  After the videos, define the following terms in notes:  (Use text book for help)

1. electron

2. proton

3. neutron

4. nucleus

5.  atomic number

6.  atomic mass

7.  isotope

8.  ion

0.  shells

10.  valence shells

 Next, in notes, draw the following Chlorine atoms:

2.  an ion of chlorine

3.  two isotopes of Chlorine:  Cl-35 and Cl-37

If there is extra time, students can study their element flash cards (independently or with a partner).
