Math in Chemistry
Overview
Students will use scientific notation and metric conversions to complete the following labs and activities.
Standards
11-12.LST.1.1: Read and comprehend science and technical texts within a range of complexity appropriate for grades 11-CCR independently and proficiently by the end of grade 12.
11-12.LST.3.1: Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 11-12 texts and topics.
11-12.LST.4.1: Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem.
Learning Objectives
Students will learn the power of ten by putting everyday objects from smallest to largest using powers of ten.
Materials
12 sets of power of 10 pictures, Number Line/Card Sort Activity
Procedure
3min | Get started/Drill/Do Now: (What meaningful activity will students complete as soon as they enter the classroom?) BW- Convert ordinarily notation to scientific notation. | Collect 5 pts |
7 min | Engage/Motivation: (How will student interest be sparked? Is there prior knowledge that should be tapped? Is there vocabulary that must be cleared? Is there brainstorming that student need to complete before the lesson begins?) Video: Blendspace, Nano Scale Lesson, Tile 1, The Scale of the Universe 2 http://htwins.net/scale2/ |
|
10 min | Whole Group Instruction: (Focus lessons [explicit teaching/modeling, strategy demonstration, activate prior knowledge], shared reading, shared writing, discussion, writing process.)Discussion of video. Small and Large. Student Reading: Visualizing the Nanoscale( Resource Google drive-Nano 2016-Lesson 2, File Name: Visualizing the Nanoscale Student Reading) | Close reading |
10 min | Group Practice/Small Group Instruction: (teacher-facilitated group discussion, student or teacher-led collaboration, student conferencing, re-teaching or intervention, writing process) Number Line/Card Sort Activity- (Resource Google drive-Nano 2016-Lesson 2, File Name: Number Line Card Sort Activity….) |
|
5 min | Independent Practice: (individual practice, discussion, writing process.) Scale of Objects Activity Worksheet ( Resource Google drive-Nano 2016-Lesson 2 ,File Name: SMLesson2student) | Next Day collect WS |
3min | Evaluate Understanding/Assessment: (How will I know if students have achieved today’s objective?) Exit Quiz: The Power of Ten | 10 pts quiz |
2min | Closing Activities/Summary: (How will I tie up loose ends, reinforce/revisit the objective and connect the lesson to the unit?) Review answers to quiz |
|
| Enrichment/Extension/Re-teaching/Accommodations: (How will my lesson satisfy the needs of all learners?) Video: Blendspace, Nano Scale Lessons, Tile 13, Power of 10 |
