  5. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Background: my research • Hypothesizing • Designing an experiment • Collecting data • Analyzing data • Reaching a conclusion • Communicating results to your peers

  6. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Background: my research • Hypothesizing • Designing an experiment • Collecting data • Analyzing data • Reaching a conclusion • Communicating results to your peers Science

  7. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Background: my current labs • Following directions • Collecting data • Getting the answer • Communicating results to your teacher

  8. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Background: my current labs • Following directions • Collecting data • Getting the answer • Communicating results to your teacher Nonscience

  9. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Background: what do I want students to learn?

  10. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Background: what do I want students to learn?

  11. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Background: what do I want students to learn? • Hypothesizing • Designing an experiment • Collecting data • Analyzing data • Reaching a conclusion • Communicating results to your peers

  12. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Background: what do I want students to learn? • Hypothesizing • Designing an experiment • Collecting data • Analyzing data • Reaching a conclusion • Communicating results to your peers Science

  13. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs The Plan • Modify current procedure-based experiments • Teach materials and techniques so students can design their own experiments • Assess learning with presentations that emphasize peer communication

  14. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Example: volumes lab Before– We will approximate the volume of a person using cylinders, rectangular solids, cubes, and spheres. Use centimeters (cm) for all measurements.

  15. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Example: volumes lab Before –

  16. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Example: volumes lab After – An alien race has run out of food and is planning to import humans. For proper nutritional labeling, they need to find out the volume of each food item. They promise to spare you if you will measure the volume of your lab partner. What is the approximate volume of your lab partner measured in cubic centimeters?

  17. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Example: volumes lab After –

  18. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Example: molar volume Before – calculate the volume of one mole of a gas at STP

  19. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs Example: molar volume Dear chemistry students, Our company is willing to donate 1 mole of hydrogen gas to your instructor for demonstrations. Unfortunately, we don't know how to measure out a mole of this gas because we don't have a scale and we don't know the volume of 1 mole of gas. After producing the hydrogen gas by reacting an active metal with an acid, what volume at what pressure should we collect to have 1 mole at lab temperature (20 degrees Celsius)? Also, what is the volume of 1 mole at STP? To figure this out, you should weigh a piece of magnesium and measure the amount of gas it produces during the reaction. After –

  20. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs • Activity Series • Flame Test • The Mole • Boiling Point Elevation • Alloys • Sweetener in Gum • Density Other labs I converted

  21. Converting to Inquiry Science Labs • Try labs in my chemistry classes • Fix them Future Plans
