  July 16, 2024 | Lab & Safety, Teaching Methods Virtual Summer Symposium: Creating and Carrying out Targeted Labs Mark as Favorite (8 Favorites)

  Labs can take many forms during a chemistry or physical science class. Students can use them to investigate a phenomenon or gather evidence to explain a concept. While many labs exist, coming up with new ideas can be difficult. During this symposium, hear from several teachers about how they decide if a lab is worth incorporating, how to come up with ideas for new labs, and how to gauge student learning during a lab.

  July 28, 2020 | Teaching Methods, Teaching Resources Virtual Summer Symposium: Integrating Green Chemistry and Sustainability into Chemistry Education Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  This symposium is co-organized with Andy Dicks and Lloyd Bastin and will highlight the incorporation of green chemistry and sustainability principles throughout the chemistry curriculum as well as through co-curricular activities such as clubs, organizations and service-learning opportunities. The focus will be on green chemistry and sustainability materials and models rooted in the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry that are designed to educate high school, community college, four year college and graduate students. These materials will include classroom teaching modules/courses, learning methods, educational research, laboratory experiments and experiences, and the integration of toxicology into the chemistry curriculum. This session will highlight collaborations between K-12 educators and academic partners.

  July 07, 2020 | Teaching Methods, Teaching Resources, Advanced Chemistry, Technology Virtual Summer Symposium: Simulations to Enhance Chemical Instruction Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In order to gain understanding of chemical principles, students need to be exposed to concepts in multiple ways. Some simulations can be used to help students visualize chemistry at the particle level while others can be used to model laboratory procedures. In this symposia, various online simulations and accompanying lesson ideas will be shared that are versatile for both in person and online instruction.
