Direct TEKS: Chem.6(B)
Supplemental TEKS: IPC.7(A) · 7.1(G) · 8.1(G)
Helps students determine atomic number, mass number, and quantities of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Reinforces mathematical relationships among subatomic particles.
Curriculum connections
Direct connections address a component of a standard, not the entire expectation. Supplemental connections support instruction or extend a lesson. Summaries are paraphrased from current official TEA standards.
Middle school
7th Grade Science
Develop and use models representing phenomena, systems, processes or engineering solutions.
Develop and use an atomic model as enrichment; subatomic-particle arithmetic is not a direct grade-level content requirement.
8th Grade Science
Develop and use models representing phenomena, systems, processes or engineering solutions.
Develop and use an atomic model as enrichment; subatomic-particle arithmetic is not a direct grade-level content requirement.
High school
Chemistry
Describe atoms and ions, including subatomic particle masses, charges and locations.
Use particle models or counts alongside discussion of masses, charges and locations. Contrast fixed shells with the modern electron cloud.
Integrated Physics & Chemistry
Model basic atomic structure and relate it to bonding, reactivity and periodic-table placement.
Use particle counts alongside an atomic model and instruction on bonding and reactivity.
