Calculating pH - Cooperative learning activity
polarity24polarity24

Calculating pH - Cooperative learning activity

(0)
A 20 minute group work activity on calculating pH. Split class into 4 groups, each group containing all levels of ability (so that the brighter students can help the lower ability.) Each group given one of 4 questions to solve. Teacher circulates giving hints where needed. Once each group has solved their question (allow 5-10 mins). students then return to their original seat and have to teach the solution to their question to their colleague. A great way to encourage group work and has always been graded as an outstanding lesson when observed by leadership. Answers are included and a 5th question included at the end of the activity to illustrate progress.

Our evolving atmosphere
polarity24polarity24

Our evolving atmosphere

(0)
A bundle of resources on the atmosphere. A rank the definition activity encourages class discussion on how to define the atmosphere. Also included, a group relay activity where students in their groups have to answer questions on how the Earth's atmosphere has changed from the past till present. Students answer each question in turn and can only have a go at the next question once the teacher has confirmed their answer is correct. The group quickest to complete the questions are the winners. Students love these relay activities, it encourages competition and team work and typically takes 10 mins to complete.
