DESCRIPTION
Prerequisites:
It is required that the student knows the basic knowledge of chemistry.
Does not require special additional software for functioning.
Contents:
This site puts more emphasis on the origin and historical evolution of the periodic table than in the presentation of data and properties of the elements.
We find here a historical overview of the classification of the elements, a collection of periodic tables built with various classification criteria, periodic tables in several languages and some interactive activities with elements.
Aims:
- Develop and facilitate ICT-based learning activities in the context of teaching chemistry.
- Develop an appreciation of how science has contributed to the historical and cultural development of our society.
Use in classroom:
The educational materials are designed for classroom use in:
4º ESO / Physics and Chemistry
1º Bachillerato / Physics and Chemistry
2º Bachillerato / Chemistry
We can use these resources by building activities, in which students try to build different models of periodic tables in cooperative learning activities. For example, they can build a 3D periodic table and look for classification criterias. In another activities they can research when the elements were discovered, making an elements timeline or look for the name of the discoverers of the elements through history.
COMMENTS
Points of strength:
- Plenty of contents about historical development of periodic table of elements and classification criterias.
Points of weakness:
- Not enough interactive activities.
- The website is not updated with last discoveries.
- It has some incomplete sections (spanish discoverers)
Scientific reliability:
Good
Pedagogic value:
Only for historical context of periodic table and ways to built it.
