Explore a sample of student choice in a Science Classroom. You, a student, are about to finish your Introductory Chemistry Unit. As you scroll, think about the following questions:
- What are some aspects of the adventure that you found engaging?
- What are some additions you would like to see added to the adventure?
- What are some challenges you imagine facing if implementing a similar product?
Choose Your Own Adventure!
For the final portion of the Chemistry Unit, you have the choice to learn about three different topics. These topics range from increasing your knowledge of the periodic table to High School level advanced chemistry topics. Each choice will bring you on an adventure where you will guide how much you want to delve into each topic. Embark on quests, earn experience, defeat bosses, and learn of the beauty and splendor of the atomic world.
- First, view the Introduction to Adventure.
- The Introduction contains important information regarding due dates, experience, grades, and opportunities to go above and beyond.
- Next, look at the descriptions of the THREE adventures below. Based on the descriptions and recommendations, choose which topic sounds most appealing to you.
- Lastly, complete the survey at the bottom of the page to begin your first Chemistry Adventure!
Choose Wisely!
Option 1:
Elements and Periodic Table Organization
Discover the wealth of diversity present in the chemical elements of the earth! What do they have in common with another? What makes elements rare? How can we use elements for everyday, useful applications?
Difficulty: EASY
Recommended skills: Reading, drawing, creativity
Option 2:
How can elements come together to build the molecules we see and use everyday? Why do some elements bond with two atoms of an element (CaCl2) and others bond with three (AlBr3)? Learn to puzzle out the way molecules are created.
Difficulty: MEDIUM
Recommended skills: Basic math, memorization, logic, spatial visualization
Option 3:
What type of advanced work do chemists in high school, college, and beyond complete? How can I use math to predict quantities of chemicals made during a reaction? Challenge yourself to learn advanced topics and truly gain the predictive power of chemistry knowledge.
Difficulty: CHALLENGING
Recommended skills: Advanced math, scientific/graphing calculator use, balancing equations
