LAB ACTIVITY: ATOMIC STRUCTURE

Created by

This lab is a fun and easy way to demonstrate a few concepts concerning atomic structure namely the modern view of the atom (simplified) and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. the students will need only the provided target diagram and a pen, though they may go through several pens. I used the cheap pens with the fine points. You can use cheap markers just make sure you have enough of them as the tips tend to break. Use fine tip markers this reduces the amount of splatter that can occur. Th

Here is a diagnostic tool that i used to let me know where my students stood with the skill of measurement. They would get this same assessment at the beginning and end of my measurement unit. I also throw some of the problems at them as warmups during the unit to determine if they mastered that skill or not. If you need an answer key one will be provided to you when you purchase.

Experience

I have been teaching in the public school system for over 16 years. Running a successful tutoring service for over 25 years. College teaching for 5 years.

Teaching style

I am very hands on and student driven as an instructor. I believe knowledge is important but what you do with that knowledge is even more important. My students directed their own experiments and activities giving them a greater sense of connectedness with the material and their own education.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Several of my students have placed in the top three of the city science fairs with others going onto placing in the state level. My greatest award would have to be the glowing confidence on the faces of my urban school students especially, who realize that they can do science successfully.

My own education history

I currently have a masters in biology with a BS in marine biology. I have a valid CT teaching Certificate and over 30 hrs of education classes. My wide backgroud in science covers the micro to the macro to the living to the extinct. I am currently working towards my PhD in biology/paleontology.
