Welcome to Chemistry GT Administrivia Teacher: Ms. Ose Room: 203
Common Core Connection Objective: Today I will be able to: Construct a PRIDE pact Understand the expectations and requirements for the Chemistry GT class. Explore the interactions between milk and food coloring when detergent is added. Review the scientific method by completing the milk lab Informal Assessment: monitoring students questions and interactions during class Formal Assessment: analyzing student responses to the exit ticket and milk lab Common Core Connection Value evidence Reason abstractly and quantitatively
Lesson Sequence Evaluate: Warm – Up - PRIDE Pact Explain: Administrivia Elaborate: Finish Milk Lab Questions Evaluate: Exit Ticket
Warm – Up: PRIDE Pact Thinking about the lab from yesterday travel around the room and respond to the questions on the poster paper. You have 5 minutes to complete the activity Respect one another, not talking when others talk, coming to class prepared, collaboration – active roles in the lab, lab behavior. How should we treat each other when working in groups? * Not enough to say members will respect each other… need to say how by keeping hands to yourself, etc.
Questions to Discuss: How could technology be used appropriately during this activity? What was it like to work together? How did you resolve any issues? Did you feel safe during the activity? What kind of support do you want from your teacher? What kind of support do you want from your lab mates? How could this lab be improved
