About this presentation
Using ChemSketch for Molecular Modeling in the Classroom presented by Efren Rodriguez, ACT2 2010 ChemSketch is a free molecular modeling program provided by ACD labs, http://acdlabs.com/home/, which can be used to electronically model the different molecular geometries discussed in the chemistry classroom. ChemSketch can indicate the angles associated with given molecular geometries, it can show different ways of visualizing the bonded atoms, and can be used to show relative distances of the bonds. ChemSketch can be used to create animations of the different molecules. It can be used to draw out chemical reactions, including arrow pushing. ChemSketch has built in templates for different molecules, biological for example, and lab equipment which can be used for instructional materials. The session will be hands-on for the basics needed to use ChemSketch in the classroom. This is a video only recording of the demonstration.
How to study this deck
Chemistry decks layer micro and macro views of matter. Watch for the moment a slide shifts from molecular drawings to bulk reaction equations — that transition is usually where misconceptions enter. Re-read those slides twice.
Undergraduate viewers should treat this as a scaffolding for deeper reading — the slides outline the territory, but the textbook chapters and primary sources remain the actual content.
Five questions to test your understanding
- What is the single most important claim on the first three slides, and what evidence is offered for it?
- Which slide could you remove without losing the argument? Which slide is load-bearing?
- Where does the deck switch from definitions to applications? Mark that transition.
- What would a student who already disagreed with the conclusion need to see to be convinced?
- Which two slides, if combined, would give the clearest one-slide summary of the whole deck?
