How to Perform and Interpret a Splint Test BSUBob2008 2008-12-08 | Description: Many reactions give off gas, but without extensive equipment, is it possible to determine what type of gas is given off. The answer to this question is yes. If a splint test is performed in the presence of carbon dioxide, the splint will be extinguished. Likewise, if a splint test is performed in the presence of oxygen, the flame will stay lit, with no notable difference. If hydrogen is present, a third observation can be made, that of a pop and quick spark. This video demonstrates how to safely perform a splint test and how to interpret the results.

Special Effects Video - Time Lapse BSUBob2008 2008-11-18 | Video Description: My special effects video. I took several videos of North High School hallways from the time the classes emptied until the times the halls cleared and spliced them together. I then increased the speed to 12x normal on the playback. Music credit to Rage Against the Machine for their song "Bulls on Parade" which is what reminds me of our hallways. Instructional Objective: By the end of the video, viewers will understand the chaos that is the hallways at North High School Technique and Software Used: Time Lapse video. I created the video by splicing together 8 clips and then using windows movie maker to increase the play speed. The camera I used did not have interval settings, so this was my only option.

Cognitive Domain Video - Observation BSUBob2008 2008-09-16 | Description: Observation is the most underrated skill in all of science and perhaps all of the world. If people would spend an extra minute a day observing the world around them, they would notice more and learn more about life than ever before. I have provided a demonstration of the first demonstration (a reaction of Zinc and Hydrochloric Acid) and first lab activity (Observation of an unlit and lit candle) I do with my students during the year. I try to emphasize how important all observations are with them, no matter how small or trivial they may seem to be. My hope is to one day find or invent an even better observation lab activity so that I may make practical use of this video within my classroom. However, nothing beats seeing it in person. Content Area: General Chemistry Instructional Objective: After viewing this video (or in the case of my students, my demonstration and lab activity), students will be able to define the terms qualitative and quantitative and provide examples of each when prompted. Students will also be able to appreciate the skill of observation and describe a situation in which they stopped for a brief moment to observe something they would not normally have witnessed. Learner Description: This video is targeted at 11th and 12th grade chemistry students. However, as I tell my students the first day of class, the content itself is not as important as the process. Anyone can view this video and take away from it that observation is a tremendous and useful skill. Therefore, the audience for this video is actually all learners.
