I have over 23 years teaching high school chemistry & middle school science. My strengths lie in my ability to organize information, make things visually appealing & break down concepts into manageable pieces.
This bundle contains everything needed to teach the essential concepts for bonding in a high school chemistry class. Emphasis is placed on understanding bonds as electrostatic attractions and how pairs of electrons interact, which aligns to concepts taught in college-prep classes such as DP Chemistry. Topics Covered:Ionic Bonding & Balancing Ionic FormulasCovalent BondingDrawing Lewis StructuresVSEPR & Molecular GeometryMetallic BondingIncluded:5 Sets of Visual Guided Notes3 WorksheetsPrinting
Are you looking for a fun project to apply learning about ecosystems? In this project, students design a unique ecosystem with its own organisms, organize the organisms in a food web, and identify ecological relationships. This was a popular project with my students who loved the creativity involved. Additionally this project can be adapted in different ways... It can be hand-drawn or designed on the computer.Student can use AI to generate pictures.There are options to simply or add to the proje
This is an 4-page worksheet with 14 questions asking students students to draw a variety of covalent structures with single, double & triple bonds. Extension questions covering more complex molecules & polyatomic ions are included for early finishers or students who would like a challenge. Topics Covered:Basic Lewis Structures (molecules with a center atom)Complex Molecules (without a center atom)Structures for Polyatomic Ions (with directions)Included:4-Page Worksheet with Extension Questio
