ISOMERS: Worksheets and Molecular Model Lab Activity (Focus on Stereoisomers)
ISOMERS: Worksheets and Molecular Model Lab Activity (Focus on Stereoisomers)
Thalidomide was a medication that was designed to reduce the effect of morning sickness. Tragically no one could have guessed that a simple mirror twin molecule of thalidomide could cause some of the worst birth defects ever recorded. This lab activity is about ISOMERS but with a focus on a branch of isomers called stereoisomers. These isomers differ only in their spatial arrangement of atoms and were once thought to

Bundle of CCMA activities
These are research activities for a typical CTE classroom. These can be used in many different health-related fields. I love to use these during sub days, for home-bound students, or to get my students the opportunity to use technology in the classroom. Getting senior-level students ready for college research is hard, and sometimes boring. These quick research opportunities are great for introducing research into your classroom.

Grouping the Elements Worksheet
The goal of this worksheet is to have students research the properties of the different families/groups in the periodic table.
Mendeleev arranged the elements by what are now know as groups or families. Each "family" has similar characteristics that keep these elements closely related.
Students will go through the different groups of the periodic table and describe some basic details about what makes them similar to each other, but unique from other groups.
