Element Advertisements
On February - 22 - 2010
Students in Ms. Mitchell’s physical science classes partnered up (collaboration) to create advertisements on various elements on the periodic table. Their task was to sell the element using persuasive techniques while providing factual scientific information on the element.
The groups of two had the freedom to choose either a radio or television advertisement. This lesson stressed to the students the difference between the two forms of advertising and allowed students to see the importance of audio and visual choices when creating these products. This student example was completed using iMovie combining both audio and visual components to sell the element, Helium.
