Instructional Ideas
- Preview the video and script questions to ask learners throughout the video
- Have models of electron configurations set up around the room to use or refer to throughout the video
Classroom Considerations
- Must have a computer, access to the Internet, and video projection system to use the resource
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- Video incorporates the history of electron knowledge, helping learners understand an electron's location, movement, and stability as we know them today
Cons
- Video uses an analogy that compares electron orbitals to music, which learners may find difficult to follow
