Honors/Gifted Chemistry

Monday

Standard(s): SC2d. Develop and use models to evaluate bonding configurations from nonpolar covalent to ionic bonding. (Clarification statement: VSEPR theory is not addressed in this element.)

LT: We are learning how to evaluate the type of bond found in a substance.

SC: 

• I can use valence electron configuration to determine bonding configuration.

• I can use the octet rule to determine bonding between elements.  

• I can define and differentiate between covalent and ionic bonds.

• I can differentiate between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds.

Lesson/Activity:

• 2nd block: Practice worksheet and notes on Covalent Compounds.

• C.S.I. episode: “Boom”(45 minutes) - deals with chemical reactions, elements and compounds, structures, scientific method, and properties (chemical and physical). Stamp the notes after the episode concludes. 

• 4th block: Finish up notes on Ionic Compounds from last week; practice worksheet.

• HW: Flocabulary #9: “Atomic Bonds” due tonight by 11:59 p.m.

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

• Promethean Board and worksheets

• DVD

Tuesday

(Take up the first four notebooks in 2nd block only! Larger class and 4th block needed one more day to catch up due to hurricane days, SSAs, and Pep Rally.)

Standard(s): SC2d. Develop and use models to evaluate bonding configurations from nonpolar covalent to ionic bonding. (Clarification statement: VSEPR theory is not addressed in this element.)

LT: We are learning how to evaluate the type of bond found in a substance.

SC: 

• I can use valence electron configuration to determine bonding configuration.

• I can use the octet rule to determine bonding between elements.  

• I can define and differentiate between covalent and ionic bonds.

• I can differentiate between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds.

Lesson/Activity:

• 2nd block: PSAT (most students will be gone) - make-up work time and notebook assistance for those in the classroom; 

• 4th block: Notes on Covalent Compounds and how to write them.

• C.S.I. episode: “Boom” (30 minutes) - deals with chemical reactions, elements and compounds, structures, scientific method, and properties (chemical and physical). Stamp the notes after the episode concludes. 

• HW: Google Classroom video and formative assessment activity - complete by Thursday. Work on notebooks and Flocabulary assignments. 

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

• Promethean Board and PowerPoint (Bonds and Compounds) 

• DVD
