Wednesday

Standard(s): SC2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the chemical and physical properties of matter resulting from the ability of atoms to form bonds. 

e. Ask questions about chemical names to identify patterns in IUPAC nomenclature in order to predict chemical names for ionic (binary and ternary), acidic, and inorganic covalent compounds. 

f. Develop and use bonding models to predict chemical formulas including ionic (binary and ternary), acidic, and inorganic covalent compounds.

LT: We are learning about naming and writing the formulas for ionic (binary and ternary) compounds.

SC: 

• I can name ionic compounds and write ionic compound formulas.

• I can memorize specific polyatomic cations and anions.

Lesson/Activity:

• Absent students - take the test missed yesterday. 

• Notes on “Bonds and Compounds” in Google Classroom. (Slides 1-7)

• Finish coloring the Mole Day ion picture. (Get a blue stamp and glue the completed worksheet into your notebook.)

• Highlight ions for quiz after you return from Spring Break. (Strongly suggest you make note cards!!)

• Take up the last set of notebooks to grade.

• HW:  Notebook work for those who still have not turned in their notebooks to be checked for organization, submission, and lab completion.

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston\

• Promethean Board, Chromebooks, and Google Classroom.

• Notebook (Notes #2), worksheets, colored pencils, and highlighters.

• I can memorize specific polyatomic cations and anions.

Lesson/Activity:

• Go over the notes from yesterday.

• Glue in the data table worksheet beside notes (looks like a Punnett Square).

• Use puzzle pieces and fill in a chart with ionic compounds by cancelling out opposite charges. (Work in groups!)

• HW:  Notebook work for those who still have not turned in their notebooks to be checked for organization, submission, and lab completion.

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

• Promethean Board, worksheets, data table for building the ionic compounds.

• Notebook (Notes Section #2)

Friday

Overarching/Universal Science Standard(s): The first part of the science practice involves evaluating information as students analyze and interpret data; in addition, since they are providing evidence, this practice also requires students to communicate their findings and analysis. 

LT: In honor of Women’s History Month, we are learning about various women in S.T.E.M., who did specific things to advance science.

SC: 

• I can work in a group to complete an “Escape Room” Activity with BreakOutEDU.

• I can learn about five different women who played a pivotal role in S.T.E.M. fields of study.

• I can collaborate with others to analyze provided data to reach a necessary conclusion.

• I can use the scientific method throughout the activity.

Lesson/Activity:

• Women in S.T.E.M. (BreakOutEDU) Activity.

• Extra Credit worksheet for those who attend class!

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

• BreakOutEDU lockboxes with keys, parking lots, and folders with information to help solve the mystery.

• Worksheets and notebook.
