I have made a cartoon of dot cross type diagrams for all of the structures on the AQA specification. Simple double click on the covalent bonding.html file and it runs in your browser.

Could be starter or plenary or interlude. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.
