4Students are given actual formulas and they have to draw what the molecules
•
would be.
Have students make images of the molecules in jmol and take snapshots of at
•
least two angles for each image. This means they need to know how to rotate
the images. If we can pull it off, I will have students make a website where they
upload at least one molecule in jmol so others can come to the website to play
with the molecule. An example of what I’m talking about can be found here:
Adaptations for special learners:
Exceptional learners:
Needs auditory support: read the lesson that is on the website out loud to make
•
an audio file to go with the website.
Hopefully all students will be having hands-on experiences with equipment so
•
they can build their own molecules. This should help students who need
kinesthetic modes to acquire information.
Supplemental Activities:
Extension:
Students can figure out how or why some molecules have double or triple bonds
Students can make 3-d models of molecules using their own materials, not a kit
Remediation:
I think I just went over it with the students one on one. Sometimes playing with the jmol
software will help them see a three dimensional structure. I may have to make a video
that goes over how to upload jmol and how to use it if I cannot find videos of that
already online.
Assessment/Evaluation:
Learner success is seen as they make changes to their diagrams over time.
•
Their Venn diagrams will also be examined.
•
Students can be given a written assessment where they are given formulas and
•
they need to draw the Lewis Dot diagrams and identify the shape of the
molecule.
Learner Products:
•
Students will have their drawings.
•
If an advanced activity is done where students make a clay model or a 3-D
•
model of molecules using something other than a model kit, then they will have
these models to cherish.
