

Who wants to share some of the properties for

metalloids? (Students raises their hands.)

Yes? (Name of the student.)

Metalloids can have the properties of both metals
and nonmetal elements. They are
semiconductive elements.
Excellent job everyone. It seems you can still
remember our discussion yesterday.

Today, we will be discussing on the different

groups or families in the periodic table of
elements and how they were arranged.

2
Are you ready? Yes sir.

If you are ready, let’s do the “give me 5”. If I

say, “Give me 5”, you will raise your hand
like a high 5 and you will have to repeat after
me doing a countdown. Did you understand? Yes sir.

Okay, grade-8 samson, give me 5!

5, 4, 3, 2 (Voices slowly gets low)
Shhhhhhhhhhh. (Instead of saying 1, you put (Student repeats after the teacher)
your last finger to your mouth and say shhh.)

Very good. Now we are ready for today’s

class.

B. EXPLORE

Before we go to our discussion today, let us

have a short activity. The title for the activity
is “prepare for blast off”. Today, we are
scientist assigned to bring a rocket ship
towards the moon. For us to do that, we must (Students listen to the instruction)
fill up the rocket with corresponding
elements. I have here a table that needs to be
answered.

Each answers represents the vital components

needed for the rocket to work. What you are
going to do is to fill in the answers on the
blank table by basing on the periodic table
presented in front. But first, we have to do a
personal checking. I will ask the class to
prepare a ½ sheet of paper and a pen. You

3
will have to answer the blanks first in your
paper, and I will call somebody later to go in
front and write their answer on the given
blank. Today, I will be your captain for this Yes captain.
mission. Am I understood young scientist?

Are you ready to make history as young Yes captain.

scientist who brought a rocket ship towards
the moon?

Remember, this is an urgent mission, so we

have to be conscious for the time.

Okay, Please prepare now your ½ sheet of (Students prepares their paper and pen)
paper and start answering on your own. Later,
as your captain, I will call somebody to go
here in front and share their answer.

Timer starts now. Good luck and may the

mission be successful.

Time is up. It is now time to fill up the tank of

our rocket.
(Students raises their hands)
Who would like to share their answer to the
captain?

(Students are answering the table on the

board)

Good job everyone! We have now able to fill
the tank of our rocket. Congratulations
everyone. Let’s do the blast off clap!
(Students do the clap)
1,2… 1,2,3…. Blast off!

C. EXPLAIN

Okay, let us now look at table we answered.

We successfully identified the group number,
period number, and the group name of each of
the element. Today, we will look at how does
our elements arranged into groups and periods
and what are some properties of the groups.
Take note, we will only focus on the
representative elements or the main groups of
the periodic table.

Before we proceed to our discussion, let us

unlock some terms. Everyone, look at the
board.

Our first word to remember is the Valence

Electron.

Valence electron - Valence electrons are the

electrons located at the outermost shell of an
atom.

Next word is the Electron shell.

Electron shell – regions or orbitals

surrounding the atomic nucleus containing a
specific number of electrons.

Now that we unlock these words. Let’s now

discuss the groups of the periodic table of
elements.

What is the group 1 in the periodic table of Alkali metals sir.

elements?

Very good.

5
Alkali metals are found in group 1. They
have the physical properties of metal such as
malleable and ductile, however they are soft
metals. They are grouped in group 1 since the
elements under here has only 1 valence
electron.

Additional Information:
They are called alkali metals because when
these metals react, they dissolved in water, a
basic (alkaline) solution result.

Example: Lithium

Did you understand?

Alkaline Earth Metals sir.
Let’s now move to group 2, which is what?

Very good.

Alkaline Earth Metals

They are malleable, ductile, and good

conductors of heat and electricity but not as
soft as Group 1 elements. They are grouped in
group 2 since the elements under here has
only 2 valence electrons.

Additional Information:
The elements of group - 2 are called alkaline
earth metals because their oxides and
hydroxides are alkaline in nature and these
metal oxides are found in the earth's crust.

Example: Beryllium

6
Next, we have the Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen,
And Oxygen groups. Which are group 13 –
16.

These 4 groups are grouped according to the

number of valence electron. Group 13 has 3
valence electron, group 14 has 4, group 15
has 5, and group 16 has 6 valence electron.

Examples are the first elements in their

groups.

Did you understand? Halogens

We will now move forward to group 17

which is what?

Very good. 7 electrons sir.

Since oxygen group or group 16 has 6 valence

electrons, then what do you think is the
valence electron of halogens?

That is right. Great job.

Halogens are salt former. Since all halogens

have 7 electrons in their valence shell, they
react rapidly with metals to form salts. Thus,
the seventh group of elements is known as
Halogens. One example of the formation of
salt is the salts in our home which is NaCl.

Example of a halogen:

Let’s now go to the last group that we will Noble gases.
discuss today. Which is the group 18 or also
called what?

Very good.

Noble gases are stable gases. They are non-

reactive or inert elements because their last
electron shell is complete. There they have
eight valence electrons except Helium.
Example: Neon

Do you have any questions class?

If our groups are based on the valence

electron, then how about our periods? Do you Electron shells.
have a wild guess?

Thank you so much.

Elements are arranged in rows based on their

electron shells.

For example, is our first group. They are

arranged in group based on their valence
electron.

Do you think the elements on the first group

No sir.

8
are arrange randomly?

Very good.

Each of the elements are arranged in rows or

from top to bottom based on the number of
electron shells.

Lithium has 2 electron shells while sodium

has 3 electron shells. Since Francium is in
period 7 then its electron shells are 7.
Yes sir.
Did you understand?

The same principle applies to other groups.

No sir.
Do you have any questions?

Since there are no any questions, I will be the

one to ask.
They are arranged in groups according to the
How does our elements arrange in groups? number of valence electron.

They are arranged in periods based on the

How does our elements arrange in periods? number of electron shells.

Well done everyone.

Okay, since we are now done discussing the

representative elements of periodic table and
how it was arranged in the periodic table.
Tomorrow we will continue discussing the
last two groups of the periodic table and we
will also discuss the reactivity of the metals.
Then we will proceed to our final activity.

Thank you so much for participating today.

Goodbye and thank you for the teaching today,
Goodbye class. sir.
