This learning activity is designed to be used in a large introductory chemistry course, as part of a larger module of learning activities that includes prior viewing of an interactive instructional video. Instructional videos are to be viewed before class meetings. During class time, students work in small groups and discuss the presented information and question prompts, and will build upon the concepts discussed in that video in order to develop a new, extended concept.Students should be tasked with working together to complete the prompts in each section of the activity by a set time limit. After each section is completed, the entire class can share their answers via a personal response system, and the instructor can review and explain the correct responses, using the accompanying slide deck, which translates the problems into multiple-choice prompts.Instructional resources include 1) interactive instructional videos (these can be embedded directly into the learning management system) 2) the learning activity (.docx and .pdf) 3) the learning objectives (.docx and .pdf) and 4) the slide deck (.pptx). - Chemical Bonding- Resonance - Intermolecular Forces- Collision Theory- Equilibrium- Nucleophiles and Electrophiles

This module refers to elementary school, students’ level A1-A2, 5th grade. The module has 3 vocabulary activities about the weather and 3 grammar activities about adjectives. The last section is a short film for keeping students interested and relaxed, for rewarding them for all the effort they put through the module and of course discuss thoughts and opinions. This module is a combination of listening and speaking, focusing on new vocabulary and grammatical phenomenon. It is multidirectional and has a variety of activities to not only students learn but also to have fun. The videos, one at the beginning and the other one at the end, play significant role, same objectives but different perspectives.
