Help with Bonding

Below are some links to things to read, things to look at and things to do to help you understand bonding better.
There are links to ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. Look over them and write your opinion about three of them.
DIRECTIONS: Select THREE SITES TO WRITE ABOUT. Choose sites you liked so you can write what you thought was good about the site and if it helped you. To make it easier, copy and paste the links onto a word document so you can write about specific links.

Read about ionic bonds and see some examples!

Links to Pictures and Clip Art for Chapter 5

Hello-
We are going to make collaborative books that contain all of the vocabulary for Chapter 5.
I will provide you with some links to find images or you may print and draw the images for your words.
We will be working with a model to ensure that you have:
1. Cover or Title Page including
Author names
2. Chapter Title
3. Section Headings
4. Vocabulary words in the right section.
5. Page Numbers

To Begin,
Open Microsoft Word
1. Select New or Blank Document
2. Select Page Setup
a. In the middle of the page set up window, there is a Pages section. Go there and choose 2 pages per sheet.
b. Now, go up and reduce the margins to about .5".
c. Create a gutter of about .5"
d. Click OK
3. Create a New Folder and call it your name plus 10. For example, "Josey Wales 10"
4. Save the document as "Ch. 5 Vocab plus your name"
5. Start typing your vocabulary
Be sure to add a section heading if your word is the first one in the section
