Description
The Boy and the Bottle: A Problem-Based "Properties of Matter" Unit (PBL) for High School Chemistry
Summary:
A child is brought to the emergency room unconscious. The doctor is concerned that the child has been poisoned, possibly by the contents of his bottle. This problem-based unit asks students to complete a series of experiments to determine whether the boy’s bottle contains something besides water.
Both the classroom version and the distance learning/ absent version follow the outline below. In the distance learning option, the case is presented using readings, virtual simulations, and videos.
See the Preview for a list of lab materials, suggested timing, and the first day lesson.
