Classroom Resources: Molecules & Bonding

1 – 4 of 4 Classroom Resources

• 

  Molecular Formula, Covalent Bonding, Review, Atoms, Molecular Structure | Elementary School, Middle School

  Activity: Atom Catcher Game

  In this activity, students will make several different molecules out of four types of atoms: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in an online game. In order to be successful, the student must move a beaker on the screen to catch the correct type and number of atoms needed to form a particular molecule. Students can score points by making as many correct molecules as possible in a given amount of time.

• 

  Elements, Molecular Formula, Model of the Atom, Subatomic Particles | Elementary School, Middle School

  Project: What's It Made Of?

  In this project each student will conduct research to discover what compounds, molecules, and elements make up a basic everyday object of their choice. The student will create a poster detailing what the object is made of, including a Bohr model. The student will also create a question about their object’s atomic structure for their peers as part of a culminating project gallery walk to observe, discuss, and learn about each poster.

• 

  Polarity, Molecular Formula, Covalent Bonding, Ionic Bonding | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Animation: Bonding Animation

  In this animation, students will visualize how different chemical bonds form. Examples of ionic, covalent, and polar covalent bonds are animated, and then students are given a sample of compounds to predict the bonding types. **This video has no audio**

• 

  Elements, Interdisciplinary, Molecular Formula, Conservation of Mass, Conservation of Matter, Molecular Structure, Balancing Equations, Reversible Reactions, Chemical Change, Matter, Photosynthesis, Monomer | Elementary School

  Lesson Plan: Plant Chemistry

  In this lesson, students will explore a simple, but key, biochemical reaction: photosynthesis.
