SBG Hacks: Choose Your Own Adventure Quiz

I am sharing a hack I use in my standards based grading (SBG) classroom to help things run more smoothly.

Increasing Access to Stoichiometry Through Differentiated In-Class Practice
Tracy.Schloemer | Tue, 07/04/2017 - 10:24
In a recent post, I shared sample quiz questions as to how I have differentiated assessment within the mole unit. Here, I share a specific multi-day sequence within the stoichiometry unit. I have written extensively about the project that drives this unit (within the following blog posts: Why consider trying project based learning?, Backwards planning your PBL unit - An Overview of an Entire Unit and What ARE my students actually learning during this long term project (PBL)?), but very little about specific learning tasks. Below is a two day sequence of stoichiometry practice that I set up in my classroom. Stations are set up around the room and students rotate as necessary.
Titration of an Esterification Reaction to Determine Equilibrium Constant
Lowell Thomson | Wed, 09/21/2016 - 08:44
This activity was submitted for a 2016 ChemEd X Call for Contributions soliciting input regarding the big ideas being put forth by organizations like AP. The author shares a lab activity that relies on connections - between stoichiometry, esterification, equilibrium, kinetics, titrations and uncertainty of calculations. He also shares the resources he created.
Doc Saves Everyone – Applying BCA Tables to Titration Calculations
Dena Leggett | Thu, 05/19/2016 - 12:01
I recently stumbled across a blog about the use of BCA (Before Change After) tables for stoichiometry written by Lowell Thomson. I was thrilled to discover ChemEd Xchange! I wanted to share my journey, spurred on by my s
Stoichiometry Guided Instructional Activities with Guide Framework
DAVID LICATA | Sat, 11/08/2014 - 21:40
This set of three worksheets are intended to be used as collaborative "Guided Instructional Activities" (GIAs). Two students cooperate to complete the steps of a stoichiometry problem, alternately doing parts of the process as they explain what they are doing and evaluate their partner's work.
Mass of a Reaction Product
DAVID LICATA | Wed, 10/29/2014 - 21:41
Students combine sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid generating carbon dioxide gas which is allowed to escape. They measure the actual yield of carbon dioxide produced (missing mass), calculate the theoretical yield using stoichiometry, and then the percent yield. Students understand that 100% yield is the most appropriate answer (based on the Law of Conservation of Mass), so after considering the meaning of significant figures and the uncertainty of their measurements they are asked to decide if they did (or did not) get an answer that might indicate the validity of the Law.
