 * Content Standards: **
 * 1) Analysis, inquiry, and design. Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seeks answers, and develop solutions.
 * 2) Information systems. Students will access, generate, process, and transfer information using appropriate technologies.
 * 3) Students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to the physical setting and living environment and recognize the historical development of ideas in science.
 * 4) Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.
 * 5) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Interconnectedness: Common theme. Students will understand the relationships and common themes that connect mathematics, science, and technology and apply the themes to these and other areas of learning.
 * 6) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Interdisciplinary problem solving. Students will apply the knowledge and thinking skills of mathematics, science, and technology to address real-life problems and make informed decisions.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">ISTE NETS-S **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Creativity and innovation
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Research and information fluency
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Digital citizenship
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Technology operations and concepts
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Instructional Objective(s): **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will complete activity by placing ordinary household items on table (for example: a balloon, a box of baking soda, vinegar, litmus strips, a lemon, play-doh, a graduated cylinder, a rock, string, and an empty plastic bottle. On the internet a picture of these items will be placed, students will share their thoughts as to what can be done with these items to demonstrate chemical combinations as well as public comments as well.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Before-Class Preparation: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will have previously read Chapter one (starting on page C71) in content text. We will have had previous discussions regarding the periodic table of elements, they will have had previous knowledge as to how the elements are ordered, and we will have covered chemical combinations of everyday substances around them (oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, bases and acids). Terms and definitions will have also been covered previously.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Time: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Class period of two days (1/2 hour each day). This is a teacher paced activity with students creating all of the assignment.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Instructional Activity: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will collect all the necessary materials (vinegar, plastic bottle, a lemon, litmus paper, baking soda, a balloon, play-doh, graduated cylinder, a rock, and a piece of string). All items will be placed on a table and a digital picture will be taken. Students will then log onto [|www.voicethread.com] and create an account (using teacher supplied information). The picture will then be uploaded to the class page; students will then take turns either recording using the voice option or uploading a written piece in regards to the items in the picture. The students will make suggestions as to how they would use them items in the picture to complete tasks in the area of matter (Chemical properties). Each student will have to make at least one contribution, they may add as many ideas as they would like. The goal is to have the outside community build on student’s ideas and offer ideas to the students for them to try.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Notes: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will record all suggestions made to them from outside sources on the [|www.voicethread.com] page.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Ongoing Assessment: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">For students that struggle with typing/reading provide assistance when and when needed, you may even need o help with writing down the information received from others. Check with students throughout the process to make sure that they are recording their information.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Accommodations and Extensions: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students in grades 5-8 should encounter minor problems when accessing this website. Language learners will also need to have some of the items read to them and ideas presented may need to be clarified. This is teacher paced, so the pace may be sped up or slowed down based on student need.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Back-up Plan: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> These items can be researched using student textbooks, talking to high school science teachers, and trying a few experiments with teacher supervision.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Lesson Reflections and Notes: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will be excited to receive information from outside sources and just as anxious to try the experiments in a whole group setting. I am looking forward to watching their facial expressions when they receive their first response.
