Blog Lesson Idea
Students will check their classroom blog every night for important announcements, reminders, and
homework. Students will see the latest blog posting for a Flipped Classroom assignment that was posted
Friday. Students will listen to the audio and complete the assignment. Students must watch a linked
YouTube tutorial on balancing chemical reactions, and then practice balancing three equations posted on
the website. Students are expected to come to class with the reactions balanced and come with questions.
Students will then complete a hands-on balancing reactions activity to help them understand matter
conservation during a reaction. After the activity, students will be introduced to a project that they will have
one week and 3 days to complete. They must utilize Audacity, using school technology, to create a brief
audio tutorial on how to balance a chemical reaction. Students will then post their original work on the
classroom blog as a resource for other students and future chemistry students to use. With parent
permission, students can share their product in other ways to a broader audience. This project will count as
a summative grade.
