Apologia Chemistry: Naming Ionic Compounds

 My Chemistry Co-op class just started naming ions in class using Flinn’s Putting the Ions in Their Hands.  I’m using ions, photos, and Jamboard in my Ionic Compounds Slideshow.  I made up several ionic compounds with the ions which are NOT part of the data sheet the kids complete.  After class, I added several more examples.  Thursday we’re going to practice naming and writing formulas; consequently, some of the ions do not have captions.  I made a point to have Cu+ and Cu+2, Fe+2 and Fe+3 to represent ions with the Stock System.  I added confusing ions, such as sulfide and sulfate.  Hope this helps.
