Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tools (BBPT)

Lesson Idea Name: Name that Compound !

Content Area: Chemistry
Grade Level(s): 10-12

Content Standard Addressed: SC2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the chemical and
physical properties of matter resulting from the ability of atoms to form bonds.
a. Ask questions about chemical names to identify patterns in IUPAC nomenclature in order to predict
chemical names for ionic (binary and ternary), acidic, and inorganic covalent compounds.

Technology Standard Addressed: Knowledge Constructor- Students critically curate a variety of resources
using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning
experiences for themselves and others.
3a. Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other
resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits.
3b. Students evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media,
data or other resources.
3c. Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to
create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.

Lesson idea implementation:

This project will be introduced by a warm up will students will discuss the difference between an element a
ionic compound and a covalent compound. Then students will first take guided notes on the rules for naming
compounds. After the guided note student will be placed in groups of 3-4 students to discuss and write the
rules for naming compounds. The students will be assigned to create a Naming Tree (concept map) to explain
the different rules about naming compounds (ionic, covalent and acids). A sample idea will be projected as a
rubric to indicate all the necessary information that the naming tree needs to include. Students will physically
write out the concept map idea on poster paper, they will be allowed to use their notes, chemistry books, and
the internet to gain more information about the naming rules. After the teacher approves concept map,
students will log on to the computers and input the information on the website Bubbl.us. Students will then
present their concept map to the class via interactive white board. Students will be graded off neatness,
accurate information (naming rules), and examples of each rule. Each concept map will be printed and
laminate for the students to use as a tool to study for their upcoming quiz on naming compounds! This lesson
will differentiate the lessons to accommodate the different learning styles and allow students to participate in
cooperative learning and promote critical thinking skills
