Direct TEKS: Chem.6(B) · Chem.6(A) · IPC.7(A)
Supplemental TEKS: IPC.7(D) · 6.1(G) · 7.1(G) · 8.1(G)
Helps students visualize atomic structure by representing protons, neutrons, and electrons. Supports understanding of how subatomic particles are organized and how electron arrangements relate to the periodic table.
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
6th 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.
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.
Model the historical development of atomic theory.
Represent the Bohr stage and compare its limitations with other historical atomic models.
Integrated Physics & Chemistry
Model basic atomic structure and relate it to bonding, reactivity and periodic-table placement.
Model the atomic-structure component; bonding and reactivity need additional instruction.
Explain higher-to-lower electron transitions and emission of photons at different frequencies.
Use shells to discuss energy transitions with additional instruction on emitted photon frequencies.
