Leigh-Anne and anyone else,
I have an activity that I created this year for stoichiometry. Kids
work in pairs to solve as many stoichiometry problems as possible in
a set time (20-30 minutes). They have to get up, get a card that's on
a wall, bring it back to their table, and then work out the
stoichiometry problem. Before they can get another card, they have to
complete the card they have, and get me (the teacher) to stamp their
paper when they've done it right.
Sounds hokey, but kids were so into it in my first-year chem classes
that they were running around the class to get more stoichiometry
problems.
E-mail me if you want the files.
