Apologia Chemistry: Module 3 Nomenclature Covalent Molecules

Tomorrow, the kids are learning how to name covalent molecules.  I have two covalent nomenclature worksheets here and here. (Answers for the second worksheet are here.). The kids are reading an article, The Cool Chemistry of Dry Ice and answering four of the student questions.  (Scroll down to the student questions.). I want the kids to get in the habit of reading a bit of chemistry apart from the textbook.

Tomorrow, the kids have an ionic nomenclature quiz, a brief lecture on covalent molecules with notes, and two practice worksheets.  The article is homework.  Usually, covalent molecules are much easier to learn than ionic compounds.  Next week, we have labs scheduled before we resume Polyatomic ions and acid nomenclature.  Yeah!
