1. MONDAY
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 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
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.

2. They must correctly identify its category (acid or base) and their answer must not have been tweeted by
another student from their class.
