These covalent bonding ‘puzzle’ card manipulatives provide a hands-on method of creating covalent bonds and help students to visualize the single, double, and triple covalent bonds that occur between the various non-metals. My students seemed to find it much easier to draw the Lewis Dot Diagrams and ball-and-stick diagrams for different molecules when they had the options for electron arrangement in front of them. I use this activity the day after teaching Lewis Dot Diagrams and doing my Cornell Doodle Notes on Covalent Bonding, which provides the opportunity to do some drawing of covalent bonds. To facilitate this activity, print one copy of the manipulative squares per pair of students. I laminated these sheets and cut apart the cards. Print an activity sheet (double-sided) for each student. Quickly point out the examples at the top, stressing that the bond lines need to match up in order for a bond to work! The students should follow the example for the oxygen-oxygen bond to complete the remaining problems. I suggest giving the students a chance to struggle a bit with the first one or two problems and then review the answers to those. Then, they will start to catch on and you can let them discover the answers to the rest with minimal prompting! They don’t need to know how to name the molecules, but I like to introduce them to the idea that the prefix ‘di-’ means two and the prefix ‘tetra-’ means four, etc. As and extension activity for early finishers, have them jump online and look up the names for the CH4 molecule (methane), the NH3 molecule (ammonia), and the others!

As the golden hour casts its warm embrace over the Silver Sands of Morar, this captivating print captures the essence of the Scottish shoreline through the distinctive lens of Cubism. Geometric contours flow across the canvas, transforming the natural landscape into an intricate mosaic of light and shadow. Immerse yourself in the rhythmic patterns that dance along the shore, each ripple and grain of sand reimagined as a piece of a larger, harmonious puzzle. The creamy, golden hues of the sands contrast evocatively with the azure and emerald tones of the water, creating a scene that balances the tranquil calm of the beach with the dynamic movement of the waves. Dominating the skyscape, the sun sits low, woven into the tapestry of undulating lines and shapes that depict the quintessentially Scottish coastal canvas. It is a celestial orb that infuses the scene with a soft, ethereal glow, its light refracting in the atmosphere to yield a palette of subdued ambers and rich oranges. Bound by bold, black outlines, the rocks emerge like stoic guardians of this coastal tableau, their faceted surfaces casting deep shadows that add depth and contrast to the composition. This print offers a truly unique interpretation of one of Scotland's most cherished seascapes, inviting viewers to rediscover the familiar beauty of the Silver Sands of Morar through a Cubist perspective. Whether for a lover of modernist art or an admirer of Scotland's raw, natural beauty, this piece promises to be a striking addition to any collection.
