Instructional Ideas
- Create additional practice problems counting atoms before going on to part two
- Use molecular models for hands-on learners
Classroom Considerations
- Video offers a few practice problems but glosses over how they were solved, so pause the video and explain each individually
- Video is the fourth in a 29-part series.
Pros
- Alerts you when to pause the video to allow time to solve the sample problems
- Draws out each molecule discussed to enhance understanding for visual learners
Cons
- None
