Description
Students make a copy of a Google drawing, and manipulate objects on the drawing to build a wide variety of models. This includes 5 activities and directions for use:
1. Modeling ionic formulas
2. Building models of atoms
3. Building energy diagrams for electron configurations
4. Modeling a sugar water solution
5. Building simple Lewis structures
The NGSS framework encourages students to build and use models. This is frequently done with costly, bulky manipulatives. At the same time, many schools and districts are increasing student access to Chromebooks and other devices and teachers are using LMS's. Address both of these by using models that students construct using tools in Google docs and allow for teacher grading in the appropriate LMS's.
All activities are customizable to meet your specific classroom needs.

This is a great resource. It was just not a good fit for the level of Lab Chemistry that I am teaching. It has additional concepts that my students did not need. I did use it as a demonstration model while presenting.
More teachers need to be following you! Your work is very engaging to students and helps them also work on their computer skills.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you are finding my resources helpful.
I used some of these activities in my class this year and really liked them! Students have a hard time connecting symbolic representations of chemistry (formulas of ionic compounds, electron configurations, etc.) and written descriptions (dissolution of covalent compounds, structure of the atom, etc.) to what is actually going on at the particle level. These activities allow students to better visualize these concepts and internalize them. They don't take any more than 15-20 minutes, so they are the perfect length to add variety and depth to a lesson. Thanks!
