Sept 1-4

Introduction: Carbon and its compounds

By the end of the class, students will be able to: Define the terms tetravalence, and catenation and list the physical properties of carbon. State why is Carbon a special element. Define the term allotropy. List main allotropes of carbon and distinguish between the properties of allotropes. Predict what happens when carbon reacts with common elements. Write the reactions involved to identify various compounds formed in the reactions. Investigate the carbon

Correct response to 90 percent of the multiple choice questions and fill in the blanks shows that students can define terms- catenation, tetra-valency and identify basic physical properties of carbon. Identification of three properties of any two allotropes of carbon and writing how both of them are different in DF (Discussion Forum) demonstrates that students are able to understand properties of allotropes . Learners achieve 70 percent success in fill the blanks assignment shows they write the reactions involved when carbon reacts with other elements. Identifying 3 things where carbon compounds exist in surroundings and posting response in in DF demonstrates that students are able to locate carbon compounds . 75 percent success in Quiz questions shows hydrocarbons and its types have been learnt.

compounds those exist in living things and nature. Define hydrocarbons. Demonstrate an understanding of how carbon atoms bond to one another as simple hydrocarbons. Identify three types of hydrocarbons. 2. Sep 5-8 Nomenclature and structure of Hydrocarbons. The student will be able to: Identify the types of hydrocarbons. Brief Online power point presentation and a video. Discussion Forum Activity on writing the formulae. Presentation of type of bonds, basic structure, suffixes and prefixes used in various kinds of hydrocarbons in form of a mind map shows achievement of objective. Write at least 80 percent of correct the formulae for the assignment questions and post in DF.

1. Write structural, molecular and line formula for the hydrocarbons. Sept9 -12 Functional groups The student will be able to: 1. Identify various functional groups. 2. 3. Practice making compounds of functional groups and hydrocarbons.

Brief Online lecture with a Video Clip. Game as a drill exercise.

Sept 11-14

Aromatic compounds

The student will be able to: 1. Define aromaticity. Draw the structure of basic aromatic compounds. Write reactions of aromatic compounds with functional groups. The student will be able to: Define Isomers and Polymers. Draw structural formulae of common isomers. List the general uses commonly used polymers.

Power point presentation with examples of aromatic compounds. Writing chemical reactions in groups
