• 

  Molecular Formula, History, Functional Groups, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Structure | High School

  Activity: Napoleon's Buttons Writing Assignment Mark as Favorite (25 Favorites)

  In this activity, students read Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson’s book Napoleon’s Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History. They discuss the book in class and complete a written assignment based on the chemistry and history highlighted in the book.

• 

  Naming Compounds, Molecular Formula, Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding | High School

  Activity: Chemical Names and Formulas Practice Mark as Favorite (48 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will practice naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds, covalent compounds, and acids. The flowchart provided reminds students of different naming conventions and how to tell when to use various naming rules. Students are also asked to make connections with language studies regarding prefixes and suffixes and to reflect on the importance of consistent naming rules for clear communication.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Atomic Mass, Molar Mass | High School

  Activity: Molecule Building Tournament Mark as Favorite (12 Favorites)

  In this activity, students determine molecular formulas given formula masses and a limited number of atoms.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Geometry, Naming Compounds, Lewis Structures, Periodic Table, Valence Electrons, Lewis Dot Diagrams, Ions, Subatomic Particles | High School, Middle School

  Simulation: Ionic & Covalent Bonding Mark as Favorite (161 Favorites)

  In the September 2016 simulation, students investigate both ionic and covalent bonding. Students will have the opportunity to interact with many possible combinations of atoms and will be tasked with determining the type of bond and the number of atom needed to form each. Students will become familiar with the molecular formula, as well as the naming system for each type of bond and geometric shape, when applicable.
