Lesson Plan for the Week of November 18, 2013

Monday:  Student groups will finish presentations over "The Five Most Important Elements."
Introduction to reading chemical formulas: Students will be introduced to coefficients and subscripts in order to determine the number of atoms of each element in a chemical formula.  Students will read an introduction to chemical formulas on MBC, then view a short tutorial.  Students will then complete the worksheet "Writing and Reading Chemical Formulas" on MBC.  

Tuesday:  We will review how to determine the number of valence electrons using an element's location on the periodic table. Students will read Chapter 4, Section 1, p. 121.  Students will complete the worksheet "Writing Electron Dot Diagrams" and create electron dot diagrams for four elements.

Wednesday:  Students will read Chapter 4, Section 3, pp. 134-136.     Students will use electron dot diagrams to show how ionic bonds from between positive and negative ions. (This will complete the worksheet they began yesterday.)

Thursday:   Students will complete the worksheet "Determining oxidation numbers".    Students will then read Chapter 4, Section 2, pp. 126-130. Students will go to MBC to match formulas to chemical names.  

Friday:  Lab:  Students will continue to lab "What's the Matter with Bubbles." (Students must have all work completed in order to participate in labs.)
