The following materials are for teachers to evaluate only. They are not for classroom use. Purchasing the entire year of chemistry can be done here.

For context: This unit is placed immediately after our chemical bonding unit. Students have learned about atoms, electrons and the periodic table. They just finished the unit on chemical bonding so they know how to write names and formulas for ionic and covalent compounds. This unit focuses on covalent compounds and the forces between the molecules. We will begin with learning how to draw simple covalent Lewis structures...

The following hyperlinks are the materials that are included in Unit 5. Note: Microsoft Word files enable quick and easy editing so you can customize for your students. The answer keys and videos explain the answers to the original unedited assignments.  Please note: As you can see below, all ChemQuests, Skill Practice assignments, and Reviews have complete answer keys and video explanations. Occasionally, a few extra assignments and labs may not include videos or keys.

**With this course, I include many of the lab investigations that I use with my students. The labs are very effective and interesting, but they are in "draft" format and are not part of what I sell. Rather, I'm giving them away for free as a bonus when you purchase the course. You will see some of them in this unit below. Some I have made up myself, others are conglomerations from many colleagues I've networked with over the years. I have not included every safety precaution necessary and so each of the labs require certified chemistry teachers to read and understand the directions and to be familiar with all safety precautions necessary for handling each chemical.

Here, in the appropriate order, are the materials for Unit 5: Intermolecular Forces.

As you can see from the sample unit, guided inquiry is much less monotonous than textbook-based or lecture-based learning. Extensive video instruction allows teachers to "flip" their classroom, saving valuable time and energy. Please reach out and let us know if you have any questions about implementing our resources.
