David,

I found your website while preparing for my college course ‘Materials and Processes’. I plan to use the beryllium clip for my class and look forward to viewing subsequent editions. Your format is very engaging utilizing many resouces and ‘grabbing’ the student’s attention with several ‘hooks’. I have used similar techniques to much success in my PowerPoint presentation for adults.

I hope to hear from you and find the rest of your students’ work on this subject.

Rinus:

One thing I tell my students is to think of a thimble or a marble being placed at the center of a soccer field. The first electron would be the size of a pinhead and would stay beyond the nets at the goal lines.

Hi,

Love your PPT.
Can you show me anything on giving my students (13-14 yrs) an image/idea on the emptiness of the atom?

Kind regards,

I am interested in obtaining any information relative to the Silver Dollar Mine.
I was told it had an employment of approximately 75 miners and the mine properties still exist, but I’m more interested in what production was when it was in operation.

Nice work on beryllium production! You might consider a series on the rare earths, as they combine the glamor of ultra-high tech applications with interesting geopolitical facts (I’ve heard the Mountain Pass, CA mine will reopen soon: maybe they’d fund it? Apparently they have similar environmental issues, namely uranium & thorium byproducts that have to be dealt with before mining recommences……)
