Ionic Bonding & Ionic Compounds Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson: Solid Salt Electrical Insulator Becoming an Electrical Conductor When Melted Presentation | Chemistry | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Scaffolded Phenomena-Based Lesson in the high school Chemistry (grades 9–12) chapter Ionic Bonding & Ionic Compounds, built around the phenomenon Solid Salt Electrical Insulator Becoming an Electrical Conductor When Melted. This scaffolded version adds sentence frames and extra supports for students who need them. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.

What's inside: SCAFFOLDED Student Slide Show (editable .pptx + PDF, 16 slides).

Standards: HS-PS1-1 — Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. HS-PS1-3 — Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles. HS-PS2-6 — Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.

Resource type: Phenomena-Based Lesson – Presentation. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Open with the phenomenon slide show, let students record ideas on the response sheet, and lead the discussion with the teacher guide. Built for high school Chemistry, grades 9–12.
