Instructional Ideas

• Assign the resource to Google Classroom or through CK-12 in order to keep track of individual progress
• Use during a science lesson on electrons or during a math lesson on positive and negative integers

Classroom Considerations

• Requires that all users have a free CK-12 account
• Users should have some experience with atom vocabulary such as nucleus, proton, electron, and atom

Pros

• Combines physical science and pre-algebra concepts to demonstrate the adding of electrons
• The extension link provides additional instruction and practice to expand on the topic further

Cons

• None
