Essential question: What evidence supports quantized electron energies?
Open Monday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Atoms emit characteristic line spectra rather than every possible color.
Build an initial model and explanation for: What evidence supports quantized electron energies?
Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: energy level; photon; spectrum; electron configuration; valence electron.
Open Tuesday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Study and explain the week's core ideas: energy level; photon; spectrum; electron configuration; valence electron
Open text on electron configurations and spectra.
Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.
Open Wednesday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Convert wavelength/frequency conceptually or with provided constants in Extended pathway.
Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: What evidence supports quantized electron energies?
Open Thursday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Virtual emission-spectrum analysis.
Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.
Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.
Open Friday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Answer the essential question: What evidence supports quantized electron energies?
Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.
Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
