High School Learning with Apple #18: Drawing a Lewis Structure

Jennifer Orton (@jorton) and I met at ADE institute in 2023 and have been working on compiling lessons for high school teachers using MacBooks or iPads in class. Jennifer uses iPads, and I use MacBooks, and in our collaboration, we realized that small adjustments can be made to apply the lessons in each environment. Over the next 30 days, we’ll post one lesson idea each day! 

Lesson Idea #18: Drawing a Lewis Structure

 

In high school, we have several high level courses taken by our students. These teachers have the same needs as all other teachers in our buildings. In this lesson example, our AP Chemistry teacher wanted her students to show their understanding of the valence electrons and the Lewis Structure for their compounds.

This teacher utilized a variety of tools within Keynote to get her students to show their understanding of the material, such as Magic Move, Live Video, and utilizing pre-recorded videos. Her students went above and beyond to show their understanding.
