On Monday of last week, we began learning about valence electrons and chemical bonding. On Tuesday, we had a quiz, and students began reading about ionic bonds. I realized that students were having difficulty with a concept, so I retaught a different method of counting valence electrons and drawing a diagram of the electrons in an atom on Wednesday and did not count that part of the quiz. Also on Wednesday, students had time to complete the reading and guided reading worksheet on ionic bonds. On Thursday, we did a lab that demonstrated a chemical reaction. They put there data table on p. 104-105 of their notebooks.
This week, we have started off by going through what we read on ionic bonds, and we checked our guided reading sheets and glued them into our notebooks on p. 103. Homework that is due Tuesday are 4 questions about the lab. I put them on a half sheet of paper that we glued/taped into our notebooks on p. 104 or 105.
Just in case, I will post the questions on my school web page. Tomorrow we will be doing some reinforcement to help students further understand ions and ionic bonding. I have included a summary from the book to the top left that summarizes what we discussed in class today. Let me know if I need to make it bigger. I will also include it as a file on the web page.
