Welp. Today's the day. I spent a large portion of my week off researching and planning for my first project-based learning lesson. My science 10s are two weeks into the chemistry unit: they know how to use the periodic table, how elements combine to form compounds, and how to name those compounds. Today they'll begin exploring chemical reactions through a 3 week long project where they will research a chemical reaction of their choice, design and carry out an experiment, and use the course concepts to guide them. Then they'll communicate all their learning in a science-fair-like expo event at our school. Our driving question is: How do chemicals act and react around us? I'm excited to embark on this new journey, and I'm looking forward to learning at least as much as the kids. I'll do my best to document the experience here. Wish us luck! -KK |
