Students reviewed and completed the section on "polyatomic ions" and began the discussion on covalent compounds.  Students compared covalent and ionic compounds.

Mrs. Cook Instructing...

Students watched a podcast of naming polyvalent (transition) element containing compounds.  Then, they went over how to name transition elements w/roman numerals in ionic compounds.  They also went over how to name transition elements with polyatomic ions.  After going over the nomenclature, they worked on two worksheets and the same concepts.

Mrs. Cook Instructing...

Students learned how to name ionic compounds with polyatomic ions.  They completed 2 Worksheets on polyatomic ions and how they apply to ionic formulas.

Mrs. Cook teaching...

Topic:  Polyatomic Ions and how they relate to ionic compounds.  Nomenclature and chemical formulas w/polyatomic ions were featured using a YOUTUBE video and practice.

Mrs. Cook Teaching...

Nomenclature and Chemical Formulas for Transition/Polyvalent Compounds was the major concept.

Mrs. Cook instructing...

Students learned how to write and name chemical formulas for Ionic Compounds.  After finishing notes from the PowerPoint on energy in compounds, they began working on "Naming Ionic Compounds" (50 pt) and "Writing Chemical Formulas for Ionic Compounds (50 pt).  They were allowed to finish the worksheets for homework overnight.

Mrs. Cook Instructing...

Students reviewed the concepts on nomenclature of ionic bonds and how to write ionic bonding in a brief poptest and orally. Then, they covered what a polyatomic ion is and the nomenclature of  ionic compounds with polyatomic ions. 

They also began covering the concept of covalent bonding using the notes from the Powerpoint.

Mrs. Cook teaching...

Students continued working on Chemical Bonding using Cards w/ions that were to simulate Ionic Bonding.  They received a card and were allowed to bond w/3 other students to form Ionic Bonds.  All ionic bonds were represented on a worksheet to show the chemical bonds.

Mrs. Cook, Instructor

Students learned how to write ionic formulas using the PowerPoint on "Chemical Bonding".

Mrs. Cook instructing...

Students took notes from the PowerPoint on Ionic bonding from the Chemical Bond note...
