Applied Molecular Design

A project-based chemistry unit where 12th-grade students apply their knowledge of molecular geometry, polarity, and bonding to design a molecule for a specific pharmaceutical or industrial purpose. The sequence progresses from analyzing existing structure-activity relationships to using computational modeling tools and pitching a custom molecular design.
