Understanding of the Structure of an Amino Group

In this drawing Lewis structures worksheet, students read about the 5 steps taken to draw Lewis structures for atoms and molecules. These include identifying the valence electrons, placing pairs of electrons between atoms to be bonded,...

Teaching young scientists about atoms is no small task, but this series of worksheets will make it a little easier. From creating and labeling Bohr models, to identifying information provided in the periodic table of elements, this...

The trends in group 16 and the characteristic behavior of the elements involved are listed here. Their properties also help support their function. Explanations of the atomic structure and valence electron number are not included. Since...

While physics is known for the math connections, chemistry is know for geometric connections. The 11th video in the series discusses how to determine the molecular structure of bonded atoms in a 3-D plane using steric numbers.

Discussions of DNA occur in Jurassic Park, X-men, Dexter, and CSI, yet many don't fully understand it. The video explains what DNA is, where it is located, and how it forms proteins. The chemistry of life becomes understandable through...

What may look like a bunch of dots is actually complex science! Gilbert Lewis' work is important for understanding molecular chemistry, and his approach is great for visual learners. The video describes the process of drawing a Lewis dot...

Looking for a highly functional tool to teach young chemists functional groups? Engage the class with a series of logic-based games. Users identify 12 different functional groups by name and formula to work their way through challenging...

Presenting protein structure can be difficult! Take young biologists on a 3-D amino acid adventure with a detailed interactive. Pupils view and manipulate common amino acids individually or as a part of a whole protein. Choose from three...

Written for an introductory organic and biochemistry course, this exam will challenge your class. They label functional groups and stereocenters on drawings of molecules, draw structures given the name, complete drawings of chemical...

DNA follows specific rules when it comes to structure and pairings. Understand what DNA looks like, how it builds itself, and some of the rules that limit it. Individuals view animations showing details not observable under a microscope...
