The Great Wakonse Earthquake of 2003: A Short, Problem-Based Introduction to the Titration Concept
Brian P. Coppola, Amy C. Gottfried, Robyn L. Gdula, Alan L. Kiste, and Nathan W. Ockwig
Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1055

p. 600
Abstract
Titration is both an act and a concept. Using a collaborative-learning context, we created an activity that introduces new learners (nonscience adult learners) to the concept of titration from real-world instructions about earthquake water safety found in a California phone book.
Supplement
Handouts for the students, notes on titration, the coding scheme, and modifications for a power blackout are available.
