Curated OER
Isomers and Polymers
Learners create models of structural isomers, geometric isomers, and polymers. In this chemistry lesson, students are given definitions and molecular model kits to create a variety of different isomers and polymers.
Curated OER
Isomer
In this isomer worksheet, students use molecular model kits to build isomers. Students work in groups and draw and name the isomers they build. They answer 9 questions about both geometric and structural isomers.
Curated OER
Organic Chemistry
In this organic chemistry worksheet, students solve 20 problems including isomer structure, functional groups, types of reactions and the polymers that make up the structures of organic molecules.

Structural Isomers are molecules which have the same molecular formula but have different connectivities (The Order They Are Put Together). Alkanes can be very simple examples of this. This pages shows a few examples.
