SOLO Taxonomy

1. SOLO Taxonomy

5. SOLO Taxonomy • Structure of Observed Learning Outcome • 5 stages • Focuses on knowledge, understanding, application and synoptic linking

7. Prestructural: I am not sure about… Knowledge Unistructural: I have one idea about… Multistructural: I have several ideas about… Relational: I have several ideas about…. I can link them together Understanding Extended Abstract: I have several ideas about… I can link them together.. and apply them to another context

10. Prestructural • ‘Atomic radius increases. More particles in nucleus means bigger atoms’ • Or……. • ‘I have no idea about atomic radius’

11. Unistructural • ‘Atomic radius decreases left to right in the periodic table.’

12. Multistructural • ‘Atomic radius decreases left to right in the Periodic Table. 1stIonisation energy increases left to right in the Periodic Table.’

13. Relational • ‘Atomic radius decreases left to right because nuclear charge increases but shielding stays the same. Electrons are pulled closer and so ionisation energy increases.’

14. Extended Abstract • ‘Atomic radius decreases left to tight because nuclear charge increases but shielding stays the same. Electrons are pulled closer and so ionisation energy increases. This also explains why electronegativity of fluorine is so high. It has a small radius and so electrons will be strongly attracted to it’s nucleus.’
