Thu, Dec 19, 2013 8:23 AM in AP CHEM- Molecular Orbital Theory
Good morning,
I am in my first year teaching AP Chem and despite being a little further behind than I would hope, I think things are going pretty well.
I taught MO theory yesterday and my kids are totally lost. I am not sure how to explain it beyond textbook definition style. Its such a tricky and not tangible concept.
Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.

I am in my second year teaching and I think that I stressed more than I actually end up dealing with major issues.

I have had several parent meetings both with strong and not so strong students, and as long as I go in prepared and don't get pushed around, they always end up okay.

I don't have a district mandated curriculum, though I do feel like I have a lot to cover and I really struggle especially as a new teacher to do so. Any suggestions on pacing-- especially in general level classes?
