SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUCTION
|
|
|
|
|
After learning about atoms and their structure, Mr. Clyne and Mr. Achim used their students to make a “Human Periodic Table” as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding of the atomic structure and how that structure relates to each elements position on the periodic table. Students were instructed to organize themselves into the periodic table (without talking) based off the element that they were given and that element’s atomic structure.
