Unit 3, Lesson 6: Importance of the Elements
Learning Target: I can explain why the elements are so important to life on Earth
Class Activities:
1. Students came in- and picked up the Importance of the Elements handout. For their do now, they answered the questions at the top, which asks them to match the element to its use.
2. We reviewed where the elements come from (star), and why certain elements are rarer than others (they can only be created in larger stars, which have hotter temperatures. Some can only be created in an exploding star.)
3. We listened to a Radiolab podcast-- episode "The Elements". There are several stories in the episode; we only listened to the Lithium story. As they listened, students wrote down 10-15 key words in Part 1 of their worksheet. We went over the key words together afterward.
4. Some sections were able to begin the homework, which was to complete parts 2 and 3.
