The CrashCourse series on Youtube is suitable for students of all ages. It is designed to be able to be watched without too much prior knowledge. The host of the show is Hank Green, who is an incredibly engaging speaker who is humorous while still being able to get the knowledge across to the audience. The cartoons in the video also serve to provide another layer to engage students. The interactive periodic table is engaging to students as students are able to click on the elements and view a picture as well as various physical properties of the element. This allows students to better contextualise their knowledge of the elements and relate it to their daily lives.
Activity: Students will be asked to watch the youtube video at home as a flipped classroom activity and fill out a cloze passage based on the video. Students will then be asked to view the second website and create a crossword using the puzzle maker linked with at least 8 elements, using their properties as clues for the crossword. In class, students will switch crosswords with another student and using the two websites complete the crossword.
