Atomic & Molecular Structure
|
|
These workshop plans are drawn from a working outline, and should not be taken as a "recipe" but rather as a jumping-off place for designing your own activities. Be sure to review and warm up with students before each session. Students will need to know the following information in advance: positive & negative charges / polarity; definitions of atom, molecule, proton, electron and neutron.

Carbon: Structure Matters
|
|
The purpose of this lesson is to explore the molecular structure of matter and how it can affect the physical characteristics of a specific material. By they time they study high school chemistry, students should grasp the idea that a wide variety of phenomena can be explained by alternative arrangements of vast numbers of invisibly tiny, moving parts.
