Product Details

Molecules have shape and we've got the cards to prove it! The structure and shape of a molecule are important to its physical and chemical properties. What are the bond angles for an octahedral? What causes a molecule to be linear? Reinforce the rules behind VSEPR theory by having students play this variation on the popular card game Texas Hold 'Em. Teacher Notes, extensive background material, and reproducible student handouts are included along with 5 decks of cards. Super Value Kit is complete for 30 students working in groups of six. All materials are reusable!

Performance Expectations

HS-PS1-1: Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
HS-PS1-3: Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles.
HS-PS2-6: Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.
