Year 8s have started their unit on the molecular structure of atoms and the periodic table. They worked in groups and created an audition tape for a survivor island themed television program. They had to audition as an element from the periodic table and discuss why their properties made them a worthy choice for being on the island. For example, the Tungsten contestant explained in their video that because of their high melting point of 3422oC, they could handle the heat of being on the island.
