    Chemistry vocab words help?
    What are some examples of each of these vocab words?

    Quantum

    Atomic orbital

    Configuration

    Ground state

    Electromagnetic radiation

    Emit/emission

    I have all the meanings of these vocab words, examples of each, and characteristics of all of them. However I'm having trouble thinking of things that are not examples of them.

    Please rephrase your question. It makes no sense. You have examples, but you want things that are not examples? Huh?

    We use a Frayer chart for our vocab words, and it has 5 components
    1. Definition of word
    2. Characteristics of word
    3. Examples of word
    4. Picture example
    5. Non-Example of vocab word

    I just need help with things that are not examples of the vocab words.

    I'm still unclear. Do you need help with everything but #3 or you need help with #5? Also, what is a non-example of a word?

    It looks like that is exactly what he needs, what it is not. See this link --

    Frayer Model

    So if his key word is CAT, non-examples could be DOG and HAMSTER.

    Thanks for the help! That sounds similar to what I taught in 4th grade with each new vocabulary word.

    Would one have to make a non-example in the same category, like mammal or mineral or plant? Or could the student say the key word is DOG and the non-example is APPLE? (This idea seems pretty weird to me. Why have a non-example?)

    I did a similar thing using synonym and antonym. Sounds like busy work, but I'm not sure how much learning takes place in a non-example.

    I like antonym much better that non-example. Maybe the author of this Frayer thing was dumbing down the lesson? ("Antonym" is SUCH a scary word!)

    And that was only 4th grade... must be that the teacher came from high school. Now, the Kinders learn about onomatopoeia :) I just can't help myself.
