Instructional Ideas
  • Use the video to summarize concepts such as isotopes, molar mass, atomic structure, etc.
Classroom Considerations
  • Pupils should already be familiar with isotopes (not an introductory video), as well as how to read a mass spectrum diagram
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • Video explains concepts in a clear manner
  • Video reviews the definition of an isotope before diving into related concepts
Cons
  • Video is blurry at times
