• Bubbleology: Bubble Molecules  A Word document, author Andy Cherkas, describing how to use bubbles to teach molecular geometry based on the VSEPR Theory.
• Dyes and Dyeing 3 Word documents, author Mordechai Livneh, describing the student activities and directions for teachers. Coloured graphics are used to illustrate the dye process. The suggested approach emphasizes the application of intermolecular forces hence the reason for finding this resource here.
• Molecular Modeling Software  A Power Point Presentation, author Scott MacDonald, describing ChemSketch a free chem draw program from ACD.
• A Compendium of Models for Teaching VSEPR  A Word document, author Fred Schaefer, describing (VSEPR) is based on a simple premise, like charges repel, but the results are significant; valid three-dimensional geometries for molecules are obtained.
