6th - 12th Grade
In this interactive science lesson, students will learn about VSEPR Theory and 3D Molecular Shapes so they can:
- understand molecule polarity.
- connect molecule structure to molecule function.
Both you and your students will know they are successful when they can:
- define terms on the Word Wall.
- count the number of electron concentration areas around the central atom in a molecule.
- manipulate molecular models in a simulation to:
- observe how shapes the number of electron concentration areas around the central atom influence overall shape.
- differentiate between shapes with and without symmetry.
The following components are included in this interactive science lesson to support student-centered learning:
- a “Review & Preview” activity to activate and assess prior knowledge.
- a "Word Wall" which showcases vocabulary that is central to the lesson content.
- analytical reading or writing components to promote scientific literacy.
- at least one independent or small group learning experience which allows (1) students to create artifacts as evidence of their learning and (2) teachers to review main ideas with the whole group.
- data-dependent analysis of the learning experience outcomes.
- detailed answer keys for the outlined activities.
- formative assessment of mastery.
This interactive science lesson is designed for use on a smart whiteboard, for delivery in an online meeting space or as an upload to web sharing applications like Google Slides, Nearpod, edPuzzle, etc.
