description de l'activité / description of the activity :  The students first make teams of three then each student in the team is told either 0, 1, or 2. Each number group gathers and is given a sheet of subtopics to consider of their reaction order. The front board is split in three to have space for a summary from each group. After each summary is created I go through them with the class to make sure it's all good and they're on the same page. Then everyone returns to their original team of three and a problem set is given that requires knowledge of all three orders. Before a team leaves I ask an individual question to each member where the other two can't help. If they are wrong, incomplete, or just don't know then I say I'll come back and that they should discuss amongst each other. Once they're ready again I come back and ask the same question.

l'objectif de l'activité / the goal of the activity : To learn the integrated rate laws without direct instruction from me.
