Trying to figure out what to do for a unit? Trying to figure out where to go to find material or resources to use? Trying to change and look for activities that can support the NGSS or the science and engineer practices vs.. inquiry? OR Are you a veteran teacher looking for new ways to do things or how to incorporate different technology into a lesson. Then this is for you. This session will help you get some ideas of the resources AACT has to offer. Learn how to use online resources to come up with ideas for lessons as well as create one whole unit on a topic or some activities and labs one can do to liven up a lesson. This session will show many different facets of how to create a unit by showing multimedia - both video and simulations, demonstrations, labs, activities and many other ideas including an engineering design project. All activities and multimedia ideas that will be shown could be used in a general / regular level chemistry classroom to AP chemistry just by scaffolding the questions. Labs and topics are implemented by inquiry activities that are safe, simple, easy to use, material conserving, time efficient, and effective. Safety and differentiation are built in. This can teach core content while fostering problem solving, creativity, and invention. Students design original experiments not possible with traditional methods. Labs discussed in the session will show how students use the results to help build devices as a part of the engineering design aspect of the NGSS.
