My TILP was created for a 10th grade chemistry classroom. The topic we are covering in the lesson is acids, bases, and the pH scale. An intro activity will be a formative assessment that will allow the teacher to determine the students background knowledge of acids and bases. This activity will be the teacher giving a demonstration that enables to students to observe real life examples of acids and bases such as a lemon and soap. To do a quick assessment the teacher will use plickers, the student will have to vote on what each object is. Plickers being an online assessment tool in which students can use their smart devices to participate in.
The students will continue to explore acids, bases, and the pH scale in multiple labs, one seeing the properties of acids and bases and the other seeing how acids and bases compose the pH scale. A research activity looking up the terms of neutral solution, acid, base and pH scale, will be done using nooks, and a poster will be the product showing the groups work. Each student in the group will have a certain term to investigate in which they must share their findings and collaborate with the group. Before the summative assessment of a quiz, the students will review the unit by playing Kahoot on the nooks (they love Kahoot!).
Sounds like a fun unit! I would suggest maybe using some phet activities to include some more technology, this would also be cheaper than buying supplies for multiple labs.
ReplyDeleteOh yes good point ! Maybe next time I run a lesson like this I will look into Phet
