Apologia Chemistry: Module 5 Experiment 5.1 Measure Width of a Molecule

 Experiment 5.1 is hard.  During the COVID quarantine, I taught Chem remotely.  I made this slideshow and the video below.  I also spent hours and hours online working with kids individually.  Once we do this lab in class, I’ll post a few tips.  The slideshow has the lab steps and calculations.  One tip is to use a large bowl and cover the surface of the bowl of water with a THIN layer of black pepper.   This lab is both inexpensive and academically rigorous.  Ideally, repeat the lab three times and average the results.
