SCH3U - F. Gases and Atmospheric Chemistry Culminating activity
Your culminating task is project that the whole class will be involved in. “Students can develop background knowledge through both direct and indirect experiences”. (Marzano 2004) This is why you are going to make video clips and combine them into a class video, which we will watch at the end of the unit. This will help prepare you for the unit. The video should be no longer than 2 hours long, which means that each group will have 3-10 minutes of time for their video clip. You will use your own cameras (or cell phones etc.) for filming, or you may ask me for further assistance in filming your work.
Groups of students in the class will work together to make a video clip for each of the Ministry of Education’s curriculum expectations on the Gases and Atmospheric Chemistry unit. The curriculum documents are provided at the end of this document.
Jump start on assigning sections: You will divide yourselves into equal groups, so that each group will cover at least one of the topics in the curriculum. Read the Ministry documents at the end of this package. (pages 102-103 of the Senior Science Curriculum) Read through the expectations. Rank your top five, with five being the highest and one the lowest. The expectation codes will be written on the board. Write your name and ranking number under each of your choices. Compare the popularity of choices with your classmates and use this to help divide the class into groups. Each expectation should be covered by a group. Submit your group names and the expectation your group will cover.
Once your groups are made: Follow the choice board for ideas on how to film your topic. As a class we will discuss if the marks allotted for each choice are fair and if any of them should be changed.
Class days set aside for preparation and viewing: Classes 10, 14, 17 – Submit rough proposal. o Proposals must be submitted to teacher before filming. Class 18 – Filming should be complete. o All video clips should be submitted digitally to teacher’s laptop (format should play on windows movie maker). Teacher will combine all video clips into one continuous video. Classes 19, 20 - Viewing films.
