This lesson plan is used as a guide for implementation of the inquiry-based activity will allow students to define bond polarity and molecular polarity, explain the relationships between bond polarity and molecular polarity, and identify tools/representations to approximate bond and molecular polarity. Additionally, students will use common tools to approximate and compare polarity, use standard notation to indicate polarity, and identify the bonds between atoms as nonpolar covalent, moderately polar covalent, very polar covalent, or ionic.
