What is included in this resource:

• Lesson powerpoint
• Topic map
• Starter activity for retrieval practice
• Learning objectives and specification references
• Lesson content
• Opportunities for formative assessment

Why this resource?
This lesson defines covalent bonding, explains how they are formed, how they are represented in dot and cross diagrams and how molecular formulae can be determined from a model or diagram.
This lesson follows on from C2 L5: Metallic Bonding.

All lessons are designed with the Ofsted framework in mind: minimal clutter on the slides, clear flow between the lesson sequence, a topic map to show how this lesson fits in with the rest of the topic, and lesson objectives that get referred back to at each interval in the lesson with questions to check for understanding of every learning objective.
