A site that I've found this week is one that's got lots of games on it that can connect to a few different subjects. However, I am going to focus on one to do with the Periodic Table of Elements. It's called "Proton Don". In this game, students are brought to a Periodic Table of Elements. The computer asks them to click on a certain element and each time they get it right, they will keep score for them.
This site can be connected to Grade 6 Science in the Unit Chemicals and Reactions. In this unit, the foundational and learning objective is to Investigate the characteristics of elements and to identify the names and symbols of elements.
This site can enhance students' learning because it is an easy tool to use for them to log on and practice beating their personal best score. It will help them to review and become familiar with some elements.
How I would use this website in a classroom would be for the students to complete the activity and get them familiar with some elements then to choose one that they find intriguing and to research about it using student-friendly search-engines.
