Chemistry Honors Lab: Electron Configuration Battleship

Lab: Electron Configuration Battleship

This "lab" was a game of Battleship but instead of placing your ships on a grid, you place them on the periodic table and instead of calling coordinates for your opponent to find, you would call out the elements using electron configuration notation.  The biggest struggle I encountered while playing was accurately communicating with my opponent.  The game's purpose was to practice using this newly learned skill, but it was still annoying at times.  I learned, through this game, that in chemistry, there are many different ways to communicate similar things.  Some methods might share more insight on specific details on certain topics, but these ways all can signify a certain element.
