Ionic & Covalent Bonds 3D Research Project Cube | Chemistry Activity

Description

Bring chemical bonding to life with this Ionic & Covalent Bonds 3D Research Project Cube, a hands-on, student-centered research activity designed for upper elementary and middle school science classrooms. Students explore the two major types of chemical bonds — ionic and covalent — and investigate how atoms bond, share, or transfer electrons, the properties of resulting substances, and real-world applications. They then organize their findings into a three-dimensional research cube that makes abstract chemistry concepts visual, engaging, and memorable.

Perfect for physical science or introductory chemistry units, STEM research projects, and interactive notebooks, this activity blends research, analysis, writing, and creative representation while providing an impactful way to display student learning in your classroom or hallways.

Students can complete these cubes two ways. You can print the template on card stock and have them complete it by hand, or you can give them the PowerPoint template, have them complete it in PowerPoint, then print the completed cube.

Your students will be completely engaged with this hands-on science activity!
