Secondary Curriculum 2 – Assignment 1 Unit program

Module 4: Drivers of reactions | Stage 6 | Chemistry


Summary Context Duration
Module 4 implemented as the final module in the year 11 The students that attend the school generally come from medium to high SES family 6 weeks
Chemistry course backgrounds. There is only one Year 11 Chemistry class which includes a mixed ability of
students that range from medium to high ability. The classroom size consists of 20 students that
have no documented learning difficulties. The unit is designed to align with the new Stage 6
Syllabus as outlined by NESA. It provides students ample opportunity to increase their Working
Scientifically skills through practical applications.

Content Focus
Students investigate factors that initiate and drive a reaction. They examine the relationship between enthalpy and entropy in calculating the Gibbs free energy. They also examine the roles that
enthalpy and entropy play in the spontaneity of reactions. Students are provided with opportunities to understand that all chemical reactions involve the creation of new substances and
associated energy transformations, which are commonly observable as changes in temperature of the surrounding environment and/or emission of light.

Students conduct investigations to measure the heat energy changes that occur in chemical reactions. They describe reactions using terms such as endothermic and exothermic, and explain
reactions in terms of the law of conservation of energy. They use Hess’s Law to calculate enthalpy changes involved in the breaking and making of bonds.

Working Scientifically Focus


In this module, students focus on developing questions and hypotheses to analyse trends, patterns and relationships in data in order to solve problems and communicate scientific
understanding of ideas about the driving forces in chemical reactions. Students should be provided with opportunities to engage with all the Working Scientifically skills throughout the
course.

Key inquiry questions
 Inquiry question: What energy changes occur in chemical reactions?
 Inquiry question: How much energy does it take to break bonds, and how much is released when bonds are formed?
 Inquiry question: How can enthalpy and entropy be used to explain reaction spontaneity?

Assessment overview
Assessment for Learning Assessment as Learning Assessment of Learning
Assessment for learning is evident throughout the unit program via formative There are student activities within this unit that allows for students self- There are several strategies that gather evidence of learning such as student
assessments and preassessments which are used to gauge student knowledge reflection. This is evident through activities such as 3,2,1 – reflection as well group work which requires them to create a video that models a certain

Discussion

The updated NSW Stage 6 Chemistry syllabus has been developed by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), it aims to provide

ample opportunity for students to develop life-long skills through meaningful learning (NESA, 2018). There is now a heavier emphasis on

Skills in working scientifically with 60% of the year 11 course component as opposed to 40% for Knowledge and understanding course

content. The overarching premise behind the updated syllabus is to equip students the necessary skills to thrive in Science based

environments. The skills and knowledge they learn are transferable and can be applied to different contexts such as higher education and/or

joining the work force (NESA, 2018). These changes have provided challenges as well as opportunities for educators to improve their

pedagogical practices. This design of this unit program is influenced by the theoretical framework of Understanding by Design as well as

takes a constructivist approach to student learning. It uses the three levels of representations to facilitate student learning as well as inquiry

based learning strategies to meet the overall premise of the new syllabus. Furthermore, this unit plan outlines the outcomes, assessments

and teaching and learning strategies that addresses Module 4: Drivers of reactions.

Understanding by Design (UbD) is a theoretical framework that has been used as a tool to guide the design process for this unit program.

Wiggins & McTighe (2005) posit that UbD focuses on assessing and teaching learners for understanding and knowledge transfer and this is

achieved through a backwards design model. Three core stages are evident through the UbD model, the first is to clearly define outcomes,
17976422 Irvin Cisneros 29
Secondary Curriculum 2 – Assignment 1 Unit program
followed by addressing the acceptable evidence to test if learners have met the outcomes. Finally, the learning instruction is realised to align

with the other stages (Wang & Allen, 2003; Wiggins & McTighe,2005). Instructional alignment between the three core stages should align

and reinforce each other to provide students a meaningful learning experience (Carnegie Mellon University, 2015). The UbD model is

evident in this unit program as the Stage 6 Chemistry syllabus outcomes for module 4 are first addressed. Secondly, the assessments are

clearly stated through assessment from learning, assessments for learning and assessments of learning. The unit program begins with a

preassessment that gauges the students’ prior knowledge and current understanding of the content, it is also a method to gather data to use

for differentiated instruction. Formative assessment occurs throughout the program and gives both the teacher and student opportunities to

reflect on learning. A summative assessment is also implemented through a collaborative group research task to foster deep learning, it

assesses the students towards the Working Scientifically and Knowledge and Understanding outcomes outlined in the syllabus (Pendergast

et al., 2010; Wiggins & McTighe, 2005. Furthermore, the instructional design portion of this unit program deeply aligns with the principles

of UbD as it integrates well with the first two stages of UbD. The learning experiences chosen in this unit program also align with the new

syllabus as it provides learners the opportunity to form connections and construct meaning in the learning process (Wang & Allen, 2003;

Wiggins & McTighe, 2005).

17976422 Irvin Cisneros 30


Secondary Curriculum 2 – Assignment 1 Unit program
A constructivist learning approach is also evident throughout the unit program via pedagogical learning techniques such as the Three Levels

of Representation which evidence has shown to have a positive impact on student retention of the content in Chemistry (Koopman, 2017;

Li & Arshad, 2014; Milenković, Segedinac & Hrin, 2014). The three Levels of Representation enhances student retention of knowledge by

providing multiple means of addressing the content, it allows students to view content through the macroscopic level, the microscopic level

as well as the symbolic level. At the macroscopic level, learners are able to perceive experiences through their senses which help provide a

basis for developing meaning. When learners view the same content at a microscopic level it helps reinforce and construct deep meaning to

concepts. Finally, when learners apply what they learned through the symbolic representation, they further elaborate on these concepts and

develop deep understanding (Koopman, 2017; Li & Arshad, 2014; Milenković, Segedinac & Hrin, 2014). The three levels of representation

are evident throughout this unit plan as it is used as a tool by to address new concepts and is a requirement in the instructional design as a

method to show evidence of student learning. In addition to the constructivist approach, the Five E’s model of instructional design is the

core method to design the learning experiences (Paily, 2013). The five E’s include Engaging the students with a hook that generates

curiosity and interest in a new topic, the Explore portion provides students the opportunities to develop skills and construct meaning in the

learning process. The explain portion allows student to express their level of understanding and for educators to clarify misconceptions. The

students then Elaborate on their new-found knowledge and skills by applying it to new situations. Finally, the evaluate portion allows for

17976422 Irvin Cisneros 31


Secondary Curriculum 2 – Assignment 1 Unit program
assessment as, for and of learning (Paily, 2013). The five E’s method was used almost as a template when designing instruction. It is an

excellent tool to use as it deeply aligns with the constructivist approach of student learning through meaning (Cheny & Sanders, 2011)

; which, further aligns with the concepts of UbD and the overarching premise of the new syllabus. The cross curriculum and general

capabilities are also addressed in this unit program through instructional design that calls for inquiry based learning through a collaborative

approach. The development of student’s literacy, numeracy and ICT skills are also reflected in this unit program, for example, students are

to create a video report which addresses the concept of entropy and includes chemical equations (Cheny & Sanders, 2011).

In conclusion, the structure of this unit program has been guided by theoretical learning frameworks such as UbD, constructivist approaches

like the 5E’s model as well as the three levels of representation. This has led to a unit program that is instructionally aligned between the

intended outcomes for learners, the assessment criteria’s, chosen learning experiences as well as the overarching premise of the new

syllabus. At the end of the module, learners will be able to retain the knowledge they have gained and transfer the skills they developed in

the future for academic success.
