Today we played a very fun game called Electron Configuration Battleship. It allowed us to use our new knowledge of electron orbitals and the set-up of the periodic table to play the classic game of Battleship. It was actually very fun, though it did take a long time to name my targets because of the long list of orbitals that I had to recite. Here's my ship set-up!
It was quite the evil placement of my tiny ship, I know.
Though it was challenging to have to list off all the orbitals every time I wanted to name a target, it definitely brought the concept home for me of how the periodic table is oriented. All the repetition of orbitals made me sure I won't forget them again!
And just for the record, I totally beat Jason.
