Action+Research+Plan

Action Reasearch Plan Here are the areas on which I focused on in my Action Research Plan:

Lowest Standard: Ninth and Eleventh graders at Parker High School scored the lowest on Standard 9-12.P.1.5A. Students are able to examine energy transfer as matter changes. The students should be able to determine D H, D G, D S for thermo-chemical equations, calculate energy involved in phase changes, compare the specific heats of various substances, describe physical and chemical processes that result in endothermic and exothermic changes, and describe energy transfer as matter changes from one phase to another. Plan: I will integrate 21st Century Skills and Tools into my lesson plans for the Standard 9-12.P.1.5A. Students are able to examine energy transfer as matter changes. Administer pre and post tests over the standard to evaluate student understanding. Use activities and formative assessment in the classroom throughout the year to emphasize the use of data in students lives to check for an understanding of the statistics standard.

Results: Here is a copy of the results of the pretest and the posttest. I have included my thoughts on the results as well. 11th grade Chemistry Class Second period Physical Science Seventh period Physical Science
