Whiz-BANG learning

This is a collection of all current Whiz-Bangs for moles, molar mass, mole conversion and percent composition for a physical science and/or chemistry class. Whiz-Bangs are step-by-step guides that help students to discover their own schema based on the guided inquiry method of teaching and learning.

This product is a complete student-centered learning experience. The product uses an inquiry-based model that utilizes 6 pages of comprehensive questions and a graphic pictogram. The pictogram is designed for students to have search and discover answers to questions. This pictogram is meant to replace notes and power point slides, at least partially giving students a new experience. This Whiz-Bang covers:•Hydrogen / hydroxide ions •Hydronium •pH/pOH calculations •Lewis acid/base model •Arrh

This percent composition whiz bang is designed for inquiry based learning. This step by step lesson allows students to move through and develop their understanding of this concept. I have successfully used this in my classroom and it has proven to be a very effective student centered assignment. Whiz-Bangs allow for in class and online students to perform the same assignment without any additional teacher prep or large difference in assignments. With this whiz-bang already designed, you will h

This Whiz-Bang introduces students to the concepts of atoms, ions and isotopes. It covers the rules and thought processes for all of these atomic structures. The Whiz-Bang is designed for students to be able to explore their understanding of atomic structure and why/how ions and isotopes are formed with little to no instruction. This activity model allows for students to gain knowledge independently, in group work or teacher led intruction. I use these Whiz-Bangs in all of my chemistry classes

This product comes with a printable solutions test, a printable solutions test answer key and printable test review. All of these are google documents that you will be forced to make an editable copy for your drive. There is also a self grading, answer and question shuffling google form that mirrors the printable solutions test. This is also a link and will force you to make an editable copy for your drive. I have used the online test as a unit assessment in my classroom. The answer ans quest

This is a simple version of reading solubility charts. I found that I was over teaching this concept and this resource allows me to let students complete the work at their own pace. I found that some students really did not need as much instruction as I gave them and could easily master the information with very little guidance. This product also lets students who need extra help be able to ask very directed questions as to the type of problem that they are having by using the slides to pinpo

This is the first Whiz-BANG for the Mole series. What is a Whiz-BANG? It is a way to have in class and online students participate in the same work, but with the appropriate adjustments for their individual learning environments. This particular WB (whiz-bang) take the students through the mole concept, uses and molar mass calculations. It is broken up into several sections to allow the teacher to address several talking points, learning targets and teachable moments. Although, this WB does

This product covers mole to grams, grams to moles, mole to atom , atoms to moles and 2 step problems from atoms to grams and vice versa. I have used this product in my classroom and find that the use of small steps and real word comparisons has helped the students with their math understanding of chemistry. My students can easily integrate the in class lecture and practice problems directly to their Whiz-BANG work. The structure of this assignment take the students from basic understanding to f

This is a fill in the blank flowchart / mind map for a unit on matter in a chemistry or physical science classroom. This flowchart forces students to organize information, create unique schema and create informational relationships that may not have been formed with traditional practice. I have had great success with this having students work individually and in groups. The group activities create a natural conversational environment that keeps the students engaged with the task at hand. I

Quick easy way for students to analyze their stoichiometry word problems and figure out the best way to conduct the math part of the problem. This foldable lets the student decide what type of problem they have encountered and then guides them through the steps to solving. This foldable does need some front loading as far as the dimensional analysis procedures and an understanding as to what the problem is asking for.
