Take a look at Bond with James. The first image uses plastic cups to assign electrons when kids write electron configurations—always a pain. Another teacher on Social Media has plastic cups in different colors for s, p, d, orbitals. She uses craft sticks. So, I took inspiration and made my own prop. I had a large box, craft sticks, and clear, plastic cups. I couldn’t find my Velcro; instead, I hot-glued the labeled cups to the box. I didn’t have room for 4d orbitals. However, this prop should take up over the hump to learn how electrons occupy orbitals.
