What educators are saying

This resource helped my Chemistry students to understand what molecules look like. It also gave them a visual of happens when you have several of the same molecule. Good resource.

Description

How do we build molecules from various atoms? In this virtual lab, students will use the "Build a Molecule" PhET Simulation to construct different molecules and identify the elements and atoms that make them up. Students will also:

⚗️Test their Pre-Existing Knowledge of Elements & Molecules

⚗️Build Molecules and Identify the Elements that Make Them Up

⚗️Analyze 3D Models of Molecules and Discuss Atomic Radius & Size

⚗️Count Atoms in a Molecule using Coefficients and Subscripts

Check out the Simulation here: Build a Molecule

NOTE: Interactive runs on HTML5 - Lab uses both "Single", "Multiple", and "Playground" Simulations.

Purchase includes the 3-page Student Worksheet (PDF), 3-page Teacher Answer Key (PDF), and 3-page Digital Student Worksheet (Google).

VIRTUAL LEARNING

This lab comes with a Google Slides version of the Student Worksheet hyperlinked in the Teacher Answer Key - this lab is designed for digital and face-to-face learning!

Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. Emphasis is on developing models of molecules that vary in complexity. Examples of simple molecules could include ammonia and methanol. Examples of extended structures could include sodium chloride or diamonds. Examples of molecular-level models could include drawings, 3D ball and stick structures, or computer representations showing different molecules with different types of atoms. Assessment does not include valence electrons and bonding energy, discussing the ionic nature of subunits of complex structures, or a complete depiction of all individual atoms in a complex molecule or extended structure.
