WebQuest for March 23, 2012

WebQuest

Please place all answers to this WebQuest in your BEE book or on a separate sheet of paper. Your teacher will initial your paper as you complete each part of the lesson. You also need to have a periodic table close by to use as a resource. You should take notes on anything that is new information to you, or anything that you don't do well on.

OBJECTIVE:  

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to predict how two atoms will bond with one another.

WARM-UP/ENGAGEMENT:

Test your knowledge of valence electrons with this online quiz! Write your final score in your BEE Book, title it "Valence Electron Quiz" and have your teacher sign off on it.

Was that too hard? Are you confused? If you didn’t get most of them right, you’re not ready to move on.

We watched this video in class to teach us about Lewis Dot structure but, if you forward to 1 minute 13 sec. you can learn a little bit about Valence Electrons. You may want to watch the whole video again if you don’t remember it, as you’ll need it in a later activity.

ACTIVITIES:

      1)      Now that you’ve tested your knowledge of valence electrons, read up on how atoms bond with one another at this site. Write down 3 things you learned and have your teacher sign off on it.

      2)      Here are two tutorials on ionic bonding that will make you a pro
      Tutorial 1 (you can click on any of the tutorials, but, make sure you understand the one for ionic bonding)

Tutorial 2

      3)      Now, if you’re really ready for a challenge, quiz yourself here

When you’re done, write down your final score in your BEE Book, title it “Ionic bond quiz” and have your teacher sign off on it.

4) Before you go on, tell me what an oxidation number is. Write your definition in your own words in your BEE book and have your teacher sign it.

5) Now you're prepared to put it all together.  Go to this site and complete the practice problems on your own paper. When you're done with page 1, bring it to your teacher to sign off on. If you are struggling with this worksheet, go to this site and read more about ions there.  Before you go to page 2, read about Naming Ions HERE by scrolling down to the middle of that page.  Make sure you know what a cation, and what an anion is before you start page 2. Then, you can move onto page 2 and have your teacher sign off on that when done.

6) Wow, you've come so far! You are now ready to get your take home quiz from your teacher. Your quiz must be completed and brought in by Monday for full credit. Good luck!
