Reflection

: By the end of this lesson, all the learning objectives were achieved; the students were able to identify

the cations and anions that chosen to be discharge at anode and cathode. The students also were able wrote the halfequation occurred at cathode and anode. Other than that, the students also able to predict the products of electrolysis
of an aqueous solution based on the half-equation. These were proof by the activity which done during the application
of ideas phase. Almost the students can answer the question correctly. Thus, there is no extra class will be doing to
re-teach the students rather by giving homework to ensure they understands more about this subtopic.
