My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: Chemistry
Topic I was teaching: Periodic Law
My learning goal for which this resource was used: Learn to graph in Excel.Observe the trends in atomic radius, 1st ionization energy, and electronegativity.
Course Level: Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: Looked up values of atomic radius, 1st ionization energy, and electronegativity for the group 1 elements and the period 3 elements on WebElements. Graphed the trends in those three values by group and by period in Excel.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Increases graphing skills, Increases data collection & analysis skills, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: Quick and easy lab to do. Students actually enjoyed learning how to make graphs in Excel.
Weaknesses: none.
