COMBINING ATOMS & MOLECULES
Our classes are starting a new unit this week called Combining Atoms & Molecules.  Students will learn to identify and count elements in a compound, compare positive and negative ions, draw ionic and covalent bonds, and construct molecular models.  Several labs and class activities will be included in this unit.


ATOM MODEL PROJECT
Just a reminder - all atom model projects are due this Tuesday, November 2nd.  Atom models must include a key for that element.  All projects need to have the students' names and class already on it before it is turned in.  Students may drop off the project in Ms. TenBrock's room before school on Tuesday.  Projects may also be turned in after school on Monday.  Students who are completing the PowerPoint portion of the project may either print it out and turn it in with the project grading sheet or email it to Ms. TenBrock by Tuesday evening.  


HOMEWORK
Monday (11/01): Project due tomorrow!
Tuesday (11/02): Project due today!  Review ion notes
Wednesday (11/03): Review ionic bond notes
