A variety of resources were used when unpacking this learning outcome to my first year class. From my teaching placement, I have learned about the importance of using a wide-range of resources. This allows for a differentiated classroom as videos may appeal to some learners, while worksheets are favoured by other learners. I have learned about the importance of including every learner, so when planning my lessons, I try my best to have a balance between videos, writing tasks, demonstrations, and discussions.

This is a sample of the homework that I assigned students. Students got the opportunity to be creative when asked to do this homework activity. Students also got the chance to look at the periodic table in greater detail and they are familiar with the elements and chemical symbols that are in their name.

This peer reviewed paper discusses how the use of particle models help students visualise atoms, elements, compounds, and mixtures. Particle models can also be used to help students differentiate between solids, liquids, and gases. When I taught this in the classroom, students found it easier to understand what an atom, an elements, and a compound was when I showed them the particle theory models.
