Review for:Molecule of the MonthIf you used this resource in your own classroom, please add your review. posted: on February 23, 2007 at 3:56PM
My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: Forensic Science
Topic I was teaching: We were discussing poisoning deaths and I thought it would be interesting to find information about some commonly known toxins
My learning goal for which this resource was used: To show the chemical structure, uses and sources of some common poisons
Course Level: Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: We used this as a source of information about toxins
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Increases modeling skills, Increases access to scientists, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: Good site to show structures of molecules as well as the history behind that particular molecule
Weaknesses: The website has molecules posted for every month since January 1996. It has them listed in table form, but there are so many molecules, that it can be overwhelming to find one!
