| The electrochemistry unit is an important part of the Advanced Placement Chemistry curriculum. By engaging the students in a variety of activities: laboratory investigations, demonstrations and Internet activities, they were able to learn the material and make the best use of a block schedule. The use of technology is also stressed. The findings of this investigation are based upon a pre-test and post-test assessment, laboratory questions, a quiz and a student survey. A significant increase in student achievement suggests that these activities were worthwhile in terms of learning the material for the advanced placement exam and that the students enjoyed performing them. |
