Students were introduced to polyatomic ions via the Powerpoint. We took notes on polyatomic ions and then complete the "Naming Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions" WS.

Today, we viewed a short Youtube Video on naming and writing Ionic Formulas w/Polyvalent (Transition) Elements. Then we began work on 1 worksheet that is on Naming Polyvalent Formulas and another on writing Polyvalent formulas

We reviewed oxidation numbers/ion charge/valence electrons and began to write Ionic formulas for Main Group Elements. We then viewed a YouTube video on writing Polyvalent formulas. Then we completed the worksheet on Naming Ionic Compounds w/Polyvalent Atoms (Transition Elements).

Today we looked at a Youtube video on naming Ionic compounds and how they are related to oxidation numbers. We then completed a worksheet on naming 25 ionic compounds. Then we viewed another Youtube video on writing Ionic formulas.

6 -
Students took notes on the characteristics of ionic and covalent compounds. We reviewed the basics of chemical bonding and valence electrons.

7 -
Today, we completed a worksheet to see if we understood the relationship between periods/energy levels and valence electrons/groups. Then we went over the characteristics of ionic compounds. We ended w/the naming of ionic compounds.

2-3
Element & their Properties Seek-n-Find WS was done to review the Vocabulary from the chapter as well as completing the Chapter Review.

2-4
We took the Element and their Properties Voc. Test, reviewed the answers and the Chapter Review, then took the Element and Properties Chapter Test

2-5
Students completed the Chemical Bonding Vocabulary and Review Questions Worksheet

We completed the uses for the elements on the Groups as well as the characteristics of the groups of elements on the Periodic Table. They will be having a Vocabulary Test on the Metals/Nonmetal uses tomorrow.

We reviewed the notes on charges and how ions are formed. Then began the notes on the characteristics of Groups 1 & 2 as well as the uses of the elements in those groups.

Today, students were given a worksheet to list the objectives of "Elements and Their Properties". They were then to answer uses of the elements as well as the properties of the groups. All was due tomorrow.

Today, we completed the Elements and Properties Vocabulary. They began the Review Questions but were assigned to finish them for homework.
