Periodic
Table of Elements Website
For my classes that will study the
periodic table of elements, the Ptable website displays and interactive table
of elements. I feel that this would be a great tool to project on the wall
during class time. I table show many of the properties and provides a visual
for the vocabulary that will be learned during the lesson. For example, it
would be nice to provide an out of class assignment when the students will be
required to use the interactive table to answer questions dealing with atomic
weight, number of electrons, melting/boiling point and isotopes.
Energy
and the Four States of Matter – Video
States of Matter - Energy and the Four States of
Matter. (n.d.). Retrieved June 15,

This three and a half minute video is
about the four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. This would be
a great audio to show to the class as an introduction to the lesson. I would
like to hand out a work sheet that the students could answer by watching the
video. After the video is over I would incorporate a class discussion about the
handout, letting the students answer any questions that other students missed.
I believe this introductory lesson would be a great hook. The video could also
serve as an activation of prior knowledge when they are reading the text.
