The seventh graders just finished their digital story for chemistry. Working in groups, they all identified an element that they wanted to work on and created a presentation on it to inform other that was infused with script writing and story telling elements they’ve been working on in language arts class.
Below is a sample from Giao and Lee Yang but I encourage all parents to visit the grade 7 blogroll to find your child and encourage them to tell you about their stories. Some questions that you could ask your child to help guide the process:
- What are valance electrons and how many can an atom have?
- What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding?
- How is the periodic table of elements organized?
