Riddle clues hidden throughout the classroom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I adapted the http:\/\/espace.bsu.edu\/akhouck\/2015\/10\/08\/find-me-a-solution-please\/<\/a> lab from Chemistry II for the Chemistry I students to use as a lab in preparation for the end of unit lab practical exam that some students\u00a0had chosen to take. \u00a0Aside from reinforcing solution chemistry calculations, this lab offered more in class practice using volumetric glassware and their associated techniques. \u00a0A problem arose when each lab group required 3 volumetric flasks and our room only had a total of 12 flasks available for use. \u00a0In order to circumvent extra large lab groups, but still keep students engaged, I composed\u00a0a nine question problem set involving molarity, molality and dilution caluclations. \u00a0In order to solve the problems, students had to answer riddles and find clues hidden around our room. \u00a0At each location students solved a particular problem and then moved on to find a the next clue to solve.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The riddles included:<\/p>\n

This is the place to go<\/p>\n

If the teachers need a rest<\/p>\n

Or a student must make up a test<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You enter 208 through one door<\/p>\n

But did you know there is one more?<\/p>\n

Head here and find a way to increase your score<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Safety is key<\/p>\n

Really, it\u2019s the only way to be<\/p>\n

So this is the best place to do chemistry<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019re in chemistry and that\u2019s cool<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s another class offered here at school<\/p>\n

Where Newton reins king<\/p>\n

And this is where we keep his things<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is where we make<\/p>\n

your solutions so great<\/p>\n

Go head to the back\u2026. Don\u2019t hesitate!<\/p>\n

This activity aligns with InTASC 3’s learning environment status and InTASC 8’s planning for instruction, which works in tandem with HLP 6. \u00a0I really enjoyed\u00a0planning for this lesson because it allowed me to use my creativity, which was something that I hadn’t done since the beginning of the unit. \u00a0I also like that both projects were student led ones that I had generated and\u00a0I felt like I could adequately monitor two activities at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
