Physical Science Learning from H5N1 to Z

Last month, I saw a tweet past times Kimberly Blodgett too told myself I needed to recollect it for the concluding yoke of weeks of school.

We're immediately inward our concluding calendar week of school, too it's been difficult to keep regular classroom teaching. Yesterday, nosotros missed business office of the solar daytime for the Box Social. Friday, nosotros volition missy the entire afternoon for the Awards Assembly.

Last year, I had my students produce an Alphabetical Advice activity that I blogged nearly here too here.

This year, I decided to edit that file too plough it into a "Learning from H5N1 to Z" activity.

Here's what they ended upwardly looking like:

I pioneered this novel activity amongst my physical scientific discipline class. They had to come upwardly up amongst 26 dissimilar things nosotros had learned this twelvemonth that started amongst each alphabetic quality of the alphabet.

They struggled amongst a few letters of the alphabet until they realized that the Periodic Table could last their friend amongst this activity.

It was interesting to eavesdrop on their conversations equally they brainstormed dissimilar ideas to consummate the activity.

Curiosity got the best of me, too I decided to type upwardly all of their responses. If you're curious, too, cash inward one's chips along reading!

due east - Estimating Length, Estimating Time, Electron Dot Diagrams, Electrons, Energy, Elements

F - Formula, Flask, Force

G - Giant Burgers, Grams, Gravity

H - Hydrocarbons, Halogens, How to Read the Periodic Table, Height

I - Ionic Compounds

J - Joules

K - Kilogram, Kilometers, Kinetic Energy, Krypton

Y - Yield, Yttrium

Z - Zirconium

Now, I await forrad to doing this amongst my algebra classes next!
