Open-ended instruction under discussion : 設計一實驗，以比較三種水果(甲、乙、丙)的還原糖含量

1. 把橙榨汁(切開，用手作榨汁器榨汁)

2. 把 3c.c. 的橙汁用針筒注入試管(其餘兩種水果一樣)

3. 標示水果名稱

4. 把本立德溶液逐滴加入，直至果汁變色

5. 如此類推，其餘兩種水果做相同的步驟。

6. 加入最少滴試劑的果汁而能變色的，還原糖的含量就最高。

**經同學反詰後修正： 加 2cc本立德溶液在 2cc果汁中，再放入沸水溶液。得出紅色沉澱物後用灑紙過濾，濾紙乾後，用電子磅秤量沉澱物。

比較三種水果沉澱物的重量，愈多沉澱物，表示還原糖愈多。

Group presentationGroup presentation

The groups make presentation.(take turns OR only some groups are chosen)

Other groups make cross-examination i.e. ask them questions to seek clarification

The presenters discuss the questions at once and respond to the questions.

Other groups could offer suggestions.

題目：設計一實驗以比較三種水果(甲、乙、丙)的還原糖含量？

各組給第八組同學的意見：

組別 學號 意見 匯報者的回應

2 3111 實驗裏，為何要逐滴加入本立德溶液？ 應該用針筒量度

7 3110 沒有量度果汁總量，不能比較水果內的總糖量

試管果汁份量是一樣。**

7 3110 為何未在沸水中加熱 忘了

10 3126 怎知道沉澱物多少？ 用眼看，比較誰多

10 3102 根據沉澱物轉色，不能知其多少還原糖。 同意(小組立刻商量)，後指出應量度紅色沉澱物的份量

3 3121 沉澱物上的渣滓是否影響量度葡萄糖的含量？

不知如何回答#

**老師引導：第八組應量度每個水果的總果汁量 #老師：假設那渣滓份量微細，故不作計算。

請向第六組同學提出你的意見

8 1318 海棉的吸水力與方便清潔沒有關係

8 1319 用藥棉測試它的吸水量比海棉還更有用途呢！

10 1339 拿起的時候會掉下一些水，便結果不準確。

1 1307 目的是方便主婦清潔，而海綿是把污漬去除與吸水力有關嗎?

1 1336 你們可以用燒杯的

5 1321 你們不一定用量筒量度，可以用燒杯

4 1326 控制要滴水準確就是成功的主項

5 1311 如何令海棉的體積完全一樣?

5 1329 現在的家庭主婦都用布來清潔吧，那海棉是百中不用的

4 1309 把海棉剪開，體積會因此有差別

2 1328 你應事前準備好，才做實驗。資料不詳細

1 1322 我看見你們海棉大小不一樣，怎樣量度?

2 1323 海棉放在水褢 30 秒和 5 秒有什麼分別?不用在水這麼久。

What is the change in What is the change in teaching and learning?teaching and learning?

Students become active learners.

Teachers become facilitators. They make judgement if necessary, highlight and summarize main points

Design an experiment to show how to make an egg float in water

We got 4 suggestions from students and they discovered something novel in each of them

Different suggestions from studentsDifferent suggestions from students

1. Use the upthrust from running water 2. Put egg in acid to produce carbon

dioxide which will make egg float3. Add salt to water to increase density of water4. Use an stale egg5. Yet Students discovered another method when they tried out method 1……

What is the new method they discovered ?

Please pay attention to the first 10 seconds in the video.

The new methodThe new method that students discovered is …. that students discovered is ….

When running water hit on the egg

directly ,the egg floated.

This is a phenomenon in Physics , same as the pressure difference that lifts up the wings of planes.

The activity also initiated the The activity also initiated the curiosity curiosity of studentsof students

“Will the gas produced from the acid and shell of egg buoy up the egg ?”

Students asked.

“Let’s try out!”

(Though the answer is not accepted by the teacher as acid is not water.)

Aims of these activitiesAims of these activitiesNurture analytical thinking skills

培養批判思維能力

Initiates curiosity and creativity 誘發好奇心，展示創意

Improve communication skills (verbal presentation skills) 勇於表達意見，學習當中技巧

F.1 – F.3 still have their F.1 – F.3 still have their syllabus, so …….syllabus, so …….

We have these activities once three weeks on average.

Seems time-consuming but worthwhile.

InIn recent yearsrecent years

More and more open-ended questions have appeared in public exam.CE AL

.

Our students may benefit from these learning activities because we encourage them to try to answer open-ended instructions
