For the first lesson of Chapter 7, students applied the 3-dimensional ball-and-stick model to bridge the concepts of molecular shape, functional groups, and smell. The Lesson 36 PowerPoint introduced students to the model, during which time they passed around actual models constructed with molecular modeling kits. Next, students transitioned to the activity portion of the lesson, experiencing the scents of five different compounds, connecting the smells to molecular structure, and recording observations and analysis responses in the Lesson 36 Worksheet.
