    This document provides a lesson plan for teaching students about molecule shapes using a PhET simulation. The learning goals are for students to be able to: 1) identify substances that have molecular geometry, 2) name geometries of basic molecules, and 3) explain the valence shell electron pair repulsion model used to predict shapes. The background states students will have done a prior PhET simulation and learned Lewis diagrams. The lesson introduction reminds students of central atoms and molecule building directions. Post-lesson assessments involve clicker questions and demonstration of the simulation to facilitate discussion.

    Lesson plan for Molecule Shapes: Introduction

    http://phet.colorado.edu

    Learning Goals: Students will be able to: (information in italics is for teachers only and is not included
    on the student directions.)
     Identify substances to which “Molecular geometry” applies (ie not ionic or metallic substances or
    elements, but covalently bonded molecules with one central atom )
     Name molecule and electron geometries for basic molecules (basic means- maximum six electron
    groups surrounding a central atom.)
     Explain the model being used to predict molecule geometry (repulsions between electron pairs or
    nuclei of bonded atoms –VSPER; electrons are not included in the molecular shape).
     Predict common molecular geometry from the number of electron pairs and bonded atoms around
    a central atom of basic compounds. (geometry includes bond angles, exclusion of lone pairs)

    Background:
    Students will have done Build a Molecule 1 PhET. Before doing the activity, the students will have read
    some in their texts about molecules, will have done Lewis diagrams, and been introduced to a few
    compounds that have multiple bonds.

    Molecular Shapes Introduction:


    Remind students what the central atom is. Also, tell them to read the directions carefully because they
    need to understand that the sim allows “attached groups” which mean lone pairs, single, double, or
    triple bonds. I will make sure to explain that the sim allows building molecules that we will not be
    learning about, but do exist.

    The design team decided to allow many types of molecules because there are complex inorganic
    molecules for which this sim could be used. The maximum allowed is 6 “groups” of electrons where a
    lone pair, single, double, or triple bond counts as a group. That means that students will be able to build
    molecules that are generally not in HS or Gen chemistry texts.

    Post-Lesson: I plan to use clicker questions included in this activity. For some of the questions, if I see
    that the distribution of answers was great, I demonstrated the sim to help students after the first clicker
    response before I made any comments. Then I would have a “revote”. This stimulated lots of discussion
    between votes.
