WEDNESDAY

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 solve buffer problems by reviewing notes and manipulating variables with 80% accuracy by the end of the lecture. Students will research the dangers, processes, and accident protocol for titrations by doing a WebQuest and completing the procedures section of tomorrow’s lab with 100% accuracy by the end of the day.

Select Methods, Media, and Materials

The teacher will lecture about buffers. Students will practice problems individually then in groups. Students will do a WebQuest to prepare for tomorrow’s titration lab. Students will check the class Facebook for the posting of a video of a titration gone right and a titration gone wrong.

Utilize Media and Materials

WebQuest; whiteboard; Facebook

Require Learner Participation

Students will do their own practice problems. Students will do the WebQuest in lab pairs (or lab groups).

Evaluate

Students will be assessed by their compiled works required in the WebQuest.
