Standard: Show Content Tip
1d Students know that each element is made of one kind of atom and that the elements are organized in the periodic table by their chemical properties.
Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
Pages C34-C38 provide in-depth coverage of this standard.
See the CONTENT TIP for this standard for additional resources on the periodic table. The periodic table is organized by atomic number, which relates to the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. If you do not want to emphasize the names of subatomic particles, you can simply say that the atomic number increases as one goes from left to right or as one moves line by line down the periodic table top to bottom, and that atomic number refers to the number of parts inside the atom.

Aspects that help student learning:
Illustrated periodic table on pages C36-C37. Pages C39-C41 gives examples of elements and how they combine to form molecules, and includes the big idea that just a few elements make up living things. Pages C42-C43 provide a historical background about elements, atoms, and the periodic table.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text provides limited experiences with elements (activity on page C32), and does not encourage students to engage with the information in the periodic table.
