Practice Bloom in your class room. RememberingMake a list of elements you know UnderstandingFrom a periodic table match these elements with their symbols and note down ApplyingMake a photocopy of blank PT(in the manual) and start filling it using different colours AnalyzingSeparate the blocks and class(metal, metalloid and non metal) in your P.T chart EvaluatingCompare your P.T with your friends and investigate the differences. CreatingOrganize your P.T with electronic configuration. Make some lyrics using symbol to learn first twenty elements. Also devise a class room P.T with your group by making flash cards.

Learning Objectives Analyzing Investigate the history of the elements & P.T by making its time-line and pie-charts Evaluating Compare the periodic laws, formats and conventions as a persuasive presentation Creating Construct the conceptual map. Devise your own Periodic Table using blank handout / flash cards.

My Action Plan

Goals To create an environment for the participants that enable them to think, analyze and make their own judgment. To add in new strategies of teaching. To emphasize more on conceptual learning. Short Term Chemistry teachers of DHA Institutions excel in cognitive approach and critical thinking Sharing of knowledge and subject discussion so that The knowledge dimensions be more enhanced. Long Term

ChallengeSolution This is the most challenging task as all the participants are Chemistry teachers who are teaching this topic in their respective classes for many years. The best solution is to utilize the techniques like D2L, JIT and Concept Mapping along with Intel Get Started.

SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVED IN CRITICAL THINKING Interpreting according to a framework Relating theory to practice Making a claim and supporting it Using appropriate evidence Making links between ideas Asking questions Evaluating Predicting Describing Analysing Synthesising Categorising Establishing cause and effect Comparing and contrasting Identifying problems and solutions

When Creativity hybridizes excellence & methodology in science & technology resultant yield is Chemistry. THE CENTRAL SCIENCE. Seema Khan
