Activity 8: Exploration of Chemistry

1. Choose any Teaching Idea from any of the Chemistry Simulations (http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/chemistry ) and post your results/data and/or answers on your blog.


2. Work with any of the Chemistry Simulations to create your own Teaching Idea. The criteria for this is as follows:
a. must identify and meet three (3) science education standards - 
A.4.3 When investigating a science-related problem, decide what data can be collected to determine the most useful explanations
C.4.2 Use the science content being learned to ask questions, plan investigations, make observations, make predictions, and offer explanations
C.4.5 Use data they have collected to develop explanations and answer questions generated by investigations
C.4.6 Communicate the results of their investigations in ways their audiences will understand by using charts, graphs, drawings, written descriptions, and various other means, to display their answers
D.4.1 Understand that objects are made of more than one substance, by observing, describing and measuring the properties of earth materials, including properties of size, weight, shape, color, temperature, and the ability to react with other substances
b. must be original work - worksheet was made only by looking at the simulation
c. must be scientifically accurate and appropriate for the directed grade level - simulation proves it is accurate, and the fact that the worksheet meets 4th grade science education standards, I am sure it is appropriate for 4th graders
Stimulation I chose to use - "Build a Molecule"
WORKSHEET TO BE COMPLETED
