2Teacher Assessment Scheme
- What ?
- Why ?
- How ?
- When ?
- Who ?
3Belief
- Chemistry is a practical subject
- Theory ?close linking? practical
- Learning through experiments
4- Practical chemistry can be used to consolidate
the knowledge of chemistry. - TAS allows room for other learning activities.
- TAS 20 of Examination marks of whole subject.
5Problem concerned
- Fair????
- How to make the greatest benefit to our students
from TAS
6Proper arrangement
- School authority (time-table)
- (a) 3-periods (afternoon)
- (b) 2-periods (afternoon)
- Students belief
- Colleagues co-operation
7Problems caused from TAS
- For students
- Too much experiments (compared with A-L Biology
or Physics) complained by students - Work load too large (Report Writing)
- Fair assessment ??
8- For teacher
- Limited time in teaching
- Limited time in marking experiment reports
- How to choose some good experiments for our
students - Poor learning behavior
9How to run A-L Chemistry TAS smoothly ????
- Let students fully understand the whole picture
of TAS - ? number of experiments required
- ? assessment what
- how
- when
- who
- which
-
10The Whole Picture of AL Chemistry

AL Chemistry (??????)
Advanced Level Chemistry builds on (??)the
foundations (??) of the HKCE chemistry knowledge

12(No Transcript)
13Good arrangement of experiments (F.6)
- Experiments are divided into 5 main areas
- 4 Quantitative Analysis (1A 1B)
- 4 Qualitative Analysis (1A 1B)
- 4 Kinetic (1A 1B)
- 4 Equilibrium (1A 1B)
- 4 Other (1A)
14Strengthening the confidence of students
- Teach them how to write a good report
- Good preparation work for experiment
- ? pre-lab worksheet
- ? pre-lab oral questions
- ? group presentation and discussion
- Project
15Strengthening the confidence of teachers
- Well prepared for experiment (pre-lab)
- Collecting interesting / useful experiment manual
- ? cdi (chemistry)/universities website
- ? book suppliers
- ? reference book
- ? attending seminars
- ? sharing experience with other teachers
-
16Project Problem???
- What kinds of topic for our students ??
- ? various topics chosen by students
- ? one main topic assigned by teachers
17Guide line
- Not increasing extra workload too much
- Fair assessment
18Seeking resources
- from Hong Kong Chemistry Olympid
- from seminars / workshops (CDI/HKEAA/Universities
etc..) - Resources books (CDI)
- Journals (oversea or mainland etc)
-
19Some authentic investigations are meaningful to
students (CDI)
- Investigation of the different brands of drain
cleaners. - Study the vitamin C in fruits and drinks.
- Study the oxygen absorber in packages of moon
cakes etc ....
20Project Base Learning (case study)
- To develop an interest in and enjoyment from the
study of Chemistry - To identify problems from given situation and
devise method to test them. - To explore students scientific insight.
21Students work
- to read the text books / reference books
- to discuss the case
- to identify the problems
- to devise the method
- to carry on spot test and do experiment in
laboratory
22Teachers work
- to give some comments to the methods designed by
students - to prepare the apparatus and test reagents
- to seek the help from university staff
23Fieldtrip river water analysis
24Doing experiments in University
25Explore the scientific insight trace analysis
of heavy metal
26Students feedback
- Case study is full of challenge.
- Fresh hand in the trace analysis of heavy metal
with AA is very exciting. - Doing experiments in Universitys laboratory is
quite exciting. - Exploring the scientific insight is quite
satisfactory.
27Analysis of Wrap and Microwave Wrap or other
plastic sheets by IR
28Outcome
- The dream comes true !!
- Try !!!
