Grade 8s were very creative in modeling their covalent and ionic bonds Friday. We will have them on display in the classroom - no eating the M&Ms or Nerds! Students used these to model the protons, electrons, and neutrons of each bond.
Grade 8s will receive a review sheet to prepare them for the quiz on elements, compounds, mixtures, and covalent and ionic bonds. They will take the quiz on Wednesday. Then we will begin learning about the properties of elements: acids and bases, density, malleability, boiling and melting points, solubility, rigidity/flexibility, conductivity, chemical reactivity, and specific heat. We will also learn about states of matter: gases, liquid, solid, and plasma.
We are still in need of a hot plate, scale, and magnet.
