GENERAL INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN QUARTER: UNIT TOPIC(S): Diversity of Materials in the Environment LESSON 2 : SOLUTION MODULE MAP: SOLUTION KINDS OF SOLUTION BASED ON SATURATION FACTORS AFFECTING SOLUBILITY NATURE OF SOLUTE AND SOLVENT UNSATURATED TEMPERATURE SATURATED CONCENTRATION PRESSURE SUPERSATURATED % BY MASS % BY VOLUME STAGE I: ESTABLISHING DESIRED LEARNING OUTCOMES 1 CONTENT STANDARD: Demonstrate understanding of the types of solutions, ways of describing their concentration and the factors affecting their solubility. PERFORMANCE STANDARD: Prepare different concentrations of simple mixtures that offer some practical use and in the most efficient way without sacrificing its quality COMPETENCIES: a. Investigate on the different types of solution such as saturated, supersaturated, unsaturated b. Explain the difference between percentage by weight and percentage by volume of solution c. Identify and explain the factors affecting solubility d. Conduct simple investigations using process common to the locality (e.g finding out the effect of varying salt concentrations on red egg preparation) e. Identify components of investigation such as problem, hypothesis, method of testing the hypothesis ( identifying independent and dependent variables) and conclusions based on evidence. f. Recognize that the design of an investigation should show fair testing (M) ENDURING UNDERSTANDING: Students will understand that 1. Understanding the types of solution and expressing its concentration may lead them to its practical use in our everyday life. 2. Using simple investigation may help them discover ways on how solutions in the environment work in most efficient ways without sacrificing quality ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: 1. How are solutions formed? 2. How can the knowledge of solutions help us create products useful in everyday life? 2 (T) TRANSFER GOAL: Students on their own will be able to design and produce a good food product by utilizing their knowledge in concentration of solution. Thus, they could be able to make a power point presentation of making food products like delicacies which would be commercial and at the same time will minimize the disposal of garbage in the community. NOTES: 1. The Unit Map. This unit covers the topic SOLUTION. The module map shows the kinds of solution based on saturation. This topic serves as an introduction to the discussion of the quantitative description of concentration of solution. This is addressed by the percent by mass and percent by volume as ways of expressing concentration of solution. Factors affecting solubility was also tackled in this lesson. This would deepen the students’ understanding on how solution behaves in different conditions. This learning unit is different from other units because its scope is limited to the basic knowledge of solution. This topic does not tackle some concepts like colligative properties and other ways of expressing concentration of solution like molarity, molality and normality .This will be discussed in the succeeding lessons. 2. The Content Standard and Enduring Understanding. As indicated by the content standard, the goal for this unit topic is for students to understand that knowing the types of solution and expressing its concentration may lead them to its practical use in our everyday life and using simple investigation may help them discover ways on how solutions in the environment work in most efficient ways without sacrificing quality. This aspect of the unit topic is important to understand because some common problems students encounter in this topic involves difficulty in preparing simple solutions , mathematical computations of concentration of solution identifying materials as solution colloid or suspension Certain studies and research such as done by Christopher Horton entitled ,”Student Alternative Conceptions in Chemistry (Originally: Student Misconceptions and Preconceptions in Chemistry)”, also point out that for this topic some students’ misconceptions are as follows: 1. Air is not seen nor touched so it cannot be a solution. 2. Increase in temperature will also increase the solubility of all solute in a solvent. 3. When a solid is dissolved in water the water takes on properties of the sugar. 4. Sugar becomes water on dissolving. 5. Dissolving sugar in water is a chemical change. 6. All solutions are in liquid form. The problem may be observed in the classroom or in student works when students classify solution as compounds, that after dissolving something , they think that new substance has been formed. When they were asked to give examples of solution, they give only those which are in liquid state because they think that all solutions are in liquid form. 3 Thus, the learning problem may be remedied and addressed if students see that understanding the types of solution and expressing its concentration may lead them to its practical use in our everyday life and using simple investigation may help them discover ways on how solutions in the environment work in most efficient ways without sacrificing quality 3. The Essential Question and Learning Competencies. In order for students to construct this underlying meaning, students will answer the EQ, “How are solutions formed? “ and “ How can the knowledge of solutions help us create products useful in everyday life?” With an open-ended EQ, students will search for the answer in different ways and develop the understanding and acquire the related competencies. 4. The Performance Standard and the Transfer Goal. Another important goal as indicated by the performance standard is for students to on their own , to design and produce a good food product by utilizing their knowledge in concentration of solution. Thus, they could be able to make a power point presentation of making food products like delicacies which would be commercial and at the same time will minimize the disposal of garbage in the community. If students are able to demonstrate this, then students are able to transfer their learning to real life situations. Examples of situations in real life where students will apply the competencies and demonstrate the understanding are the following. 1. Identify the solutions with higher concentration of harmful chemicals like acids, bases etc 2. Produce simple products which could be used in daily life activities using their knowledge in concentration of solution. STAGE II: OBTAINING EVIDENCES OF UNDERSTANDING THROUGH VARIED ASSESSMENTS A.

