Lesson 4

Covalent Network Solids

7. I can explain the properties* of covalent network solids.

Do Now - Take out your device to play Gimkit to review what we covered from Structure and Bonding at the beginning of the year.
Complete the sciPAD pre-learning. Remember, you don't need to complete all the pages, if fact, Ms Garlick is happy if you just read the theory. Do as much or as little that you need to do until you understand the material.
- - Covalent Networks (pages 92-93/94-95)
  - Three-Dimensional Covalent Network (page 95/96)
Listen to Ms Garlick's notes on covalent networks. She will also go through the 2022 Exam Question 3a&b to show you how this question will be asked. (Blank 2022 S&B Exam, 2024 S&B Marking Schedule)
Mahi Choice
- - Continue working on the sciPAD pages listed earlier (recommended if you're still struggling)
  - Extension sciPAD = Three-Dimensional Covlanet Networks - Fullerences (page 96/97
  - Summary sciPAD pages - Covalent Network Chapter Review (page 97/98), Covalent Network Substances - End of Chapter Review Questions (page 98/99)
  - No Brain Too Small Bonding and Properties Collated Questions (skip anything with covalent molecular).

Educational scientific research suggests that doing some pre-learning before the teaching helps support learning when the teacher is explaining things, so giving that a try.
Students aren't expected to complete all those SciPad pages before the notes and don't need to finish all the SciPad pages after. It's there to allow them to do some pre-learning and check their understanding. They can always finish off those pages later in the year closer to the exam as review.
