Students are asked to create social media posts (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter) using texts, images, and short videos to explain the nomenclature and applications of these organic salts in a creative and engaging way.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group must choose two organic salts (sodium methanoate and sodium propanoate).

• Students should research the properties, uses, and structure of the chosen salts.

• Using cell phones and computers, create digital content (posts, videos) simulating publications from digital influencers, focusing on creatively and clearly explaining the nomenclature and applications of the salts.

• Share the created content in a private group or classroom platform, and discuss the posts as the class views them on the main screen.

Activity 2 - 🧩 Gamer Chemistry: Organic Salt Mission

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Promote active and collaborative learning through gamification, reinforcing knowledge about the nomenclature and applications of organic salts in a fun and interactive way.

- Description: Students will participate in a gamified activity to solve puzzles and challenges related to organic salts. Using an online quiz creation platform, such as Kahoot or Quizizz, each group will answer questions about the nomenclature and applications of organic salts to advance in the game and unlock additional information.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• The teacher should create an interactive quiz using a digital platform (Kahoot, Quizizz) with questions related to nomenclature, structure, and applications of organic salts.

• Each group uses their cell phones to access the quiz and answer the questions in real-time.

• Groups earn points as they answer questions correctly and advance in the game.

• After completing the quiz, discuss the correct answers and reinforce the main points using practical examples.

Activity 3 - 🔬 Augmented Reality: Exploring Organic Salts

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Facilitate the understanding of molecular structures and nomenclature of organic salts through interactive visualization in augmented reality, connecting theory and practice.
