Monday/Tuesday, 12/13 January, 2015

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How do molecules interact to form covalent bonds?

NGSSS: SC.912.P.8.6; SC.912.P.8.7

BENCHMARK(S):
-Distinguish between bonding forces holding compounds together and other attractive forces, including hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces.  
-Interpret formula representations of molecules and compounds in terms of composition and structure.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:
-distinguish between bonding forces holding compounds together and other attractive forces, including hydrogen bonding and an der Waals forces.

BELL RINGER: Read the cartoon and suggest elements for each character. Use your periodic table.


VOCABULARY: valence electron  electron dot structure, octet rule, halide ion, ionic bond, ionic compound, chemical formula, formula unit, coordination number, metallic bond, alloy

HOME LEARNING: HL 7/work on your science fair paper/project

INFORMATION PRESENTED IN CLASS:

Students completed the bell ringer and added it to their interactive notebook. Be sure you have placed the date, benchmark, essential question and page number in your table of contents. Then, set up a Cornell notes page with date, page number and essential question. Place the cartoon in the center of the Cornell notes page.

We then reviewed HL 8. 

Students then watched the BrainPop movie Chemical Bonds. You can access the movie with the user name: palm beach and password: palm beach.

We then completed a virtual covalent bonding activity, found at Covalent Bonding.

Students then began notes on covalent bonding. The entire powerpoint will be found on My Big Campus. Since we did not complete the entire chapter, I will post the completed power point on My Big Campus and the shortened movie version here when we do complete all four sections. 

Make sure all work is submitted by Wednesday.
