Classify ball-and-stick models
Grade 5 students classify ball-and-stick models in this physical science worksheet, exploring how these representations show the arrangement of atoms in molecules and compounds. Teachers can use it during a matter and chemical models unit to help students interpret and evaluate molecular models as scientific communication tools. Understanding ball-and-stick models supports both chemistry content knowledge and the practice of using representations in science.
Learning objectives
- Classify ball-and-stick models by the type of molecule or compound they represent
- Interpret ball-and-stick models to identify the atoms and bonds in a molecule
- Explain how ball-and-stick models represent atomic arrangement and molecular structure
