Mrs. Henkel & Mr. Jahnke - Conceptual Chemistry

Mr. Jahnke and Mrs. Henkel have been coteaching Conceptual Chemistry together for two consecutive years. During this time a new curriculum has been developed that promotes inquiry learning through collaborative activities, labs and teacher led instruction. Each unit is designed to relate concepts students experience in everyday life in connection with chemistry to deepen student learning within the context of their daily living.

Students work collaboratively as they develop new thinking skills related to more complex areas of science. students begin to relate that science, although separate in disciplines , is always related in some form to each other. Students are assessed in a variety of ways including group projects, lab reports, summative assessments, and individual products. Mr. Jahnke and Mrs. Henkel work hard to ensure that all activities, labs and tests used in class are meaningful for our students in rigor while also ensuring best practice in universal design takes places for all students to achieve.
