Resources:

  • Atomic Orbitals -- This site allows you to display the various atomic orbitals (s, p, d, & f), but moreover, allows you to display all of a certain subshell together to see how they overlap to form a sphere of electron probability.
  • PTable.com -- Nathan heard about this interactive periodic table from his professor at Cal State University Northridge.  You can choose to see the orbitals, as well as other data about each element.
  • Flinn's eLearning Site -- Flinn has organized their videos about various teaching ideas and demonstrations into a professional development site.  You can set up an account for free.  There is a cost if you want to get university credit.  There are great ideas here.
  • The Do's and Don'ts of Periodic Trends -- Here is the handout about explaining periodic trends.
  • Ted-Ed Videos -- There are several very nice videos created around lectures by various educators.  How to Speed Up Reactions (and get a Date) is an example.
  • Ben Ku's Web Site -- I only mentioned Mr. Ku about a hundred times during the APSI.  Here is a link to his web site.
  • Large Post-It Notes -- Here is the link to popping.com where those huge post-it type notes were purchased.  They stuck really nicely to the glass.  I have found in my classroom that they don't stick as well to the walls.  They stick nicely to a clean white board, however.
  • PASCO Link -- Here is the link for the three things from PASCO.  If you sign up with them, they will send you a .pdf file of their PASCO-POGIL Lab Manual, a code to get $100 off of an order of $200 or more, and a chance to win 8 wireless temperature probes.
  • Extreme Glow Nightsticks -- Here is the company where I purchased those bright, short-lived light sticks for the kinetics demonstration.  You need to purchase quite a few (100) to get free shipping.  Remember, when they quote a price like $8.50 each, they are talking about a bag of 10 nightsticks.  Keep them in the refrigerator to make them last longer.
