Item analysis on Intermolecular Forcees and Heating Curves Quiz

According to Cascade,  students struggled with Numbers 7-9 most.

Number 7 - Is this an understanding polarity concern, a test question concern or a sequence or instruction concern. 
Number 8 - Need to review that topic more thoroughly and teach with more repetitiveness.   Perhaps be more clear or write the sentences differently.

These questions (7-8) may need to be moved to the next unit. It may be better suited with the solubility unit.

Number 6 - Students probably saw "Weakest" and chose A-B and because it was at the bottom of the graph.  They don't know the heating curve or they didn't look at the graph and assumed that weak meant low. 

Need to look at more graphs for next year, particularly for the ACT.
