Case 9: Acid/Base flashcard game

Case 9: Collaboration


Task:     Learn common acid & base products around the home & their pH level. 

Example:   I made laminated, named cards of common acids & bases.

Action:     I developed a game using flash cards of products around the home.
                 From their existing knowledge. they took turns putting them up on the board. In
               strength order of the acid- (pH 2) all the way through to Base (pH 14) They could
                help each other and I would ask leading questions so they could order them
                themselves. 14 flash cards for 14 pH levels.   
               
Result:    Yes this was good involvement exercise. A bit of competition was involved.
                This game/activity were also used by two other teachers.
