Activity Suggestions

It is recommended that only one of the suggested activities be carried out

Activity 1 - 🎬 'Chemistry Influencers' - Acyl Halide Advertising Campaign

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Promote understanding of the nomenclature of acyl halides through a creative approach connected to social media, encouraging scientific communication in a playful and collaborative manner.

- Description: Students will create an advertising campaign in the style of digital influencers, using platforms like Instagram or TikTok, to explain the nomenclature of acyl halides. The campaign should include short videos, posts, and stories that creatively and didactically explain how to name these compounds according to IUPAC and their importance in chemistry and industry.

- Instructions:

• Divide students into groups of up to 5 people.

• Each group must choose a digital influencer or create a fictitious profile for the campaign.

• Using social media platforms (Instagram or TikTok), students should create a series of short videos (1 to 2 minutes) explaining the nomenclature of acyl halides.

• In addition to the videos, create posts and stories with graphics, images, and textual explanations.

• Students must use relevant hashtags and engage fictitious followers by answering questions and commenting on other posts.

• At the end, each group shares their campaign with the class, highlighting the key points of nomenclature and the creativity used in the explanation.

Activity 2 - 📸 'Chemistry in Real Life' - Virtual Treasure Hunt

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Encourage the practical application of chemical knowledge in students' daily lives and develop research and digital documentation skills.

- Description: Students will participate in a digital treasure hunt where they must find examples of acyl halides in everyday products and identify their IUPAC nomenclature. Using their phones and the internet, students will research and document their findings, creating a digital portfolio with photos and descriptions.

- Instructions:

• Divide students into groups of up to 5 people.

• Each group should use their phones to research and find examples of acyl halides in everyday products (cosmetics, medications, cleaning products, etc.).

• Students should take photos of the found products and note the corresponding IUPAC nomenclature.

• Create a digital portfolio (using Google Slides or another similar tool) with the photos and descriptions of the found compounds.

• At the end, each group should present their portfolio to the class, explaining how they identified the acyl halides and their IUPAC nomenclature.

Activity 3 - 🎮 'Virtual Escape Room' - Organic Functions Challenge

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Stimulate problem-solving, teamwork, and the practical application of knowledge about the nomenclature of acyl halides in a playful and interactive virtual environment.

- Description: Students will participate in a virtual escape room where they must solve a series of challenges and puzzles related to the nomenclature of acyl halides to 'escape' from a virtual lab. Using online tools, students will collaborate in real-time to decipher clues and complete tasks.

- Instructions:

• Divide students into groups of up to 5 people.

• Create a virtual classroom using platforms like Google Classroom or Zoom, where the challenges and puzzles will be presented.

• Each group must access a set of puzzles and tasks related to the nomenclature of acyl halides, which may include riddles, codes, and problems to be solved.

• Students should collaborate in real-time to decipher clues and solve challenges.

• The group that solves all the puzzles first 'escapes' the lab and wins a symbolic prize.

• At the end, discuss with the class the solutions to the puzzles and reinforce the concepts learned during the activity.

Feedback

Duration: 15 - 20 minutes

🎯 The purpose of this stage is to promote reflection and consolidation of learning through the exchange of experiences and feedback among students. By sharing their discoveries and challenges, students can deepen their understanding, reinforce collaborative ties, and develop communication and self-criticism skills.

Group Discussion

🗣️ Promote a group discussion where all students can share what they learned from the activities. To start, the teacher can use the following script:

Start by thanking everyone for their participation and recalling the goal of the activities undertaken. Ask each group to present a summary of their advertising campaigns, the examples found during the treasure hunt, and the solutions to the escape room puzzles. Encourage students to discuss the difficulties they encountered and how they overcame them. Ask students to reflect on how the use of social media and digital tools impacted their learning and whether they think this could be useful in other areas of knowledge.

Reflections

1. 📚 How did creating advertising campaigns and the digital treasure hunt help to better understand the nomenclature of acyl halides? 2. 🤔 What were the biggest challenges during the virtual escape room and how did you solve them? 3. 💡 How did interaction with digital tools and social networks influence your way of learning chemistry?

360° Feedback

🔄 Conduct a 360° feedback stage where each student should receive feedback from their classmates. Guide the class to follow these guidelines for constructive and respectful feedback:

Be Specific: Talk about specific behaviors and attitudes. Be Constructive: Present critiques positively, suggesting improvements. Be Respectful: Maintain a friendly and respectful tone, valuing the contributions of peers. Be Reciprocal: Everyone should participate, offering and receiving feedback.
