Ionic and Covalent Bonds

 You can log into Google Classroom to read the topics covered in class.  There is a pdf of the text posted there.  Link to Google classroom is listed on this page.

You will work individually to review material discussed in class.  You will fill in the chemical symbol, atomic number, mass number, protons, neutrons, and electrons of given elements.

Today's lecture will be focus on Ionic and Covalent bonds.

The Electonic Configuration of the Atom

The class will focus on the first 20 elements of the Periodic Table.
On Monday you too notes and in today's class you will apply the information for the notes.
Class activity:
You will be given a blank copy of the periodic table and be asked to fill in the first 20 elements using the symbols.
In addition, you will be expected to write in the atomic numbers.
After which you will write the number of electrons present and be able to write the number of neutrons present in each of the 20 elements.

Ecology Project Day 3

Image result for food webCreate an energy pyramid.
Place each organism into the correct trophic level.  List the names only. No drawing is needed.



 You will construct a Food Web by using the  animals listed. The ecosystem represents a farm area.  The corn is the main source of food for many of the herbivores in the area.   You do not have to draw pictures, you can just use the animal namedand draw arrows between them.

The species to use for this food web are: snake, corn, caterpillar, deer, crow, mouse, cougar, squirrel, micro-oganisms, (decomposers).


From the list above, identify:
1) Producers
2) Primary consumers
3) Tertiary consumers
4) herbivores
5) Carnivores
6) Omnivores
7) What elements are missing from this food web?
