Review for:YouTube- Covalent BondsIf you used this resource in your own classroom, please add your review. posted: on January 15, 2008 at 11:10AM
My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: Chemical bonds
Topic I was teaching: Covalent Bonds
My learning goal for which this resource was used: I wanted the students to have a visual to help them understand the concept of bonding. I used two videos for covalent bonding, and another two for ionic bonds.
Course Level: Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: As an additional aid to what they had read.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation
Strengths: I think it's very important to provide as many visuals as possible when dealing with topics that are so abstract. The students could clearly see how a covalent bond SHARED electrons in contrast to an ionic bond.
Weaknesses: The colors were a little difficult to see in one of the two videos (the second one I added here).
