Chemistry of Tires Kevin McElhaney

Plastics Van Der Waals Forces

Polymer chains in plastics (HDPE) are connected mostly by VAN DER WAALS FORCES

Note that the polymer chains in plastics (HDPE) are not cross-linked

HDPE= high-density polyethylene

Molecular Workbench Model Impact of heat and pressure on covalent and

Van Der Waals bonding

Computational Thinking and Recycling

Disciplinary knowledge of bond types central. Students model complex processes. Can use simple modeling environment like

Flipbook. Can interact with complex molecular model like

Molecular Workbench. Can create more complex model in NetLogo,

Scratch, or another familiar environment.
