This is a companion assessment for the Element Pronunciation Sheet, for those who would like to use it. To check if students can correctly pronounce the chemical element names, I approach each as they are working quietly on another part of our element test, show them a horizontal row (which contains an easy, medium, and difficult to pronounce name), then have them read them across. I drop down a row for the next student, so it is chance which names they get.
None of this ends up counting too many points, but having students learn the correct pronunciation seems to help them build proficiency and confidence in all aspects of the course.

My experience includes 28 years teaching secondary science in public and private high schools, including work with severely emotionally disturbed adolescents in a hospital setting, affluent students in a private school setting, homeschool students, and most recently public school students. Of the last 12 years, I've taught two years in a very large affluent suburban high school with privileged students, but most recently my passion has been to work with a large low income minority population in the outskirts of Atlanta. Most recently I have taught Chemistry and AP Chemistry, with some Physics and Physical Science. Through the years I have also taught Earth Science, Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Genetics, and Microbiology. I have also served as Science Division Chair at our high school, and served on a number of curriculum and test writing teams on a local and state level.
