Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Group Presentations: In small groups, - Research and give class presentations on the IUPAC rules for naming various groups of inorganic compounds. - Apply the IUPAC rules to name binary and ternary compounds, oxoacids, salts and hydrated salts - Design a chart on the IUPAC rules for naming inorganic compounds to be posted in the classroom Problem-Based Learning: In a class activity, - Discuss the laws that are applied in writing or determining chemical formulae of various compounds. - Calculate the empirical and molecular formulae of various inorganic compounds. - Write chemical formulae for named binary and ternary compounds, oxoacids, oxosalts and hydrated salts. - Determine the percentage composition of elements in various compounds based on their formulae. E.g., MgO, Cu O and CuO. 2 Collaborative Learning: - With the aid of a chart, discuss the rules to be followed in balancing chemical equations. - In pairs or groups, write and balance chemical equations for the following: a. Combustion b. Synthesis c. Displacement or replacement d. Decomposition e. Ionic equation Initiating Talk for Learning: Using relevant examples, discuss the laws of chemical combination namely: - Law of conservation of matter - Law of constant proportion - Law of multiple proportion Inquiry-Based Learning: - In pairs or groups, perform a simple experiment to show that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. - Use the reaction between molar solutions of Na CO and CaCl . 2 3 2 Teaching and Learning Materials: - * Worksheets with sample questions * Worksheets to record results. * Na CO 2 3 * CaCl 2 * Bolt and nuts * Resources for measuring volume and preparing solutions * Weighing scale - * Calculator - * Periodic table containing the elements with their relative atomic masses * Calculator * Beam balance or diagram of beam balance Substances of different weights - * Apparatus (beaker, flask, weighing * Worksheet on the of substance and molar * Solid solutes - Liquid solutes (e.g., water) - CHARTS * Charts between other quantities - for preparing solutions funnel, stirrer, volumetric scale), with sample questions interconversion of amount to number of entities quantities. (e.g., NaOH, NaCl) (e.g., HCl) Solvent - showing interconversion amount of substance and Assessment (1.1.1.AS.6). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding.
