MONDAY Analyze Learners There are 21 students in the class, all of which are either 11 th or 12 th 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 recall strong and weak acids and bases and how they dissociate. Students will solve ICE charts given only the dissociated substance involved by reviewing previous notes, watching a short introductory video, and practicing on their own with 80% accuracy by the end of the day. Select Methods, Media, and Materials Students will review acid and base strength through discussion questions, led by the instructor. The instructor will then use the white board to review equilibrium constants. Students will watch a YouTube video introducing acids and bases. The instructor will then use the whiteboard to lecture about Ka, Kb, and to teach ICE charts. Students will use the periodic table (for mass/mole calculations) from scanning a provided QR code. Students will have a homework assignment to tweet me an acid or a base. Each student must tweet a different answer than anyone else. Students will listen to a podcast posted for them as homework. Utilize Media and Materials Youtube video ; whiteboard; QR code; twitter; podcast Require Learner Participation Students will discuss for the review part of the lesson. Students will watch a video. Students will do their own practice problems to fully learn the methods of solving for equilibrium constants and/or concentration. Students will be assessed informally on Tuesday via morning discussion about pH based on the information provided in the podcast. Evaluate

Require Learner ParticipationStudents will discuss for the review part of the lesson. Students will watch a video. Students will do their own practice problems to fully learn the methods of solving for equilibrium constants and/or concentration. Students will be assessed informally on Tuesday via morning discussion about pH based on the information provided in the podcast.
Evaluate Students will be assessed informally on Tuesday via morning discussion about pH based on the information provided in the podcast. They will also be evaluated by the tweeting of their acid or base. They must correctly identify its category (acid or base) and their answer must not have been tweeted by another student from their class.
