  3. Wow, this might be the best resource I've ever found! I'm a first year corp member teaching Chemistry and will be using this immediately. Thank you so much for starting this and in such an organized way. Please, please, please keep posting!

    (P.S. looking forward to a unit on the Periodic Table!)

  4. Thanks! :)

    I actually don't do a unit on the periodic table because I really have a hard time teaching things out of context-- trends are ALL over the place. So....

    I teach size trends when we go over shells and Bohr models.

    I teach electronegative trends when we go over polarity in chemical bonds.

    I do not teach electron affinity or ionization energy for basic chemistry because we don't use it in our problems.

    I go over group trends when we talk about Lewis Dot Diagrams, specifically valence electrons, because students HAVE to know about valence electrons to even be able to start to grasp bonding.

    If you're state tested and really have to emphasize these trends, then I would take a day to go over all the trends already taught, one more time--a day of synthesis perhaps.

    Hopefully this helps!
