Understanding by Design Unit Template Foundations of Chemistry it Title of Unit Grade Level Physical Science 20, Subject | Time Frame Colton Hope Developed By —_| (ECUR 326.3, Unit Plan Assign., Dr. Tim Molnar, November 28%, 2016) Nine Week Period Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results Broad Areas of Learning How are the BAL incorporated into this unit? Lifelong Learners: ‘The context of students as lifelong learners through the foundations of chemistry unit are expressly depicted in their expansion of knowledge relating to the environment and physical world. In developing furthered understanding of the physical world, students are driven toward the refined study of their ‘own topics of interest centered in the science through processes like; industrialization, mining, and agriculture. Being able to express these topics through the capaci long learning in students. ind Place: Development of a sense of self, community, and place in the foundations of chemistry unit is brought about by the contradiction of students’ scientific [ideologies and misconceptions against scientific law and defined theories of scientists in the field. Students come to define thelr place In the community through the expansion of the larger concepts related to science Industrialization on a macroscopic level and the ways in which chemistry impacts our environments. They come to understand that the universe is not constant and that on a subatomic level, constant change defines their place in it. Engaging Citizens: Learners are engaged as active ctizens through the foundations of chemistry unit by developing co agriculture and mining, how chemistry effects these processes and how those resultant affects introduction of ethnic and societal Issues related to chemistry, students are prompted to speak t (Cross curricular Competencies How will this unit promote the CCC? fous knowledge of industrialized processes Ike F and disrupt our environment, Through the Developing Thinking: Students develop thinking in the foundations of chemistry unit through incorporations of theories on; subatomic particles, the mole, mathematics in the form of stoichiometry, and the relation of all these theories to our madern worlds industrial scale process of chemical reactivity. They also learn to think abstractly about the physical world, instead of simply taking for granted the daily functions of life, they are pushed to consider the different types of reactions that make up chemical processes and how these constant chains of reactions create the world around them. Developing Identity and Interdependence: The development of identity and interdependence in the foundations of chemistry unit is based around the conceptualization that all ike is interconnected, ‘Through the processes of chemical reactivity, stoichiometry etc. students can visually and mathematically represent to correspondence of how products form from reactants and how the sustainability of our natural environment is codependent on these interactions; both of reactants and products. ‘Developing Literacies: During the foundations of chemistry unt students must expressively represent; wr in the required calculations, and physical iteracy through their interactions associated Developing Social Responsibility: ‘The foundations of chemistry units portrays how the social understanding of the chemistry discipline has evolved and today Is generally understcod. Students look at the impact of chemical processes, technology and models of industrialization and how these effect the social sustainability of our civilizations and personal interrelations.
