Lesson Plan

This document outlines a lesson plan to teach 9th grade students about ionic and covalent bonding. It includes three hands-on activities to reinforce the concepts. Activity 1 uses molecular models to demonstrate bond formation. Activity 2 is a role-playing game where students act out atoms bonding. Activity 3 has students create a concept map showing the relationships between atoms and bond types. Assessment questions evaluate the students' understanding of bonding principles and their ability to analyze examples. The goal is for students to recognize how atoms achieve stability through electron transfer or sharing.
