Anticipatory Set (5 min.)
- Bell-Ringer: Watch Paula Abdul music video “Opposites Attract” Bell-Ringer will act mostly as entertainment. Paula

- PowerPoint (3 parts): [charges] attracting to each other.
- Say: “Today we will be learning about ions, ionic bonds, and ionic
compounds.”
Formative: Lecture will consist of a lot of dialogue and 1. Ions Lecture will provide direct instruction and will ensure

Explain: To create a full valence (outermost) electron shell.
Atoms strive to be “noble”. Generally speaking, this means 8

opportunity to informally assess the student’s opportunity to share what they have experienced and
understanding of ionic bonds. - Ask: “What elemental names did you come up with, and what was learned.

- Discuss: What compounds did you form? Who made the largest
