Electron Point Diagrams Alongside Stickers!

I'm non totally happy amongst my notes for electron point diagrams, in addition to thus I'm non posting the forepart of this foldable. My description is likewise wordy, in addition to I'm non certain it totally summarized the procedure of creating an electron point diagram. Also, I learned from reading lots of other teachers depict the procedure online that teachers can't actually grip virtually how to learn it anyway. Some online explanations insisted you lot should position 2 electrons on ane side earlier you lot position whatsoever electrons on whatsoever of the other sides. Other online explanations insisted you lot should position ane electron on each side earlier doubling upward the electrons on whatsoever of the sides.

I'm trained every bit a math teacher, non a scientific discipline teacher. So, I merely chose ane of the ways in addition to went amongst it. So, if you lot intend the other means is right, it may really good be. The stance I'm blogging virtually tin endure used no affair which means you lot select to learn it. :)

When I typed upward my notes, I position an explanation of the procedure on the forepart of the foldable in addition to a tabular array amongst 12 do problems on the within of the foldable. Originally, my excogitation was to allow students clit inward the dots for the electrons approximately the chemic symbol. Then, I had the epiphany that nosotros could purpose modest round out stickers for the electrons.

I possess got an entire tub of stickers inward my cabinet, in addition to thus lack of stickers was definitely non a problem. I gave students the choice betwixt a canvass of animate beingness stickers, smiley seem upward stickers, in addition to pawprint stickers. What does it state virtually me that I was able to hand every unmarried pupil inward the cast a total canvass of stickers without making them share? Yes. I ain likewise many stickers. I hope I'm working on it. I told my married adult man this by summertime that he had to destination me if I tried to purchase whatsoever to a greater extent than stickers.

Looking at these electron point diagrams makes me in addition to thus happy.

My students caught on to this concept in addition to thus easily that they begged to possess got the quiz correct afterwards nosotros took the notes. I agreed because I'm create to motion on to ionic vs. covalent compounds. And, we'll acquire enough to a greater extent than do amongst electron point diagrams inward that section!

Note to self: Edit version B of this quiz earlier didactics this cast again.

You know something has gone terribly incorrect when 25% of the cast (I write iv versions of each quiz) starts giggling every bit shortly every bit you lot hand them their quiz.
