The unit is meant to be used as a student handout with the articles, worksheets, project descriptions, and rubrics to be photocopied for each student. Read through the articles together as a class and have students answer the corresponding worksheet. (Each article and worksheet should take around one 40 minute period). Take up the worksheet on the following day before starting the next article.
The experiment observation and conclusion sheets can be collected and marked as a lab. There are three experiments which would result in three separate marks.
The project is meant to be completed in class under the supervision of the teacher. Students can work independently or in groups/pairs.
The test is to be given as a final summative assessment for the unit to evaluate what students have learned overall.
