What do you want students to learn by the end of your lesson?(Learning Objectives)
I want my students to learn how to draw a Lewis dot structure for a molecule given its
empirical formula. This will involve:
Finding an element’s number of valence electrons by looking at a periodic table
Understanding the octet rule
Understanding covalent bonds and lone pairs
What will the lesson cover? What activities will you use? (Teaching Objectives)
This lesson will cover how to use Lewis dot structures to represent molecules in chemistry. I
will begin by introducing the purpose behind these structures and then walk through two
examples of drawing a dot structure from a chemical formula. For the second example, I will
ask students to help me with parts of the problem-solving process. Finally, I will challenge
students to draw a Lewis dot structure for a new molecule from scratch to assess their
learning.
Materials Needed?
I will be screen sharing the periodic table and my work drawing structures from my laptop.
Students do not need anything besides internet connection and something to draw with.
