THURSDAY

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 complete a titration lab by following their lab handout, using appropriate lab apparatus, referring to a poster of titration setup with 95% accuracy by the end of the day. Students will perform, record, and narrate the reaching of their endpoint of the titration with 100% accuracy by the end of the day.

Select Methods, Media, and Materials

Students will use a poster to set up their titrations. Students will follow lab instructions with procedures/safety sections that were written by them as part of their WebQuest. Students will record their endpoint and narrate what is chemically and/or procedurally happening.

Utilize Media and Materials

Apparatus poster, lab handout, lab equipment, and video camera

Require Learner Participation

Students will do and record their lab. This is the basis of their grade.

Evaluate

Students will be formally assessed from their video; their execution and following of directions as well as the accuracy of the narration in the video.
