Honors/Gifted Chemistry

Monday

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 reviewing our learning about naming and writing the formulas for ionic (binary and ternary) compounds prior to Spring Break.

SC: 

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

  • I can memorize specific polyatomic cations and anions.

Lesson/Activity:

  • Reviewed how to name Ionic Compounds (before Spring Break information)

  • Set-up Lab #8 in Labs 2 section of their notebooks.

  • Take notes on “Bonds and Compounds” in Google Classroom. (Slides 9-12)

  • Start Flocabulary #10 on “Cellular Respiration.”

  • HW:  Flocabulary #10 due on Monday, April 14th by 11:59 p.m.; study Ions for Ion Quiz scheduled for Monday, April 14th in class; work on Lab #7: Online Calorimetry Lab (finish and write Error Analysis and Conclusion).

Resources: 

  • Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

  • Chromebooks, PowerPoint, Flocabulary, Google Classroom

  • ActivInspire for Lab #8
