WHAT AM I DOING TO HELP KIDS ACHIEVE?
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE THERE?
WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?
Starting a new year and I have a week to get across the idea of moles to my academic kids. We did "Mole Day" so they have some idea of what a mole is. I do not want to repeat or re do what they may already know. I have decided to start with a formative assessment activity. I am going to provide a POD about moles and then start a "Chain" note. Each student will have to write down something about moles but they cannot repeat what someone else has said and they have to sign their name to it. I will take a quick glance at this and determine if we should do a "count by weighing activity" with MM's or do something a bit more challenging which is the POGIL activity. Hopefully, the formative assessment will help me "diagnose" where they are at and the next steps. The end result is that I want them to be able to convert mass, to moles to molecules and understand moles helps us to count small things by weighing them.
