Application: When and where can it be used?
This routine was used at the end of the first semester (16/12/13) where the student already learned and applied the different subatomic particles in different situations.

Student's exemplar:
We applied CSI on Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. Here is and exemplar of a student's work

Reflection.- The activity departed from the clarification of what a Color, a Symbol and an Image were, as many students had trouble making the difference between the last two. Most of the explanation were clear and sound, as the one provided on top. In the Image chosen the student could connect easily with the quarks that make up protons and Neutrons, but she couldn't recall that Electrons are made up with leptons. Something I'll need to go back and revisit.
