Which elements are named after Norse gods? What country gives gallium its name? Is there an element that is literally named because it stinks?! Learn the answers to these questions and more! Note that I do offer a Part 2 for this class that covers even more elements! This 50 minute live class will explore the origins of the names of some of the elements of the periodic table. Many of the element names can be traced back to mythology, names of scientists, their properties, minerals, or geographic locations, and we will discuss examples of all of these in class. Class will be a mixture of instructor lecture and class input followed by a review of what we've learned to reinforce learning. If there is time at the end of class, there will be an optional activity where students can create their own name and symbol for a fictional element- otherwise, students can do it on their own after class and post their answers in the classroom to share with others! No homework will be assigned in this class.
Other Details
Supply List
A pdf file of a create-your-own-element activity as well as an end-of-class quiz will be provided after class. I will also post links for further exploration of the topic after class, along with follow-up resources to answer any questions that come up in class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Pennsylvania Teaching Certificate in Science
I am a certified chemistry teacher (grades 7-12) with almost two decades of teaching experience. I have 7 years of experience in the high school classroom and almost two years of experience teaching online through Outschool. I have also done private tutoring at the high school and college level, taught freshman college chemistry recitations and labs, and worked in various science outreach settings including museums, middle school after school science programs, and science summer camps. From these experiences, I have worked with a lot of different types of learners at various stages of interest, ability, and motivation- from preschoolers wide-eyed at everything in science to high school students simply taking the class as a requirement to college freshmen chemistry majors passionate about the course with never ending questions. I can tailor my teaching style to fit the learner, and I do what I can to make it approachable by anyone.Reviews
