Review for:Redox simulationsIf you used this resource in your own classroom, please add your review. posted: on December 29, 2006 at 9:59AM
My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: chemistry
Topic I was teaching: Redox-Activity series
My learning goal for which this resource was used: Help students understand the competition for electrons which creates the activity series and to understand what is happening in an oxidation-reduction reaction.
Course Level: Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: I gave out the hand out and we did the activity in class after doing a minilab of finding the order of activity for zinc, lead and copper.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Increases modeling skills, Increases data collection & analysis skills, Provides a virtual lab
Strengths: Students did seem engaged and many seemed to have a better understanding after doing the exercise.
Weaknesses: I used the computer cart and many had difficulty logging on, therefore I needed to have students work in groups even though I think it would have been more valuable to do it individually.
