INTERACTIVE PERIODIC TABLE
An intercurricular activity ,
crossculicar and with values.
The Reason
2019 marks the 150 anniversary of
the creation of the periodic table by Russian scientist Dmitry Ivanovich
Mendeleev. He tried to organize the 63 chemical elements known in 1859,
according to their properties. Today, we still use it and it allows us to study
and predict the properties of the 90 elements that exist on Earth in a natural
way and the 118 more known that man has been able to produce
The Proposal
Every 1st Batxillerat student
( some of 2nd
Batxillerat too ) had to ellaborate a short video, in English,
giving reliable information about the assigned element. They were asked to be
rigorous in content but original in form.
Videos had to be uploaded on
YouTube, giving a QR code of he link to the project coordinators. With the QR
code we had access to the video from any device.
The result of the project is the
Periodic Table you will see here.
Positive aspects
The initial challenge was to
generate a huge periodic table, but the activity was thought to be an English activity too.
The main goal was to practise vocabulary, research of information, writing and
oral expression.
Technological competence also had an important role in the
project: using smartphones to record images and videos, editing videos, both
images and sound, sharing videos with QR codes ....
Students have also shown their creativity,
to present their elements in the most orginal way. They have collaborated with
other students to act or record and they have shared the final
result, not only with their classmates but also with younger students at
school.
The Result
We have created a WEB SITE with all the project. You can find everything in it. Here you have the link and some pictures of the result
