The Periodic Table contains elements that are found in nature and can be categorized into three categories: metals, non- metals, and metalloids.

CK-12: The Periodic Table

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-04 21:51:32 UTC

CK-12 is an Open Educational Resource (OER) that educators can utilize to provide high- quality instruction to their students. CK-12 provides access to readings, videos, simulations, and study guides.

Mendeleev & the Periodic Table

PhET has several simulations that students and educators can access! This simulation allows users to build an atom from elements on the Periodic Table.

The Interactive Table

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-04 22:46:08 UTC

Here, you can access an interactive Periodic Table. The interactive table is immersed with color and images that provide learners with examples of where the elements can be found within us and the items that we use daily.

Reading the Periodic Table

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-04 23:06:59 UTC

Oxygen! It's the most abundant element in the world, yet it comes in second when describing Earth's atmospheric composition. This image teachers learners how to identify elements on the Periodic Table.

Subatomic Particles (Parts of an Atom)

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-04 23:16:08 UTC

Elements are composed of atoms; atoms are made up of subatomic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons.

Tinkercad

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-04 23:31:03 UTC

Makerspaces are great tools that students can use to develop models of atoms and molecules, while using letters or shapes. Tinkercad is completely free; the projects can be 3D printed!

Quizizz

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-06 13:48:21 UTC

Quizizz is an excellent tools that educators can use to monitor student learning. Students can also be tasked with developing assessments on the topic of current study.

EdPuzzle

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-06 13:49:59 UTC

Edpuzzle gives educators the opportunity to locate, upload and modify video content and embed different types of questions to increase engagement and assess student understanding.

Legends of Learning

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-07 00:52:43 UTC

Should games be allowed in education? Yes, gamification works! With Legends of Learning, educators can assign students standards- based games for review or to introduce a particular topic in Math or Science.

Did You Know?

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-07 01:37:17 UTC

Properties of elements always matter! Mercury was formerly known as hydrargyrum, in Latin, and translates to "liquid silver." It is liquid at room temperature; the chemical symbol (Hg) is adopted from its previous name.

Valence Electrons

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-07 02:23:09 UTC

What are valence electrons? Where are they located? Why are they important for bonding?

Gizmos: Molecule Builder

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-07 13:05:08 UTC

Students can develop 3-D models of molecules using Gizmos (worksheet included)! It's important that students understand how atoms can bond to each other to form simple molecules and their known structures.

STEMscopes

mmckinneyschool — 2024-02-07 15:13:43 UTC

STEMscopes is an amazing resource that should be in each STEM educator's toolkit! STEMscopes provides activities and resources that are aligned to state standards and follow the 5E Model of Instruction.
