Atoms and Elements Quest: Bring Order to the Elements
Your students have been requested by Dmitri Mendeleev to put together a table to organize the known elements within the game world of Aureus Imperium. They will investigate the physical and chemical properties of several elements, leaving gaps for unknown, "undiscovered" elements. While they build the table, they understand periodic law and why the periodic table of elements is structured in its original and new way. This concept is a fundamental aspect of chemistry that is used to this day. Yo

Teaching style
For the last seven years I have created and implemented a Game-Based design approach to 8th grade general science. In addition to this, I have utilized Universal Design protocols and have incorporated aspects of the Flipped Classroom as well. My approach to education focuses on kinesthetic learners with project-based approaches. Underlying PBIS initiatives have been employed in my classroom as a companion to my teaching style.
