7. August 10, 2006 MERLOT Conference Scope Sample This learning object is directed towards students in grade 11 chemistry as an introduction to ionic bonding. Through animation and written information, students will distinguish between metals and non-metals, discover their preference towards electron loss or gain and watch as the ions combine to form ionic bonds. Animation will show the movement of electrons as well as the charge distribution of the molecule. A quiz follows the learning object, which assesses student understanding in the topic through an interactive question and answer session.
