Badge Day

Goal:
Earn the Planning 2 badge.

Agenda:
Warmup
How would you teach a freshman?
How do you write a reflection?
Badge Work

Warmup
Create a new journal entry entitled Self-Score. Use the rubric in the sidebar to score your journal. Also consider the worksheets you did for the bonding unit in your self-score. 

How would you teach a freshman?
Grab a whiteboard. Imagine you had to teach a freshman how to design an experiment. You should be an expert by now. What would you tell them? Write it on your whiteboard. 

How do you write a reflection?
What is the purpose of the badge portfolio? What writing should you include to enhance the artifacts you upload?

Badge Work
Complete the planning 2 badge.
  1. Upload your experiment design plan for your "Process" artifact and write a reflection.
  2. Upload your completed lab report as the "Product" artifact and write a reflection. 
  3. In the "Metacognitive Reflection," explain how being able to use the experiment design plan and plan experiments makes you a better scientist. 
  4. Request feedback.

Comp. 6 Prep

Goal:
Prepare for Monday's test.

Agenda:
Warmup
Study!

Warmup
Create a new journal entry entitled Bonding Self-Assessment. Copy the 7 objectives into your journal and rate your understanding for each objective.
+   if you get it
-    if you sort of get it
0   if you don't get it'
Highlight the objectives you need to work on the most today.

  1. Contrast ionic and covalent compounds in terms of name, metallic character of atoms, bond type, structure, behavior in water, and examples. 
  2. Use electronegativity to predict whether atoms will form ionic bonds or covalent (polar and non-polar) bonds.
  3. Compare and contrast salts and molecules based on observable properties and bond types. 
  4. Draw structural formulas using the HONC 1234 rule.
  5. Predict the ion and/or the number of bonds an atom will form based on its location in the periodic table.
  6. Draw Lewis Structures for a given molecule.
  7. Draw and name the 3D shape of a given molecule using VSEPR. 

Study!
