CLASS WORK: 10/1/2015

Background:
In the chemistry unit, the biiiiiig essential question we are investigating is: "How do chemical processes underlie biological processes?"

To answer that question, you've got to start small. Extremely small...atomically small! So far in the chemistry unit, we've gone into depth studying atoms. Before we move in to the next topic in chemistry, let's review the topics we've covered to make sure that you are comfortable with them, and to ensure that you understand what you are expected to know.

Content Knowledge Objectives (the big picture stuff you need to know):
1. What is the general structure of an atom? 
2. How are the properties of elements in the Periodic Table related to their atomic structures? 
3.  How do atoms combine to form new substances (what are ionic and covalent bonds)?

Class assignment: 
In the comments section of this post, post your answers to the three questions above. IF YOU WERE UNABLE TO LOGIN WITH YOUR NEW SCHOOL EMAIL ADDRESS, then you may use your Chromebook number as your "name" (just as you did yesterday). You may use your notes, class handouts, and the links on this blog. Answers should be detailed (3-5 sentences per question). Your post should not be plagiarized from your classmates' posts.

When you are done, click on the the PAGE (to the right) for the Group Project: Macromolecules
