Taxonomic Level: Application
The following is a fictional situation wherein a scientist is a lab is not utilizing

safe laboratory practises. Summarize both the mistakes the scientist is making
and ways to improve his performance in the lab. Highlight things like personal
protective equipment (PPE), chemical handling and storage practises,
instrumentation and WHIMIS information.
Larry the lab accident is mixing up a batch of dilute sulphuric acid (H 2SO4). He
enters the lab and begins immediately by removing the concentrated acid vial
marked H2SO4 from an unlocked cupboard with his bare hands while rocking a super
stylish ugly Christmas sweater, open toed sandals and his colored contacts. Larry,
without reading the remainder of the label on the vial, pours straight from the
concentrated acid container into the smallest round bottom flask he can find. He
notices its difficult to hold the RBF up and pour at the same time and that he has
managed to spill some acid on the counter and his favorite sweater. But like Larry
does, he just keeps on-keeping on. Larry sets the concentrated vial precariously
close to the edge of the counter before running over to the sink, turning the water
up to full blast and mistakenly filling past the mark. Knowing that the acid will now
be to dilute, Larry proceeds to pour the contents of his flask down the drain, before
accidentally dropping the RBF on the ground smashing it to pieces. Before anyone
notices whats happened, Larry has decided that he will head out for lunch and is in
too much of a rush to meet the guys, so cleaning up will have to wait.

For all of the above question please refer to the following outcomes, indicators
and levels of Blooms Taxonomy:
i. Select and apply proper techniques for handling and disposing of lab
materials, as outlined in Workplace Hazardous Materials 30 Physical
Science 20 Information System (WHMIS 1998 and WHMIS 2015)
standards, and interpret Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and
Safety Data Sheets (SDS). (K, STSE, A)

Student Summative Assessment Creation; Adaptations:

Adaptation: the changes made to instructional practises, materials or technology,
assessment strategies, curriculum content and the learning - environment in order
to meet the strengths needs and interests of individual students.
Some adaptations that could be used in the administration of this Quizam are
as follows. If students have difficulty with writing comprehension
capabilities/exceptionalities they may be paired with a paraeducator and allow the
use of a computer resource to answer the questions that require detail and/or
summarization. Assessment alterations can be made to better adapt the Quizam to
students with learning disabilities, in the manner that they may have the questions
simplified; i.e. simply name the atoms/compounds involved in some of the shown
unbalance reactions compared to completing the mathematical operations required
for balancing. Additionally, the learning environment can be better adapted for the
requirements of students that have difficulty preforming during tests in that they
may be allowed to write the test in a separate quiet/isolated location with a
paraeducator present, or be given additional time to complete the test If there are
extenuating circumstances. A final alteration to the assessment strategy may also
to be to incorporate a hands-on activity for active learners where and acid-base
neutralization reaction be carried out as a way of informally addressing the
evaluation of the learners degree of subject comprehension.

Student Summative Assessment Creation; Assessment Rational:

Outcome: PS20-FC1 Predict products of the five basic types of chemical reactions
and evaluate the impact of these reactions on society and the environment. [DM, SI]
In developing this particular model for assessment, I was looking to really key
and focus on the first component of the above curricular outcome relating to the
identification and manipulation of the five types of chemical reactions that students
in a Physical Science 20 class are exposed to. I wanted to find a way to define a
Quizam, which in the spirit of outcomes based assessment can be functionally
weighted as either a quiz or exam relative to the level of student achievement. That
worked on students ability to; recognize, symbolically represent and balance,
identify key characteristics of and even develop, these five types of reactions
(synthesis, combustion, decomposition, single replacement and double
replacement). In chemistry, a lot is made of the students capabilities to manipulate
chemical symbolisms, and decipher elaborate formulas both mathematically and
focally for nomenclature. I think its important yes for students to be able to do this,
however they also need to be able to see the process, to get a chemical formula
that may already even be balanced and identify the actual science that is
insinuated by the written symbols. The guidance provided by Blooms Taxonomy was
also key in the development of the types of questions that I wanted to present in
the Quizam. At times; students simply need to be able to know the materials
(knowledge), in this I hoped they would be able to recognize the types of reactions
as written. Other times; they needed to actually be able to apply and have a
comprehensible understanding of processes related to the development of those
same reactions (application/comprehension), such as it was with the balancing of
the reaction, forming products from reactants and, breakdown of the combustion
8
reaction. Lastly they needed to be able to; evaluate real world application of why
chemistry could have an effect on the practises they will come to exhibit and see
their educators demonstrate in a lab setting (evaluation), here I wanted to present
them with a case study that allows for a bit more critical -thinking and the
possibility for active learning comprehension.
