COMBINING ATOMS & MOLECULES
Our classes are starting a new unit 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 Wednesday, November 14th.  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 Mrs. Kenner's room before school on Wednesday.  Projects may also be turned in after school on Tuesday.  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 Mrs. Kenner by Wednesday evening.

HOMEWORK
Tuesday (11/13): Finish atom model, key, and PowerPoint!
Wednesday (11/14): Project due today! Review ion notes
Thursday (11/15): Review bond notes
Friday (11/16): Review bond notes
