Molecular Architects

A comprehensive unit on VSEPR theory where students transition from 2D Lewis structures to 3D molecular geometries. Using balloon models, simulations, and hands-on building, students learn how electron repulsion dictates the shape of the world around them.

The Push of Electrons

Students explore the fundamental concept of electron repulsion using balloon models to visualize how domains naturally arrange themselves to minimize repulsion.

Standard Blueprints

Focuses on identifying and naming standard molecular shapes (linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral) where all electron domains are bonding pairs.

The Lone Pair Squish

Introduces the influence of lone pairs on molecular shape, exploring how they exert more repulsion and distort bond angles in shapes like bent and trigonal pyramidal.

Model Building Workshop

A hands-on laboratory experience where students build physical models of molecules to verify their predicted 3D geometries based on Lewis structures.

Complex Structures

Extends VSEPR theory to complex molecules with multiple central atoms, requiring students to analyze geometry at specific points within a larger structure.