PRACTIC ALITY OF RECOMM ENDATIO NS Practicality of all suggested processes were discussed and encouragement to do the process is emphasized. Additional information like tips on how to increase profit without sacrificing the quality of the product were added. . Practicality of the suggested processes were not discussed OVERALL RATING NOTES: 1. The Unit Assessment Map. The lesson assessment map provides an overview of all the assessments done in the lesson. In general, students are assessed according to the four components of the new grading system (Knowledge, Process or Skills, Understanding and Transfer). In turn, these four areas reflect the three goals of assessing for understanding namely, Acquisition, Meaning Making and Transfer or simply known as A-M-T. 2. The Pre and Post Assessment Matrix and Table of Specification. The assessment matrices code items according to A-M-T. The distribution of these items in the table of specification follows the distribution of percentages for the areas of the grading system. Hence, 40% of the test items are coded A (since Knowledge is 15% and Process Skills is 25%), 30% of the items 17 are coded M, and another 30% for T. This coding is the backbone of the OHSP assessment system. The OHSP system tracks students’ performance in A-M-T. Teachers can always retrieve in real time the results of students’ test in these areas. Results are given in both tabulated and graph forms. The diagnostic or pre-test assessment matrix determines students’ prior knowledge on SOLUTION. These are seen in test items no.… The pre-test also measures students’ misconceptions on solubility of substances. These are done through test items no. 18 and 19. Note though that the OHSP system randomizes the sequence of the test items and the options in each item. To find out how students individually scored in the tests, go to and click on in OHSP system Student List. Next, select Student name. View student’s Performance Record. Then scroll down to desired topic and click on date of completion. View student’s Test Score per item and the item’s code (A-M-T). The post-test assessment matrix evaluates the changes in students’ misconceptions as seen in test items no.16. Hence, when reviewing test scores, it is important to see how students particularly score in these items as well as the other items related to understanding . Student performance in these items will indicate the kind of intervention that needs to be done. The OHSP system also shows to the teacher the items where most of the students score well or poor in. Teachers can also trace the corresponding activity in the lesson where the content of the test item is discussed. Teachers can then check on student performance in those activities and determine how their answer prepared them for the corresponding test item. 3. Interventions Based on Test Scores. If students are not able to do well in A-coded items, teachers may consider doing the following interventions : a. Advice students to take more online quizzes. b. Give students some practice problems on topics which they find difficulty. c. Retake some exercises given and rethink on the items where they answered wrong. If students are not able to do well in M-coded items, teachers may consider doing the following interventions: a. Advise students to view more videos on preparing solutions, solubility and concentration of solution. b. Give students more home activities where they could prepare simple solutions If students are not able to do well in T-coded items, teachers may consider doing the following interventions: 18 a. Ask students to research on solutions in industry, medicine and foods so that they may realize its significance in our daily life. b. Ask the students to identify solutions at home and indicate their functions/ importance. You may also add asking them how could it be without these solutions that they have identified.( disadvantages) 3. Verifying Student Test Scores. Teachers may also verify student scores in A-coded items by asking students to do or answer the following in a live chat or face-to-face setting: a. What solutions are in solid form? Liquid form? Gaseous form? b. What would make a solute dissolve faster in a solvent? c. Differentiate saturated, unsaturated and supersaturated solution. Teachers may also verify student scores in M-coded items by asking students to do the following in a live chat or face-to-face setting: a. How would you prepare a supersaturated solution? b. How do you prepare 24% by volume ethyl alcohol solution? c. How do you prepare 15% by mass salt solution? d. Design an experiment to determine the solubility of an unknown solute. Teachers may also verify student scores in T-coded items by asking students to do the following in a live chat or face-to-face setting: a. Describe the video on crystallization of a supersaturated solution. b. Describe how molecules of solute and solvents interact on the solution process. c. Describe how fondant making process is related to solution. 