Activity 2

Title: Focus on Language - Properties of Water

Instructions:

Part 1: Write your own definitions for each one of the words, specifically as they relate to the properties of water. For each definition that you write, use at least 1 of the phrases from the list below.

Part 2: Watch the videos on the PowerPoint. Afterwards, look back at the definitions that you wrote. Use at least 1 more word or phrase from the list provided to add on to your definition. For example, you can provide a real-life example of this property of water like the one that you saw in the video and any additional information that you want to talk about.

Task 2: Answer the questions after watching the video (click on the underlined word).

Task 3: Click on the underlined word for this activity.

1.Use this simulation to build the atoms in the table. Drag the electrons and protons from the 3 buckets into the orbital structure. Use the periodic table in the link to determine the number of electron, protons and neutrons. Make sure the atoms are Neutral and Stable.

2.Complete the table below as you use the simulation.

Note: Atomic number = # of protons ; Atomic Mass = # of protons + # of neutrons

Task 4: After watching this video, distinguish between an Ionic bond and a covalent bond by providing their unique characteristics. Then provide an example of each.

Task 5: Move the words from the word bank to fill in the blanks, using information from slides 2 through 6.
