This Smartboard presentation teaches high school chemistry students in grades 10-12 about chemical bonding. It uses movable bond pieces to represent how atoms bond together to form different compounds in an interactive way. This lesson could be easily adapted to teach about other compounds beyond what is shown and the concept of covalent bonding could also be taught in biology classes.

4. How I would use this lesson
The use of the movable bond pieces is unique and clever
Could easily be adapted to any compounds, not just the ones
shown
This lesson could also be adapted to teach covalent bonding in
a non-chemistry setting (like biology) where the idea of the
valence electrons isn’t as vital
