subatomic particles and draw the atomic structure for the first twenty elements on the
periodic table given by teacher.
4. Students will discuss how the periodic table they arranged look.
5. Teacher and students will discuss the concepts of group and period and the role electronic
configuration plays in assigning groups and period.
6. Students will explain why elements in Group VIII are classified as stable.
7. Students will illustrate how elements in Group I VII form ions to become stable.
8. Students and teacher will discuss the terms ions, cations and anions based on Step 7.
9. Student will illustrate ionic bonding using Na and F, Mg and O, Ca and Cl and
aAluminum and oxygen.
10. Complete CSEC past paper questions on the topic.
 Culminating Activity: students will answer the following questions:
