Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry Project-Based Learning Activity is a project-based learning activity for high school Chemistry (grades 9–12) on Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry.

Pairs with: Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry Slide Show Presentation; Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry Guided Notes; Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry Lesson Quiz; Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry Vocabulary Words & Definitions.

Sections: Chemistry Project Based Learning Activities • Chapter 08; Chemistry Project Based Learning • Chapter 08; Project Station #1; Technical Vocabulary Matching; Learning Objective & STEM Challenge Target; Investigation Protocol & Directions; Station 1: Technical Vocabulary Term Cards (cut Out); Term #1. Sample item: “How does VSEPR theory explain why a water molecule has a bent geometry (104.5 degrees) rather than a linear geometry (180 degrees)?”

What's inside: Project Based Learning Activity (editable .pptx + PDF, 30 slides); answer key / model answers for the teacher.

Standards: 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.

Resource type: Project-Based Learning Activity. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Students work through the project stations over several class periods, ending with a product they present. Built for high school Chemistry, grades 9–12.

Format note: These files are delivered in Microsoft Office formats (Word and/or PowerPoint). If you open a worksheet that includes tables in Apple Pages or another non-Microsoft app, table formatting may not display correctly. For best results, use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (or upload the file to Google Docs). If you run into any formatting issues, contact us and we can send a PDF version.
