Monday
Content Standard:
Explain the process of dissolving in terms of solute/solvent interactions:
 Observe factors that affect the rate at which a solute dissolves in a specific solvent
 Express concentrations as molarities
 Compare, contrast, and evaluate the nature of acids and bases
o Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry Acid/Bases
o Strong vs. weak acids/bases in terms of percent dissociation
o pH
o Acid-Base neutralization
Essential Question:
How are neutralization reactions carried out in the lab? What calculations are necessary to
titrate correctly?
Musical Theme:
Motown Monday
Learning Activities:
[30 minutes] Whiteboard Review of pH, pOH, and kw
Summary: Teacher will facilitate a warm-up and review of last week’s calculations.
Students will have the opportunity to ask questions about their tiered assignments.
[30 minutes] pH, pOH, kW Quiz
Summary: Students will demonstrate mastery of calculation skills on a 15-question quiz.
[30 minutes] Titrations
Summary: Students will view their last chem-to-go videos. They will learn how pH and
molarity are used in titration reactions
Differentiation Plan:
 Flexible grouping: Students are purposefully grouped homogeneously.

Learning Activities:
[60 minutes] Virtual Titrations Lab
Summary: Students will carry out a virtual titration. The lab activity requires them to
manipulate the addition of a base to a known acid. Students encounter real-life problems
that might require them to start over or revise their calculations. Students will carry out
three different trials.
[30 minutes] Titrations Practice
Summary: Students will solve titration calculations to prepare for tomorrow’s titration
quiz.
Differentiation Plan:
 Appropriate challenge: Every student will encounter a different set of variables in the
lab.
Assessment Plan:
 Formal assessment of understanding: Teacher will grade, mark, and return the
students’ labs.
Homework:
 Prepare for Thursday’s lab practical and cumulative quiz.

Summary: Students will demonstrate current understanding by solving a few titration
questions on a quiz.
[30 minutes] Acid/Base Review
Summary: Students will move around the room and answer posted questions to review
for tomorrow's lab practical and cumulative quiz. Teacher will facilitate a review of
theory/definition quiz and pH quiz.
[30 minutes] Final Exam Review
Summary: Teacher will distribute and explain the exam review materials. Students will
begin solving the first 3 units’ questions.
Differentiation Plan:
