Welcome to the Chemistry Summer Science Institute 2009 July 6-17, 2009
Goals of CSSI • Inquire • Understand important concepts in chemistry • Develop science process skills • Develop inquiry-based lessons • Network and build science learning communities
Inquiry • Observing • Challenging existing understandings • Being open to new ideas • Experimenting and gathering evidence that supports the ideas
Some Misconceptions in Chemistry • Matter can be destroyed in reactions like burning. • Air isn’t matter. • Hot things are heavier than cold things.
What is a Misconception? • Incorrect understanding of term or process • Not merely a misfact • Can be taught to you or you can come to it based on your personal experience • Highly resistant to change
Lesson Design – The 5 E’s • Engagement • Exploration • Explanation • Extension • Evaluation
Science Process Skills - Basic • Observing • Measuring • Classifying • Communicating • Inferring • Predicting
Science Process Skills- Integrated • Controlling Variables • Defining Operationally • Formulating Hypotheses • Interpreting Data • Experimenting • Formulating Models
