Functional Groups Teacher Resources

These 37 slides start with definitions of six types of functional groups, their molecular structure, and multiple examples or each. During the rest of the presentation, organic chemistry learners are given an opportunity to practice...

Looking for a highly functional tool to teach young chemists functional groups? Engage the class with a series of logic-based games. Users identify 12 different functional groups by name and formula to work their way through challenging...

What's the function of functional groups? Explore the portions of biological molecules that make things happen with a video from Socratica's series on biology. The narrator illustrates each major functional group, then describes them in...

Ready to put the fun in functional groups? Introduce your class to this fundamental part of organic chemistry with a short video. The narrator explains the structure and naming system of hydrocarbons, as well as the elements and bonding...

Worried that your lesson plan about functional groups is dysfunctional? Liven things up with interactive puzzles! Curious chemists arrange functional groups based on name, formula, suffix, and an example. The challenge begins when the...

A short and clear video explains the importance of carbon in biomolecules, carbon chains, and functional groups. As an introduction to the four classes of biomolecules, the graphics support the ideas presented. 

For this naming compounds with functional groups worksheet, students read about using the IUPAC rules for naming these compounds and they draw structures for 3 -carbon, 2-carbon and 4-carbon molecules and give the names for each.

A great review of the structure and function of carbon-based molecules important to life, especially with relevance to humans. The chemistry behind the combination of polymers and the breakdown of bonds is covered. Valuable content...

Sal approaches the functional group OH. He gives details of the term alcohol, and clarifies the differences from drinking alcohol. Again, there is practice of naming molecules and functional group location.

Written for an introductory organic and biochemistry course, this exam will challenge your class. They label functional groups and stereocenters on drawings of molecules, draw structures given the name, complete drawings of chemical...

Biodiversity begins at the molecular level. When biology pupils complete this worksheet, they will explore a variety of organic compounds that are necessary for life. Six short-answer questions and a chart of the functional groups are to...

Though there are technically only 13 questions on this exam, they take up six pages and make a thorough assessment of organic chemistry principles. There are plenty of diagrams to label or complete. Emission spectra are displayed for...

If you need a straightforward and comprehensive organic chemistry exam, check this one out. Chemistry pupils identify functional groups in molecule diagrams, draw a Lewis structure, fill in a table about molecular shape, predict boiling...

This five-page exam was designed for a biochemistry and organic chemistry course. It covers the molecular geometry and properties of organic comounds. Test takers identify compounds, functional groups, and isomers. They draw Lewis...

After giving basic details about the properties of carbon, some of the common functional groups and molecules are featured. There is some information about specific functions and impact on the human body. The diagrams are helpful and...

Introduce the macromolecules that make up living organisms. An instructive explains functional groups, dehydration and hydrolysis, and the four types of macromolecules. Video is the seventh in a series of 10.

In this functional groups worksheet, students are given twenty molecules and they must write the functional group for each molecule by identifying it's structural components.

With so many possible sites to bond with, how can chemists ensure that they can produce only the product they seek? The 12th and final video in the green chemistry series has pupils observe how to use derivatives to isolate functional...

In this biochemistry worksheet, learners complete a crossword puzzle with 36 questions. They identify different polymers and functional groups.

This comprehensive video focuses on functional groups including alcohols, hydroxyl groups, aldehydes, carboxylic acid, acetone, ethers, esters, and amines.
