Save time and preparation work! You can try this microlearning lesson now, and then easily add the first chapter to your LMS for students to learn anytime, anywhere on their computer, tablet or smart phone. Automatically grades and enters scores into your LMS grade book. Pedagogically-effective, well-designed, quick and easy to use.
Microlearning is a way of delivering education in small learning units, typically allowing students to control their own learning, at their own pace. This self-contained lesson includes interactive links, activities, and a knowledge check quiz. Our microlearning lessons give you unlimited options so that you can choose how you want to use them, whether you decide to include them as part of your teaching or to use them independently.
Content This lesson is part of Liquids and Solids chapter, which is part of the Chemistry course. All content is rigorously peer-reviewed by educators. This lesson includes the following:
- An Introduction to Liquids and Solids
- An Introduction to The Solid State of Matter
- Ionic Solids
- Metallic Solids
- Covalent Network Solids
- Molecular Solids
- Properties of Solids
- Crystal Defects
- Summary
- Knowledge Check
Learning Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Define and describe the bonding and properties of ionic, molecular, metallic, and covalent network crystalline solids
- Describe the main types of crystalline solids: ionic solids, metallic solids, covalent network solids, and molecular solids
- Explain the ways in which crystal defects can occur in a solid
There are many ways to use microlearning, either before, during, or after class. Here are just a few ideas:
- Use it as homework.
- Use it as a personalized learning path: provide a selection of microlearning topics and let students choose 2 or 3.
- Use it before class, to gauge how prepared students are.
- Use it in class if devices are available.
- Use it collaboratively, either online or in class as group work.
- Use as a “wake up tool” to let students explore something on their own (and give yourself a break; you can even watch their scores coming in to the LMS!)
Happy Blending!
