1. Notes
1.1. Acids and Bases Group Projects
1.2. Goals of Each Lesson
1.3. Objectives
1.3.1. To have groups first create a project about their acid or base theory
1.3.2. Then have the groups switch projects and try to improve each others work
1.4. Reasoning
1.4.1. It will help students begin to understand how the scientific community collaborates on documents when doing research
1.5. Content
1.5.1. Create a document using Google Documents and share it with your classmates and the teacher
1.6. Method of Instruction
1.6.1. Students will be taught about the types of acid-base theories and understand the fundamental concepts behind each theory. This project will help reinforce their understanding of the topic.
1.7. Method of Evaluation
1.7.1. Students will self assess their projects before they share them then reassess after their peers have improved on explaining each scientific theory. It will then be marked on a rubric by the teacher
