Lesson: Electrons and Energy Levels Science • First Year of Preparatory School

Students will be able to

• explain what energy levels in an atom are,
• identify the energy level by its number and letter symbol,
• describe electrons and how they move around the nucleus in energy levels,
• describe how electrons can transfer between energy levels,
• state how many electrons can be found in each energy level,
• recall that quantum is the amount of energy needed from an electron to transfer between energy levels,
• define the terms excited and ground state.
