Here is a terrific website that links each element on the periodic table to an informative video about that element. The explanations include history, stories, and experiments and would be a perfect compliment to classroom instruction. Provide links via MyBigCampus or Angel/Blackboard to have students view them at home.
Classroom Application: Have students watch specific videos at home before classroom discussion. Incorporate the videos into lessons to demonstrate elements you are unable to show in the classroom.
A Step Further: Ask students to use these videos as a model to create similar explanatory videos on other subjects. As they work to explain what they know in a concise and understandable way they will be engaging in Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, and Creating as defined by Bloom's Taxonomy.
