FRIDAY

Analyze Learners

There are 21 students in the class, all of which are either 11th or 12th graders. They all come from homes in the lower or middle classes. Most were born and raised in the Appalachian culture, although I have one foreign exchange student from Germany. All have had a previous introductory level chemistry course. Most are hands-on learners, although a few prefer to learn and prove through mathematics as much as they can. They understand and apply concepts well through student-led practice.

State Objectives

Students will calculate the unknown concentration of the compound used in lab. Students will describe what was done in lab in their own words. Students will solve similar problems with different starting information.
