HEADING Daniel A. Chapman 10th Grade Biology Modeling Covalent and Ionic Bonds
OVERVIEW/ RATIONALE

$his lesson% included in our &Chemistry of 'ife( unit% see)s to reinforce the students* )no+ledge and application of co,alent and ionic bonding bet+een atoms. $his )no+ledge see)s to build a foundational understanding of the importance and expansi,e presence of Chemistry +ithin all aspects of life. ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS -tudents +ill understand the basics of chemical bonding .co,alent% ionic% and the importance of ,alence electrons/% and that all life is dependent on the chemical bonding of atoms.
GOALS/OBJECTIVES

-tudents +ill be able to explain the differences bet+een co,alent and ionic bonds% explain +hy and ho+ these bonds form bet+een atoms% and be able to demonstrate and ,isuali0e se,eral different biologically important molecules.

PROCEDURES OPENER !" m#n$tes =. = +ill begin this lesson +ith a &Do!>o+( assignment on the board for the students to complete. $his assignment +ill re<uire the students to recall the differences bet+een co,alent and ionic molecules% +ith the intention of preparing the students for further engagement +ith the material. $his +ill also allo+ for us to assess the retention of our students from $hursday and ?ridays* lessons. !Do >o+ @uestion9 BOD% O& LESSON '( m#n$tes =. = +ill disperse the handout for this lesson% go o,er the instructions% encourage them to +or) in lab des) pairs% and assess the students* le,el of preparedness.

CLOSURE !" m#n$tes

ACCOMODATIONS =. $his lesson plan and our classroom arrangement gi,es a lot of room for one on one support from the teacher.s/ and the students* peers. =n addition% our handout is designed such that the more accessible problems are at the beginning% and they get more difficult as the assignment goes on% such that the +or) builds on itself. ==. Ae are +or)ing +ith molecular model )its in this classroom% so that the students +ill be able to engage in this material .+hich is often difficult to grasp because of a lac) of real reference and rele,ance/ ,isually and )inesthetically. ===. =f students finish the handout early% = +ill assign them further problems or encourage them to help their peers +ho are struggling .$his +ill be promoted by additional particpation points/.
ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION -tudent assessment +ill be e,aluated throughout the entire class period9 =. -tudent*s prior )no+ledge to the material at the beginning of the period by!+ay of the &Do >o+( ==. -tudent*s )no+ledge +ill be assessed during the body of the lesson% in +hich they +ill be +or)ing +ith pairs and the teacher +ill be facilitating and helping students +or) through the assignment. ===. -tudent*s +ill be e,aluated upon turning in their assignment for grading based on completion and correctness. =B. -tudents +ill be assessed on the ne+ )no+ledge and retention +ith the chapter <ui0 and subse<uent exam.
