Wk#8: March 2-6, 2026 ~ Honors Chemistry

Essential Question

a) How does the type of carbon–carbon bonding (single, double, or triple) determine the structure, naming, and reactivity of alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes?


b) How can analyzing my first-semester performance and learning strategies help me make intentional adjustments to improve my understanding, skills, and outcomes in the second semester?

Learning Target

a) I can analyze the structural differences between alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes by identifying bond types, writing and interpreting molecular and structural formulas, applying IUPAC naming rules, and predicting relative reactivity based on the degree of unsaturation.


b) I can analyze my first-semester strengths, challenges, and learning habits and explain specific strategies I will adjust & apply to improve my performance/understanding in the 2nd semester.

8c. Molecular Competition Building

1. Select a person in your group to be designated as the "runner" to check your model for correctness.

2. Mr. Rice will call out a chemical name & your team builds the molecular compound before the buzzer rings (3 min).

3. When the structure is made, the runner must line-up in the appropriate location in the room.

4. Each group be checked one group at a time.

5. The number of points earned through this activity will be given extra credit on the test or to the overal grade.
