Station activities are to be completed in small groups and student centered. Each task should take 10-20 minutes to complete. We have been using Station Activities in our chemistry classes to differentiate instruction. As the implementation of the new science standards are in full swing, we have modified some of our activities to incorporate 3D learning and assess students’ capabilities and understanding of the chemistry DCI’s through these standards. We are in need of assessments that require students to make sense of phenomena using the three dimensions of NYSSLS. These assessments must be relevant and engaging, not just recall of information, but rather using their knowledge to figure something out. Students will use their knowledge of solution chemistry DCIs by demonstrating knowledge of tasks using the SEP’s and CCC through different station activities. These stations are used as a way to formatively assess student understanding of solution chemistry.
