Lewis Dot, VSEPR Shape, Polarity and Intermolecular Forces Activity Sheet
Estelle Lebeau | Thu, 05/23/2019 - 09:00
Determination of Lewis Dot structures and visualization of the shapes of molecules using VSEPR theory is an example of an abstract concept that students often find difficult to learn. I have found it useful to have a single worksheet/packet that my students can add to as we cover Lewis dot structures, resonance, VSEPR shapes, polarity, and intermolecular forces.
A Great Introduction to Stoichiometry
Dustin Williams | Wed, 05/22/2019 - 20:13
This lab is one of my favorite activities to do in my classes and I look forward to it every year. The lab is simple, requires limited supplies, students love it (i.e. high engagement level), and I have found it to really set students up for stoichiometry.
Element of the Month - Sulfur
Stephen Wright | Sat, 05/18/2019 - 18:55
In honor of the International Year of the Periodic Table: A familiarity with the chemistry of some of the elements more commonly encountered in everyday life is a valuable learning experience for all students. Sulfur is the fourth in this series of elements to be discussed as part of the Element of the Month program. #IYPT
