TEACHING RESOURCES TEST INFORMATION

NAME AND SURNAME
Angela Gammell
AFFILIATION
St Joseph's Secondary School, Spanish Point, Co. Clare
ROLE IN THE PROJECT
Teacher
TITLE OF TEACHING RESOURCE
Chemistry Experiment Simulations and Conceptual Computer Animations (Acid-Base titration)
Link
http://group.iastate.edu/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/simDownload/#chemRxn
Topics related to the resource
There are many resources: we tested acid base titrations and equilibria simulations
Examples of learning objectives
To be able to calculate molarity of unknown in acid-base titrations
To explore how changes in concentration or volume affect pH
To visualise equilibrium
Thermochemistry simulations
Gas laws simulations
Practical information regarding the use
of the site/simulation...
Many files download as zipped files and need to be unzipped.
Resource available by clicking on link to Successful Experiences and then database of publications.
Information about the class
9 students in an upper secondary school class
Suggestion for use
Ideal for revising after lab work has been completed and then later for exam preparation.
Also suitable to allow students to try many examples on their own where further consolidation/practice is needed.
Insights into student
use / thinking
Some of the students found this resource very useful for revising, but some found it too time-consuming.
They liked the instant feedback about whether or not they were correct in their calculations.
Teacher’s conclusions
I will use this resource as a tool during revision in class and also use it for/with students who need extra consolidation of the work done in the laboratory.

National Reports on successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry The national reports on chemistry successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry are now available on the related section of the project portal. The reports presents examples of successful experiences in the partner countries and the results of testing of ICT resources with science teachers.
