My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: chemistry
Topic I was teaching: Bonding
My learning goal for which this resource was used: Show how shape of molecules are determined by electrons surrounding a central atom. Better visualization.
Course Level: A.P., Honors or Advanced
How I/my students used the resource: used to visualize the difference in effect of lone pair vs bonding electron pairs. To compare shapes and understand the reasons that methane is not flat as it appears in a book.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Provides additional content, Provides assessment opportunity
Strengths: Good explanation, easy to use
Weaknesses: It includes extended octets which I don't teach to honors or 1st year students which may be confusing if they went to the site themselves.
