Case: Multiple-choice test
One year Nancy taught a young football star named Len. Len did not pass the first quarter of chemistry and was in danger of failing the second quarter. At this time, Nancy was using the multiple-choice "pullout tests" that accompanied the textbook to assess her students' understanding of chemical concepts. However, during the second quarter, she decided that too many of her students were failing her class and showing a lack of motivation toward learning the concepts. She decided that her students needed an opportunity to view and appreciate chemistry as a lifelong learning experience, and she began to think that maybe her teaching strategies did not match the way her students were assessed. She wanted to make chemistry enjoyable for her students, and at the same time she wanted them to understand the basic concepts.
What should Nancy do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Nancy should teach the basic concepts of chemistry and then set up different labs around the room to allow students to show mastery of the skills. These labs could include many different things depending upon the topics that are currently being taught. Labs could show how chemistry is used in different fields such as forensics, healthcare, cosmetology, automotives, or culinary arts. Students would not only be interested in hands-on learning in a live work type of setting, they would also be excited about learning in a new way. Nancy could complete the lesson after the lab by having students write a short essay detailing another way to use chemistry in the way they have just done. This would not only give her feedback on the depth of understanding, but could also give her ideas of labs to use in the future. |

| Comments: I agree that chemistry should be a hands-on learning experience. Students should be able to test out each idea within a lab. I also like that this solution pointed out that teaching students about the opportunities in chemistry will encourage interest and participation from many students in the class. |

| Comments: I think it is beneficial to the student to see how chemistry can relate to what they are interested in so any examples, videos, or labs that show the connection would help the student become more motivated to learn about chemistry. |
