Activity Suggestions

Activity Recommendations

Activity 1 - Chemical Influencers: The Acyl Halide Campaign

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: Enhance understanding of acyl halides, their properties, and applications through a contemporary and relevant approach, using digital communication.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will step into the shoes of digital chemistry influencers, crafting a social media campaign to creatively showcase and explain the properties and applications of acyl halides.

- Instructions:

• Group students into teams of up to 5.

• Select a social media platform (like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube) for your campaign.

• Research different applications of acyl halides and highlight a few in your posts.

• Create a series of content (videos, posts, stories) that explain what acyl halides are, how they form, and their applications, employing visual elements and clear language.

• Incorporate relevant hashtags and strategise engagement to reach a wider audience.

• Once the campaign is complete, each group will present their materials to the class and explain their strategy and key learnings.

Activity 2 - Scientific Mission: Solve the Acyl Halide Mystery

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: Facilitate knowledge of acyl halides interactively and playfully, utilising gamification to engage learners.

- Deskripsi Activity: In this gamified task, students will embark on a scientific mission to solve puzzles and tasks that reveal the mystery of how acyl halides are formed and used.

- Instructions:

• Form groups of up to 5.

• Provide each group with a set of puzzles to tackle on an educational gamification platform (like Kahoot, ClassCraft, or Google Forms).

• Puzzles will require identifying the structural features of acyl halides, their formation from carboxylic acids, and their industrial applications.

• Each correctly solved puzzle earns points, allowing the group to progress to the next level of the mission.

• Upon completion, groups will summarise their findings, emphasising the properties and significance of acyl halides.

Activity 3 - Chemical Podcast: Exploring Acyl Halides

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: Encourage communication and collaboration skills while deepening understanding about acyl halides via a relevant media format.

- Deskripsi Activity: In this activity, students will create a podcast episode discussing acyl halides, covering their properties, formation, and applications. This content will be edited and shared with the class.

- Instructions:

• Organise students into groups of up to 5.

• Each group should plan and script a podcast episode, covering topics such as acyl halide structures, formation, and industry applications.

• Students will research to gather accurate information for the podcast.

• Using phones or computers, students will record, edit, and produce the podcast episode.

• Encourage creativity by including fictional interviews with famous chemists, soundtracks, and sound effects.

• After production, each group will present their podcast to the class, leading into a discussion on the content covered.

Feedback

Duration: (20 - 25 minutes)

This stage aims to consolidate what students learned by sharing experiences and reflections, fostering collaboration, effective communication, and critical thinking, while promoting an inclusive and supportive learning atmosphere.

Group Discussion

Facilitate a class discussion where groups share their insights from the activities they completed. Use this outline to guide the conversation:

1. Introduction: Have each group summarise the main insights and learnings from their activities.
2. Depth: Ask groups about the strategies they used for their campaigns, solving puzzles, or producing their podcasts. Invite them to share challenges they faced and their solutions.
3. Application: Discuss how the knowledge gained about acyl halides can be applied in real-life settings, both in and out of school.
4. Connections: Encourage students to link the topic studied with other areas in organic chemistry and its implications in everyday life and industry.

Reflections

1. How did social media and gamification influence your learning about acyl halides? 2. What new skills or knowledge did you gain from the activities, and how could this be beneficial for you in the future? 3.
