Building Chemical Molecules: Carbon Chemistry

Here are some models we made in our carbon chemistry unit.

Some of us showed more dexterity than Mrs. Black!!! :)Also

Also, students were so awesome, they were able to make molecules of different shapes like planar, tetrahedral, linear, and bent too!

Also, we were able to make different hydrocarbons forming different carbon backbone structures like straight, branched, and ring chains.

And here are a few others that we made…look for the cool double bond ones!!!

We figured at the end of the two days we spent on this that we can do this or activities like legos for days…it was fun!

Here is a short YOUTUBE Video on Carbon Chemistry. It’s a brief summary of what we discover in this unit.
