Dialogue w me @ElkGrove_HS @ChemWest I experiment in my tching practice. This yr I de-emphasized exact precision/measurement, didn’t do unit conversions or sig figs, I tell or show procedure as a means to an end instead of making Ss read or write detailed steps.

Honors chem Ss measured varying masses of CuCl2, add 150 mL of water, mass Al. Very simple procedure. Big Ideas: compare class data, varying concentrations, mole ratios, limiting and excess reagent. BUT! Notice the volume Measurements😬

Ss can still make meaning w/out correct 150 mL. BUT as a chem tchr, perhaps it’s my role to train & assess rigorous, precise, accurate measurement & lab results? After all, Gen Z is our future, someone has to keep AI in check. (PIC: my attempt to show Ss increments of 0.1)

What fun tricks do you have up your sleeve for the days before spring break? Over here I’m offering incentives for putting away phones, modeling reaction rates, playing Charty Party.
