Super Value Guided-Inquiry Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
There are more than nine million organic compounds! What makes all these compounds different? Introduce the basic structural theory of organic chemistry by building molecules from the ground up. In this guided-inquiry activity, students use the reasoning skills of the scientific method to draw structural formulas of organic compounds, determine the general formulas of hydrocarbons, and develop the concept of isomers. The activity is divided into five parts and is designed for small groups of students working together. Each part of the activity is a self-contained unit, so different student groups can start with different sections as the model sets needed for each activity rotate among the groups. Student collaboration and discussion is the heart of the guided-inquiry process, in which students use reasoning skills and critical thinking to actively “construct” their knowledge of the subject matter. Includes reproduc- ible student handouts, detailed background information, and complete Instructor’s Notes with sample data and answers to all questions.
Super Value Kit is complete for five student groups. All materials are reusable.

Chemical Bonding—Activity-Stations Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
What kinds of forces hold atoms together in a molecule
or compound? How does the nature of the forces holding atoms together influence the properties of a material? Use these two activities to investi- gate ionic, covalent and metallic bonding and to explore the relationships between the properties of a material, its structure and chemical bonding. Each activity focuses on different properties and is a self-contained unit.
• Properties of Solids—Study the physical properties of common solids
and investigate the relationship between the types of bonding in a
substance and its properties.
• Dyes, Dyeing and Chemical Bonding—The affinity of a dye for a
fabric depends on the chemical structure of the dye and fabric mole- cules and on the interactions between them. Chemical bonding plays an important role in how and why dyes work.
Each activity is designed to take about 25 minutes to complete, with
student groups rotating between the stations. Includes Instructor’s Notes with sample data, extensive background material, reproducible student handouts and all necessary chemicals and consumable supplies.
Complete for 30 students working in groups of three.
