Lewis structures, a fundamental topic in high school chemistry, are also among the most challenging concepts for students to master.

A lack of understanding in this area can lead to difficulties in related topics such as chemical bonding, interactions between species, mixtures, solutions, and VSEPR theory. For this reason, a solid grasp of molecular structures is essential for long-term success in chemistry.

Let me tell you about a creative project one of my students did! I had asked him to complete a chemistry project. He’s a huge fan of Legos, though molecular structures weren’t exactly his strong suit—but he absolutely did an outstanding job.
