Unit Cell Ranking Tasks
Category
Published on
Abstract
This set of ranking tasks is designed to help the learner work with and understand some of the features of common structures: planar densities, atomic densities, atomic packing factor and coordination numbers of different planes and unit cells. There are four pages-- be sure to click on "Additional Materials" or the "Supporting Docs" tab to find them all.
I'd love to hear from you if you use this material in class! I have many more materials science teaching materials that I can share if there is interest. You can contact me through nanoHUB, or by sending email to tfaltens@purdue.edu
