My rating of this resource: ***
My experience using this resource: Chemistry
Topic I was teaching: Atoms
My learning goal for which this resource was used: Have students understand how the elements are the building blocks of matter.
Course Level: Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: I showed parts of it in class. The students then had the opportunity to ask questions.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation
Strengths: The visuals are excellent for a topic which is normally described, but difficult to SEE.
Weaknesses: It was great! The students loved it, and still now we sometimes refer to some of the visuals. I didn't show the entire 55 minutes. I have used fragments of about 15 minutes at a time. Sometimes I've used even small fragments of 2 minutes to help students remember some of the things we discussed earlier in the year.
