Lesson plan — step by step

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Prefix chart mono- to deca-.

  2. 2

    Set purpose

    Display learning-intent slide; clarify success criteria and POS tags.

  3. 3

    Teach

    Walk through 8 slides in order—use talk tracks and questions in presenter notes.

  4. 4

    Formative check

    Naming relay: Teams alternate formula ↔ name.

  5. 5

    Close

    Exit slide; assign optional review of student notes online.

Teacher overview

Precise communication in science.

Before class

  • Prefix chart mono- to deca-.

Common misconceptions

  • Using 'ide' suffix on molecular compounds incorrectly.
