Classroom Resources: Molecules & Bonding

1 – 5 of 5 Classroom Resources

• 

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

• 

  Mixtures, Solubility, Intermolecular Forces, Polarity, Solute & Solvent, Intermolecular Forces, Molecular Geometry | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Animation: Solubility Animation

  In an animation, students will have an opportunity to visualize on the particulate level how solubility works. Examples of ionic compounds and a polar covalent compound show how when water is attracted to charged parts, they dissolve, and when they're not attracted to charged parts they stay solid. **This video has no audio**

  History, Periodic Table, Molecular Structure, Molecular Structure , Molecular Geometry | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Video: Phosphorous Video

  In this video, Sam Kean tells the story of how phosphorus was at the center of the race to discover the structure of DNA.

• 

  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**"

  Observations, Physical Properties, Introduction, Polymers | Elementary School

  Activity: Bouncy Ball

  In this activity, students explore the chemical reaction between borax and glue, creating a polymer ball. The properties of the polymer ball will be analyzed and compared to a store bought bouncy ball.
