Copy down the size of an atom and nucleus intho their books Copy key words need to be able to define ion and isoptope for level 4 Explain that atoms can lose or gain electrons. And what happens if they do. Students make notes on this, then go through a few examples. Students practice working out electron/proton/neutron for ions Extension task for students who finish Explain what an isotope is, do one worked example of finding proton/neutron numbers then their go at finding how many protons and neutrons are in carbon isotopes Exam practice if time Plenary Identify whether the pictures are atoms, ions or isotopes

Aimed at a mixed ability year 9 class Starter Activity Draw and label the atom – discuss that its changed over time Main – Watch video of history of the atom – try and list the scientists and their discoveries Use textbooks or ipads to research the history of the atom and fill in the timeline.
