Memorizing common polyatomic ions (nitrate, sulfate, carbonate, etc.), while not required, can help students save valuable time during the AP Chemistry exam.
Typically, teachers might give a simple fill-in-the-blank quiz where students have to write the formula for each polyatomic ion, given its name. With Flint, these assessments can be made to give students adaptive practice, depending on which ions they’re struggling to remember.
Below, we can see that the teacher has uploaded a list of common polyatomic ions that they’d like their students to memorize the formulas for:
The AI tutor created by the teacher will automatically go through the list of ions in the PDF and quiz students on the formula and charge of each ion.
To evaluate deeper understanding, the teacher can use the “revise” feature to update the underlying prompts for the AI tutor to change its behavior.
Furthermore, the teacher can set this tutor as the default AI tutor for their AP Chemistry class, meaning that students can easily access it 24/7 for extra practice.
Students engage via back and forth chat messages with the AI, where they are quizzed on the formula and charge of each polyatomic ion. When students get an answer wrong, the AI will give them extra help without giving away the answer.
Students also have the ability to ask follow-up questions to deepen their understanding, even by providing images to the AI, either via upload or webcam capture.
