Instructional Ideas
- Use the video to teach structure and nomenclature at the same time
- Plan some practice time after watching until pupils get the hang of it
Classroom Considerations
- Consider passing out molecular modeling kits and having the class build the molecules along with the narrator
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- Builds molecules slowly so that pupils can piece together the structure as well as its name
- Shows isomers both as models and as diagrams to make sure viewers understand how they differ in 3-D space
Cons
- None