19 5. Map of Conceptual Change. Another important indicator of student growth in thinking is the unit’s map of conceptual change. For this unit, the chosen map is Anticipation Reaction Guide. The students are asked to answer this map at different points in the lesson, namely - Explore, Firm Up, Deepen, Transfer) … The students’ cognitive growth is qualitatively assessed by comparing the students’ prior knowledge and new knowledge. In the unit’s map for conceptual change, the students show their prior knowledge by answering first column of the ARG in Explore Part during Deepen stage. The students articulate their new knowledge by filling up the last column of the ARG during the end of deepen part These parts indicate transitional processes between prior and new knowledge development. Teachers are encouraged to every now and then retrieve and monitor students’ answers in this map. Student answers in this map provide clear data for teachers in terms of their cognitive development. 6. Formative Assessments. In order to assure student success in the summative assessments, the listed formative assessments check on the following performances as indicators of student mastery and readiness: Check points after web page reading, work sheets for experiments and guide questions after web surfing and VIDEO viewing are given as formative assessments.. 7. Student’s Answers to Recurring Essential Question. Another way of doing formative assessment is to retrieve and examine how students answer the Essential Question. The unit’s EQ is/are the following: How are solutions formed? How can the knowledge of solution help us create products that are useful in our daily life activity?. The student is asked to answer the EQ in these different parts, namely: Explore, Firm Up, Deepen, Transfer. Teachers are encouraged to compare the students’ final answers to the EQ with the desired EU. If the student’s answers are far or different from the EU, the teacher may check on the way students are doing in the activities and determine the appropriate intervention. 8. The Performance Task and Rubric. With regards to the performance task, this is designed according to the transfer goal in Part 1. The standards in the performance task are reflected in the first column of the rubric. These rubric criteria are also aligned with the performance standard because it effectively measures students’ understanding of the nature and properties of solution. The rubric criteria related to understanding is content. With this criteria, students are evaluated on their understanding of the kinds of solution, concentration of solution such as % by Mass and % by Volume. The rubric criteria related to the competencies or skills are practicality of recommendations. With these criteria, students are evaluated on understanding on how the knowledge of solution can be used in daily life activity. Students achieve the performance standard when they or their work scores Satisfactory for each criteria in the rubric. Students whose works exceed the Satisfactory criteria score Outstanding. Note the additions in the descriptor which indicate extra work on the part of the students. 20 Students whose works have errors score either as Developing or Beginning. Note the parts of the descriptors which indicate deficiencies. The submission of the performance task may be done online because they will be using power point presentation as they output STAGE III: CONDUCTING THE LEARNING PLAN A.

The unit activities map shows the different activities done in the lesson. The activities are designed to address the different AM-T learning goals. Acquisition activities in particular are also matched according to the required and added competencies. The A activities involve defining solubility, saturated, supersaturated, unsaturated solution. During M activities, students calculated concentration of solution in terms of % by mass and % by volume. Also, students uses the concepts of karat and proof to determine the amount of solute in solution. In T activities, students are given real life situations in which they could apply their knowledge of solution. The Assessment-Activities Matrix also shows the activities which implement the established and added competencies. This Matrix helps the teacher evaluate the readiness of a student to answer a particular test item by looking at the student’s performance in a particular activity related to the assessment. If the student does not do well in a set of test items, the teacher may go back to the activity linked to the test item and see if the student was already having difficulty. 2. The Scaffold for Transfer. The T activities are also sequenced according to a certain progression as indicated in the scaffold for transfer. The scaffold consists of four levels starting with direct prompting and on to independent transfer. In the scaffold, students focus on the skill using solution in real life situation. Students develop mastery of this skill by first in direct prompt , acquire initial knowledge about components, properties and kinds of solution by web page 27 reading and surfing . This activity is done in explore and deepen parts of the module. Then in the open prompt, students during the middle of the deepen, will try series of experiments on solubility and factors affecting solubility. Next in the guided transfer done during end of deepen, students will try to make fondant at home. Students are again asked to do a task similar in the final level but this time in the independent level, students are evaluated according to their ability to on their own will make a power point presentation about making products like delicacies, soaps etc which we can use in our daily life activity ,out of local fruits like bananas . They will be using their knowledge of solution in performing this task. SECTION 2. STRATEGIES FOR BLENDED LEARNING: INDEX OF STUDENT’S ONLINE TASKS: STUDENT’S ONLINE TASK EFD T AM T 1.
