Chemistry Teacher Question:

Things don't always go according to plan and it is wise to be able to quickly notice and adapt a lesson. A: For example, I designed a lesson plan around an apartment analogy to teach students how to populate electrons around the nucleus of an element. Even though I ran my idea for the poster project by my lesson planning team, when I actually did it with my students I saw too many not understanding the steps. R: I reflected on the gaps and revised the guided practice portion to give more opportunities together. The next class had more success creating and using their posters to write electron configurations.
