Ready to introduce the realities of molecular geometry to chemistry pupils? Use a logic-based interactive! Perfect as individual practice, the puzzles explore the bond angles and repulsions present in three common molecular shapes.

Take your chemistry class' knowledge of molecular geometry to the next level! Introduce orbital hybridization with a series of related games. Individuals complete a data table in the first activity, then solve Sudoku-like puzzles using...

How is a molecule's shape determined? Explore bond angles, lone pairs, and VSEPR theory through a logic-based activity. Chemists pull together information about the major molecular shapes, then use it to solve puzzles.

Cells are both made of molecules and make molecules all at the same time! An exploratory lesson provides a means for scholars to research the components of cells made of molecules and also investigate the molecule-producing power of...

In this simulation observe ionic bonds and how they affect the structure of the molecule.

By working through this web-based activity, students differentiate between ionic, non-polar covalent, and polar covalent bonds. Specifically, distinctions are made between bonding types based on orbital shapes and electronegativity...

Follow the energy conversion from potential to kinetic in this interactive activity that explores total energy in chemical reactions.

Media-rich lesson in which students discover that it takes energy to break bonds, and that energy is released when bonds are formed during the process of dissolving. They also determine whether dissolving is either exothermic or...

This simulation helps students investigate the basics of chemical equations. Students will review stoichiometry and what effects their reaction rates.

In this module Activity 3 investigates What changes in energy occur when atoms rearrange during a chemical reaction? This activity explores the relationship between energy and chemical reactions. A bonus reading includes Energy and...

In this activity, students construct models of molecules using marshmallows and gum drops.
