Stoichiometry

[Milly06]

I am a new teacher, and I will be teaching stoichiometry to high school chemistry students in the next couple weeks.

Stoichiometry is usually very "dry" for the students as it is basically doing a lot of math problems. Do you know any ways that I could make stoichiometry "exciting" or at least a little more interesting for my students?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I actually introduced the idea of stoichiometry by baking cookies. I gave them each group a different recipes and they had to bake cookies for homework. We discussed the recipes and how the proportions make a difference. This also works with smores. Other than this as the introduction, maybe doing some labs will help.

Check out Flinn Scientific's chem topic lab books - there's a great lab that I use for introducing stoichiometry; Micro mole rockets where you generate hydrogen and oxygen and mix them in different proportions in a bereal pipette. The students then light them and can tell which proportion is the best by how loud the pop is - this then leads into limiting and excess reagents.

Hey everyone...I am about to become a teacher in a couple of months now. However, as a final test to me, i need to come up with a very good lesson plan (that will arouse students' interests and assure learning).

I need help to anyone who could donate his/her plan for me as a basis of formulating an effective lesson plan.

I also need several literary criticisms in every genre of literature e.g. short stories, novels, poems, etc.

In anticipation of your favorable responses, thank you very much! !

The lesson plans would be about English grammar.

thanks again and again! ! !
