Understanding
the Elements of the Periodic Table using R.A.F.T. teaching strategy
Introduction:
Why do we need the periodic table of elements? Is it really that important?
What all does it inform us about? What is its history? When was it developed? Hi!
I am your biggest fan! I love to listen to your music, and I think that you
could help me with these questions!!! There are so many questions about the
periodic table that I just don’t know.
Since you are such a good lyrist, could you do me a favor? Could you
write a song to inform me of some of the interesting facts about the periodic
table of the elements? I seem to always
forget the trends and the meaning of all those numbers and letters! Could you please help me?!?
Directions: Your
assignment is to help out your biggest fan.
You need to write a song providing the following minimum
information. You are NOT limited to
these suggestions! Be creative! Once you
have written your lyrics you will need to prepare a song/jingle and have two
options: 1) perform it to the class or 2) prepare it on a CD for the class to
listen to.
Requirements:
1) There
must be at least 8 different elements from the periodic table (see instructor
for approval).
2) What is the name of the element? The symbol?
3) What
do the numbers mean?
4) Who
found the element?
5) Where
was it found?
6) When
was it found?
7) What
are some of the trends on the periodic table?
8) You
will turn in the below outline before presentation/performance.
9) HAVE
FUN!!! BE CREATIVE!!!
