Units / Unit A / Polarity, Water, and Solubility
Polarity, Water, and Solubility
Relate polar water to properties; predict solubility with solubility chart (A-GO2-SO6, SO7).
Lesson plan — step by step
- 1
Prepare
Solubility chart handout.

Set purpose
Display learning-intent slide; clarify success criteria and POS tags.
- 3
Teach
Walk through 7 slides in order—use talk tracks and questions in presenter notes.
- 4
Formative check
Solubility prediction: Predict yes/no for 5 compounds using chart.
- 5
Close
Exit slide; assign optional review of student notes online.
