Module 2 Overview

Creating activities to eliminate misconceptions

This week we will explore constructivism, constructivist approaches, and strategies to support your engagement methods.

We will have a guest presenter who will take you through a modified Grade 11/12 Chemistry lesson and share with you some strategies they use with their students.

Each of our activities will lead you into this module's main assessment: the micro-lesson and critique. This is an opportunity for you to create your own activity to identify and eliminate a misconception, experience your peers' activities, and collaboratively plan on how you will address misconceptions in the future.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Identify a variety of chemistry misconceptions and their impact on learning new concepts
