Sharing a Voltaic Cell Lab By Jen Just

This lab was designed as part of a course assignment on Metacognition in Chemistry. The rationale on design was carefully considered to ensure students would get a stronger conceptual understanding of the abstract voltaic cell concept and truly think about what results they are obtaining. The original part 1 lab is based on the lab in the Science 20 textbook (Alberta Education) while part 2 is an extension from the American Association of Chemistry Teachers digital voltaic cell lab for students to see STS applications of the topic, and encourage deeper conceptual understanding.
