- Ask students how many of the ingredients they are familiar with and which ones they may have never seen or heard of before today
- Discuss the responses
- Identify some of the elements in the ingredients
- List the positive benefits and/or negative side effects of consuming the element/chemical
Guided Practice
- Distribute 3-5 food labels to each student (If possible give at least one each for a “healthy” food product, junk food product, and a liquid food product)
- Explain the assignment to students: Using the food labels the students will research each of the ingredients using resources found on the Internet
- The students will list each of the elements for each product, as well as the chemical formulas if possible
- Direct students to research the positive benefits and/or the negative side effects of each ingredient as well
- Encourage students not to overlook common ingredients which they assume will be healthy, or unhealthy.
- Remind students to find facts about each product, not myths
- Once completed with the research direct students to prepare a presentation for the class
- Explain to students the expectations (or rubrics) for the presentation
- Assign the students time slots to present the information to the class
- On day three or later, each student will present their research to the class and respond to their peers’ questions.
- Use the assessment or rubric page to evaluate the presentations
- Continue until all students have had a chance to present the information

- Remind students to not only look at financial cost, but also the effect on the environment and other variables
- Have students use the Internet or other resources for researching the product
- Encourage students to use different terms for Goggling or for using other search engines (For example, simply typing in “aluminum can” may not be sufficient, instead use “What is the cost of making (or recycling) an aluminum can?”.)
- Once research is completed, students are to create charts, graphs, or displays for use in a presentation to the class.
- Remind students they are to refer to the rubrics or assignment sheet making sure they answered all of the questions
- Plan times for presentations
- Following each presentation, discussion may follow
Independent Practice
- For homework, ask students to do a home search to discover how many items in their home are recyclable and to make a list of them. If unsure, if it is recyclable, they will do an Internet search by simply asking: “Are old “pillows” recyclable? Or other items.
Closing
Have students come up with alternative uses for recyclable products. For example, taking old soda cans and creating a wall or other structure by joining them together, old boxes turned into furniture or shelving. Use a class period building things out of recyclables.
Assessment & Evaluation
Assess the presentations based on pre-determined rubrics
Modification & Differentiation
Students may work alone/larger group. Same product for entire class. Half the class gets one product, other half a second product. Do not give the product. Have students choose which product to use. Reports instead of class presentations or Power Point displays. Fieldtrip to a recycling center and/or a manufacturer of products. Assign one-half of the class to identify costs of manufacturing, other half researches the cost of recycling.

Introduction: | History of the periodic table and atomic theory. |
Development: | Students create a Example: Newlands, used his knowledge of music to find a pattern in the early elements … he called the pattern “an octave.” No one took him seriously at first. He needed to persevere despite criticism, he showed respect to others, showed patience in his chemical experiments as he tested his theory; he was ethical and showed integrity not to doctor the work to his benefit. There were many things he could not explain; yet, he knew he had something. |
Practice: | As we discuss additional scientist, the class is expected to contributed character traits that would be applicable. |
Accommodations: | none |
Checking For Understanding: | During review, stopping and asking students to remind me of scientist’s contribution to science and the character traits he possessed. |
