Final Product from the Come Together WebQuest
Choose one of the following products to demonstrate what you have learned.

STORY - Choose one type of bonding (ionic, covalent, or metallic) and write “A Day in the Life
of an Atom” story describing what it's like to be an atom that forms your chosen bond type. The
story should incorporate at least 5 properties from your Bonding Comparison Chart.

COMIC STRIP - Choose one type of bonding (ionic, covalent, or metallic) and write a comic
strip with 3 or more frames. The comic should incorporate at least 3 properties from your
Bonding Comparison Chart.

SINGLE-FRAME CARTOON - Draw a single-frame cartoon for each type of bonding. This
cartoon would have three frames altogether, one for each type of bonding. Each cartoon should
incorporate at least one key property from your Bonding Comparison Chart that compares the
three types of bonding. For instance, if you decide to focus on electrical conductivity as your
property, you may choose to do the following. The first frame might show salt becoming a
solution and a galvanometer dipped into the solution which shows electrical current flowing
through it. Your next frame would focus on a covalent substance such as table sugar dissolved in
water which will not show current when hooked up to a galvanometer. The last frame would
show a metallic substance like aluminum conducting electricity when hooked up to a
galvanometer.
