Edexcel 9-1 CC6a Covalent Compounds
TOPIC 1 KEY CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 and PAPER 2- NEW for SEPTEMBER 2017
This lesson was for my bottom set year 9's - they just could not understand covalent bonding therefore I took it to the next level.
I ordered 12 hula hoops (outer shells) and 48 airflow balls (electrons)
I dismantled the hula hoops so they could be taken apart and then put back together and the airflow balls could be added to the outer shells.
This is a step - by - step guided lesson.
IF hula hoops and airflow balls are not available this can be carried out on WHITEBOARDS so it can be used by everyone.
