Ideas for resource creation
Kalzium is an interactive tool for exploring properties of elements and for learning more about compounds and properties. This does not produce an output by itself (like a video, etc) It can be combined to create resources in the following ways:
- Screenshots which can be integrated with text to make slide shows, quizzes, etc
- AV communication by combining with video clips
