Modelling Molecular Shapes

Modelling Molecular Shapes

Project for High School Chemistry: groups were assigned a molecule to research and find its molecular shape and bond angles. I made sure each group got a different molecular shape. Then they spent a class period using TinkerCad doing tutorials. Then they built their model. Then I taught them VSEPR Theory and the molecular shapes. Then they presented their model to the class and explained how it was an example of one of the molecular shapes. So they basically built their own manipulatives.
