How The Learning Outcomes Meet The Needs Of Individual Students?

What were the learning outcomes for the lesson? How did the learning outcomes meet the needs of individual students?
The learning targets were met; therefore the following was the outcome:
The students created a macroscopic, three-dimensional (3D) model of several properties of the periodic table. They explained in their own words the following terms: atomic radii, ionic radii, first ionization energy, and electronegativity. Lastly, they identified, described, and explained the patterns observed in the 3D periodic tables for the following element properties: atomic radii, ionic radii, first ionization energy, and electronegativity.

The 3D models created a bridge from the abstract to the concrete. Ionization energy is difficult topic to for students to analyze and to “visualize.” The 3D model for ionization energy enabled the student to use visuals to identify which elements in the periodic table require the largest amount of energy to remove valence electrons. The 3D visual enabled them to notice the general periodic trends about each of the characteristics. In addition, students with limited language proficiency were able to relate the size of straws to the properties under investigation—these students determined that larger straws indicate larger ionization energy relative to other straws that represented different element ionization energies.
