This is the lab report format write up. Be sure you use it, especially to write your conclusions.

Students will be able to:
use the information from hands-on activies, the textbook and classroom discussions to
-determine that the formula for a compound indicates the elemetns that make up the compoun and the number of atoms of each element present in teh compound.
-distinguish between the atoms in a compound.

Students completed a hands-on lab about modeling compounds from atoms after completing the bell ringer. The lab handout sheet is due in class tomorrow. Be sure to complete the Data Analysis, Results, and Conclusions sections.

The data analysis should include information about which compounds are polyatomic ions. You should also write the section of the molecule that is a polyatomic ion.

For the results, for each compound containing polyatomic ions, write the number of polyatomic ions contained in the compound and the number of atoms of each element found in the compound.

Your conclusions should follow the lab format plan. I've included it at the top of this blog in case you've lost your copy.
