Ap Chemistry: Bonding + Periodic Table Review + Extension [11th-12th Grade], Katelin A. Whittaker
Understanding by Design: Complete Collection
This AP Chemistry unit is designed to review bonding from first year chemistry and extend the content into AP bonding objectives. After first year chemistry, this unit attempts to place the bonding content within an intriguing context: smells + how humans sense smells. Our olfactory receptors are activated nearly exclusively by medium-sized, polar molecules. This allows the teacher to draw a distinction between covalent molecules and ionic formula units, polar and nonpolar molecules, and size and shape of molecules predicted from Lewis Dot structures and valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory. The unit concludes with a thin-layer chromatography (a separation technique …

Loss In Joyce’S Dubliners [11th-12th Grade], Lauren Lee
Understanding by Design: Complete Collection
This unit, written for a primarily senior college preparatory English Literature class, uses several short stories from James Joyce’s Dubliners to focus on the thematic idea of loss, grief, and coping to build on students’ understanding of research, creative writing, discussion, reading, making connections, and literary terms. At the unit’s conclusion, students will demonstrate their mastery of these skills and understandings in a Wikispace in which they conduct first-person research on a culture, as Joyce did, and emulate some of his creative writing skills to develop vignettes about that culture working independently or in groups. Some activities that will lead …
