SUBJECT

: Chem-Magic (The Third Year Level Chemistry Magical Show)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Ms. Marciano:

Pax et Bonum!
May I present to you the activities/ implementing guidelines for the Chem-Magic (The Third Year
Level Chemistry Magical Show), for your approval;

Nature of Activity: An On-Campus Magical Show featuring magic tricks with Chemistry
Concepts
Date of Activity: January 24, 2013
Venue of Activity: LSM Multi-Purpose Hall
Rationale: The Science Curriculum aims to promote enthusiasm and interest in the field of
Science. Outdoor activities and Hands on activities such as the Chem-Magic Show will
hone students critical thinking and scientific skills as well as their creativity. This activity will
be an interactive and hand on experience for the students to learn more about the different
concepts in Chemistry such as Chemical reactions, flame tests, Periodic Table of elements,
and Properties of molecules.
Objectives:
1) To promote students interest in science and technology through fun and interactive
activity;
2) To learn more concepts in Chemistry outside the classroom settings;
3) To enhance scientific and critical thinking skills as well as creativity through a magical
show presentation.

that will show Chemistry concepts such as Chemical reactions, flame tests, Periodic
Table of elements, and Properties of molecules and at the same time entertain the
target audience.
Standards:
A rubric for assessing a Chemistry Magic Presentation will be used to assess the
performance task of the students for this term. (See attached page of Rubric)
Consider the following components: knowledge, skills, understanding, application to real
