Learning Plan in Science 9

Prepared by: Ms. Veronica P. Capote

Matter
Second Quarter/Second Grading Period
Topic:
 Ionic Bond
 Covalent Bond
Content Standard:
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
 How atoms form bonds with other atoms by transferring or sharing electrons.
Key Understandings:
1. The need to attain stability enables ions to bond and form ionic compounds by gaining or
losing electrons.
2. Stability of two nonmetals is achieved through covalent bonding, which enables them to
share electrons.
Key Question:
1. Why stability of compounds essential?
Learning Competencies:
The learners should be able to:
1. Explain the formation of ionic and covalent bonds.
2. Explain how ions are formed.
3. Recognize different types of compounds (ionic or covalent) based on their
properties such as melting point, hardness, polarity, and electrical and thermal
conductivity.
Lesson Focus: Ionic Compounds (naming and formation)
Time Frame: 1 – 3 days (September 21 – 23, 2015)

Time Frame: 1 – 2 days (September 23 – 25, 2015)

Day 4
1. Anticipation Guide
Have the students’ answer Column A of the guide below by writing agree or disagree.
Before the Lesson CONCEPT After the Lesson
Covalent bond transfer
electrons through gaining or
losing them.
Covalent bonding happens
to two nonmetals.
Molecular geometry gives
the general shape of the
molecules/
NaCl is an example of
covalent bond.
Covalent and ionic bonds
are similar in melting point,
hardness, and electrical
conductivity.
