Reviews

By: Suzie Gardner

- How did you use this material?
This activity could be used during a Chemistry class where the students are learning about the Periodic Table.

- Did you augment the material?
I would provide my students with a list of elements they may choose from, which would hopefully eliminate the possibility of students choosing elements with small amounts of information.

- In which courses or programs did you use the material?
This would be used in a Chemistry 1 class.

- Clarity
There is enough clarity for the activity, but more information could be added to the main page (before going to the actual activity page). This way users would have a better idea of the material covered.

- Consistency
Yes

- Content Errors
N/A

- Interface
N/A

- Exemplary Features
The idea itself is good because it gives students a chance to create a poster while learning about the elements.

- How would you recommend using this material?
I would use this material as an activity after providing direct instruction on the Periodic Table and its characteristics.

- What knowledge and skills do you need?
Students would need to understand what trends exist and they would need to know a little about the possible characteristics they are looking for, such as phase, density, color, etc.

- Is the material appropriate?
Yes

- Did using the material lead to successful or identifiable outcomes?
N/A
