LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will: 1. Learn about what makes a polar molecule and what makes a molecule non-polar 2. Learn about solubility - That different molecules are soluble in different types of liquids - That there are different forces (polar and non-polar that affect how soluble solutes are in different solvents)
ASSESSMENTS
Observations: the Quiz as well as the assignment during
the Lab portion of this lesson.
Key Questions: What is the difference between polar and non polar
molecules and how does this affect solubility?
Written/Performance Assessments:
Lab Worksheet
-If you have questions please ask -be respectful of each other Ask: does everyone understand? Say: Okay lets get started. Assessment of Prior Knowledge: Ask: Who here knows what an atom is? If required ask someone to explain what an atom is. Answer. an atom is the basic unit of matter. Ask: Who knows what a molecule is? Answer: a molecule is a group of atoms that are bonded together Behaviour Expectations -When I'm talking no one else is -If you have questions please ask -Students will work in groups I expect you to be respectful of eachother -Students to keep an appropriate volume -Students to follow the instructions -No eating the experiment Advance Organizer/Agenda: 1. Introduction (Lesson title Solubility and Polarity) 2. Lecture 3. Experiment and worksheet. Transition to Body: Today we are going to be discussing some properties of liquids that allow the lava lamps at your tables to work
Ask:If a polar liquid and a nonpolar liquid are added together what will they look like Answer: they will form two layers Ask: if a nonpolar solid and a nonpolar liquid are added together will the solid dissolve in the liquid? Answer: Yes it will L.A. #1 Transition: Alright now to the fun part of this lesson, put your lava lamps in your waste beaker and open
up the box underneath them Hands on Experiment; Learning Activity #2: (Visual and Inter-personal) Students in their assigned groups will be able to test the solubility of various household compounds in oil or water and describe if they did, did not, or partially dissolved. 1. 2. 3. (Explain while handing out worksheets) These are your lab materials keep everything in the boxes, cups have been marked as oil or non-polar and water or polar. You will be marking your observations of your unknowns for their solubility in these liquids and then deducing an idea about the polarity of the unkown. Do a quick example of what the students are supposed to do.
Students will work as a table to discover which solutes will dissolve in what solvents and how this reflects the solutes physical characteristics. -Each table will have a row of oil cups and water cups. -Each row of oil and water cups will have a row of the unknowns (numbered) -Spoons will be provided -Student will then put the unknowns into the cups and observe the results. Teacher: Walking around the class room talking to students and helping them with any quesitons that they may have, Ask: So if unknown #1 dissolves in water this means that unknown #1 must be what? (this can be adapted for the different unknowns) Students: working together, and maintaing a reasonable volume, as well as staying at their own tables. Work Sheet; L.A. #2 Assessments/Differentiation: Assesment occurs in a Tabulated worksheet with a list of the unknown solutes
and the two solvents with two rows / observation of students during the activity.
Observations
Unknown Initial Observations of Solute (colour, clarity, Etc) Observations in Water (is it soluble has the water changed at all?) Observations in Oil (is it soluble has the oil changed at all?)
#1
#2
#3
Clean up Students will use a waste beaker and stack cups putting all remaining cups into their tray which one individual will put at the side table when done.
Closure ( 2 min.):
Ask: so now does everyone understand how our lava lamps worked? Ask: Will someone explain to me how they work? Answer: students should discuss about the polarity of liquids and how that stops them from being soluble in eachother which allows the effect of a Lava lamp to occur. Say: good job everyone thank you for being patient and working together for the lab. Ask: Did everyone enjoy about todays lesson? Tomorrow we will be looking at how a liquids polarity can affect some of its physical properties based on other similar molecules (such as boiling point)
Sponge ( ~1 Min.):
Will do the application of water being bent by a magnetic field if time permits.
REFLECTION
After the lesson, the teacher will look back and ask what went well, what needs improvement and where do I go from here?
