Today, students finished reading the section in the book about covalent bonding and metallic bonding. They also completed a guided reading handout as they read. We have gone over them in class with all but my 4th period, so they should be complete and can be attached to page 107 in their notebooks.
On page 106, should be the essential question: How are covalent bonds formed? Describe the properties of metals and how metallic bonds form. They should also do a Venn diagram that compares ionic bonding and covalent bonding. Items that are characteristic of covalent bonds should go in the green circle. Items that are characteristic of ionic bonding should go in the black circle. (Their diagrams do not have to be color coded) Items that are characteristic of both should be written where the two circles overlap. This can be done on a separate piece of paper then attached to p. 106 or it can be drawn directly into the notebook.
As the title of this entry indicates, we will be having a test on bonding next week. Most likely on Wednesday, but I am still working out the details of next week. This test will cover notebook p. 100-103, 106 and 107. I passed out a "vocabulary activity" today to help them begin to review. I am not requiring this as homework, it is a study guide of the important terms we have encountered this Chapter. I will have the answers posted on my bulletin board on Monday. Also, it is Chapter 9 if you would like your student to review the book on-line.
Have a great weekend!
