Monday/Tuesday, 24/25 October, 2011

Students will be able to:
use the information from virtual activities, the textbook and classroom discussions to
-construct models of atoms showing the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for each element
-for each element, arrange electrons in energy levels around the atomic
-predict and determine whether or not elements will form chemical bonds in order to become more stable.

Students are taking the science Fall Interim assessment, so therefore, classes are changed, with alternating periods seen each of the two days of the exam.

Students worked on the virtual lab from the Glencoe website to determine how elements form chemical bonds. Students were not actually able to complete the online activity, as the site was malfunctioning, but did complete the activity using a periodic table.

Students should continue to work on their science fair projects as home learning.
