PBL Instructional Unit Plan

PBL Unit Preparation

Define the Content The objective of this laboratory is to make
PBL Ideas lye soap via the saponification reaction.
This learning material will develop the 21st
Century skills of the learners: critical
thinking, creativity, discipline, problem
solving and innovation. The learners are
expected to determine and learn the
procedure of making soaps, how
saponification occurs, properties of soap,
the final product of the reaction and the
uses and principles of saponification.
Moreover, values must also be incorporated
into the learning process in order to
instill appropriate attitudes.

Identify the Context The learning material includes the following

activities that learners can use to apply the
intended content:

 Wearing safety goggles, laboratory gown,

gloves and observe laboratory rules.
 Preparing the materials and equipments
needed.
 Calibrating accurate amounts of solutions
and chemicals.
 Choosing of fragrance
 Performing the experiment
 Molding of Soaps
 Describing the appearance and properties
 Identifying the reaction for the
saponification
List Possible Problems  Learners doesn’t have Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE)
 Inaccurate measurement of solution and
chemicals.
 Equipments are not available
 Chemicals are not available
 Misbehaving Fragrance or Essential Oil
 Learners are not following the procedure
 Breaking of glass wares and spilling of
chemicals

Describe Potential If learners do not have PPE, they can rent

Solutions in the campus worth 10 pesos. Learners
should read the instructions first before
starting. Learners should be mindful and
cautious in getting the right amount of
chemicals and solutions and refer the
measurements in the manual. If the
equipments and the working laboratory are
not available to the scheduled time then
the teacher should reschedule it for the
learners to perform the experiment. The
teacher should make sure first that the
chemicals and solutions needed for the
experiment are available before performing
the experiment. If the solution has a
misbehaving fragrance , the learners should
add only the specific amount of fragrance
or essential oil and blend it lightly.
Learners should understand and analyze the
procedure to avoid mistakes and they should
be cautious to their movements since they
might break laboratory glasswares and spill
chemicals that might cause damages and
fire.

Calibrate Your Project It is recommended that students bring their

laboratory gown, goggles, and gloves. The
necessary equipment, chemicals, and
solutions are provided.
A good methodology would include things
like group discussions, lectures, self-
paced learning, and video presentations.
Manuals would also be provided to students
as references, and it is recommended that
they conduct their own research in order to
be prepared for the discussion.
Describe the Task The experiment and tasks given will help
the learners to understand how soaps are
made and relating it to science, they will
determine how the reactions of
saponification occur. They are provided
considerable insight and quantitative
information about the tasks. On the
experiment, problems will inevitably arise,
but being prepared and developing problem-
solving skills will aid the learners in
dealing with them. Students' understanding
of specific scientific facts and concepts,
as well as how these facts and concepts are
organized in scientific disciplines, may be
enhanced by this laboratory experiences.

Reflect on the Learning Learners are assessed through performance

tasks, written assessments and direct
observations to ensure that they are
learning effectively. Written assessments
were used to determine the students'
knowledge and understanding on the
saponification while performance tasks
includes the experiment itself and making
the final product which is soap.
