"Visualizations In Teaching Chemistry" Over the course of three weeks a series of lessons and activities were performed What is the effect of ChemViz on the teaching of high school chemistry? http://chemviz.ncsa.uiuc.edu/content/about-eval.html

David Pearson , Lisa Bievenue Carole S. Chang , Steven D. Nelson and Spencer L. Pasero NCSA, University of IllinoisUrbana-Champaign Michigan State University Chemistry Department, University of IllinoisUrbana-Champaign The motivation This project, Visualizations in Teaching Chemistry (ChemViz), grew out of the quest to discover ways to render certain basic concepts of chemistry more vivid and visible to young learners. Due to the microscopic nature of chemistry, many of its basic constructs and processes are "invisible" to students. The projects original principal investigator, Dr. Nora Sabelli, a professor of chemistry, pointed out the contrast between chemistry and physics and biology education (Sabelli, 1991): In physics and biology, mechanistic simulations have been used and studied extensively, whereas in chemistry we cannot draw on students' previous intuition to aid in their understanding. We all learn over a long time the intuitive skills needed to count, measure, gauge speed and force, understand motion, birth, death and growth, among other concepts. These concepts (and associated misconceptions) are macroscopic in nature and therefore observable; this is not true of many of the basic concepts of modern chemistry as it is taught now, even at the introductory level. When we see chemical reactions (cooking, moving cars, sun-burning, healing) we do not see what we are taught in chemistry and therefore, often enough we do not see chemistry at all.

Auburn University - March 4 5, 2005 Inservice The topic of the inservice is Teaching Science via Inquiry Based Instruction . Even though the activities will be on the subject of chemistry we are http://www.auburn.edu/ausim/inservice0305.htm
Extractions: Hey Chemistry and Physics Teachers, Our next inservice will be a two day inservice on Friday March 4th and Saturday March 5th. We will start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. both days at Alabama State University in Montgomery. (See below for driving directions) The topic of the inservice is Teaching Science via Inquiry Based Instruction . Rebecca Richardson (one of the original Chemistry van drivers who serves the Montevallo region) will be taking us through some Chemistry activities as she demonstrates the use of Inquiry methods in teaching. Participants will divide up into groups and each group member will take on different roles as they work their way through different activities. Even though the activities will be on the subject of Chemistry we are encouraging the Physics teachers to participate in this inservice as the real goal is to learn how to apply Inquiry method to teaching. We will also be developing new Inquiry based activities for both Chemistry and Physics. To aid with the development of these new activities we are asking that you please bring (1) your chemistry or physics textbook and (2) a list of 3 or 4 subjects that you find difficult to teach, or have problems finding support materials for when teaching in the classroom. We will of course provide lunch, substitute reimbursements for Friday, stipends for Saturday and travel expenses. Woo hoo....and we can now reimburse you $0.425 / mile. Much better than our old cruddy $0.375 / mile!

Chemistry Pathfinder 1995, Teaching chemistry with Toys activities for Grades K9 This wonderful bookis divided into grade levels and each lesson provides key science topics, http://w3.byuh.edu/library/curriculum/Chemistry/Chemistry.htm
Extractions: As defined in the dictionary, chemistry is a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and of the transformations that they undergo. Chemistry is in the world all around us, but you may not know how many everyday activities or even games are based on chemistry. For instance, did you know that making and blowing bubbles or mixing the colors you use to paint with are examples of Chemical activity? Even baking something in the oven is performing a chemical act. These types of activities prove that everyone uses chemistry and can even have fun doing it. Let this pathfinder be your guide in discovering the wonders of chemistry with activities and wonderful experiments that can expand your knowledge and maybe even inspire the Chemist inside of you.

Extractions: LIFE IS AN EXPLORATION (AND FUN) SCIENCE IS AN EXPLORATION (AND FUN) EDUCATION SHOULD BE ... AN EXPLORATION, AND FUN Among the great ironies of our culture is that science, a fundamentally open-ended and exploratory activity, is frequently taught so much as a body of "facts" that many students become estranged from science, and most are deprived of an opportunity to have experiences which strengthen and reinforce their own inclination to experiment, question, and explore ... both the world outside and themselves. Materials presented here are aimed at finding ways to make science education, and education in general, more exploratory, and more fun. For K-12 Teachers Pedagogical Discussions Brain and Education For College Faculty ... Links I believe that education must be conceived as a continuing reconstruction of experience, that the process and the goal of education are the same thing. I believe that education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.

Extractions: ^top hope college academic departments chemistry ... Prospective Students Teaching - Dr. Joanne Stewart Teaching Schedule for Dr. Stewart I joined the Department of Chemistry at Hope College in Holland,Michigan in the summer of 1988. My professional interests are in chemistry research and science teaching. A common theme in my work has been to try to join these two interests together. In other words, I have tried to work on projects where teaching is research and research is teaching. My first science teaching at Hope primarily involved the introductory chemistry course. It quickly became apparent that there were as many reasons for taking introductory chemistry as there were students in the class, and I wanted to engage them all and help them all to be successful. As a participant in the first Teaching Enhancement Workshop at Hope, I was introduced to learning styles , which led to an interest in cooperative learning and other active learning approaches, which eventually led to giving faculty development workshops on these topics. In the mid- and late-1990's, I participated in the NSF-sponsored ChemLinks coalition (now ChemConnections ), which developed wonderful new materials that use real-world questions and active learning to teach college chemistry. Initially, I was part of a ChemLinks pedagogy group that provided support for the development of active learning strategies. Eventually, a student and I wrote a general
Statement On Scholarship In Chemistry For example, the scholarship of teaching for a chemistry professor may lead topeerreviewed However, other teaching-related scholarship activities, http://www.as.ysu.edu/~slbretz/cer/scholStatement.htm
Extractions: In addition to discovery research, scholarship in the chemical sciences and engineering includes the integration, application, and teaching of chemical sciences and engineering principles and practices. This expanded definition recognizes that valuable scholarship in any of these areas requires originality, creativity, a thorough grounding in the previous accomplishments of other scholars, and effective communication of new contributions in peer-reviewed publications. Background The foundation for all careers in the chemically related sciences and engineering is a sound undergraduate program in chemistry. To an ever-increasing extent, those who teach undergraduates are also being called on to prepare students for a wide variety of interdisciplinary enterprises that require a high level of problem-solving skills and the ability to assimilate new information and content knowledge. In addition, as emphasized in the National Science Foundationís (NSF) Shaping the Future , a comprehensive review of undergraduate science education, science departments bear the responsibilities of preparing teachers, engendering the appreciation of science needed for an educated citizenry, and providing a view of science that will prepare future decision makers to act in the best interests of society.
Chemistry Demonstrations To Enhance Teaching And Learning chemistry demonstrations to enhance teaching and learning skills or behaviourof the students were insufficient to attempt particular activities safely. http://www.chemsoc.org/networks/learnnet/cldemo.htm
Extractions: Please read the notes below before entering the site: Welcome to the Royal Society of Chemistry chemical demonstrations site. This site gives descriptions and instructions for carrying out a variety of chemical demonstrations that will be useful in schools and colleges. Some of the demonstrations involve extremely vigorous reactions and / or very hazardous substances. These demonstrations should not be carried out by students. They should be carried out only by experienced chemistry teachers who have safely carried out reactions such as Thermite reactions, hydrogen reductions of copper oxide or the reactions of alkali metal with water many times. Teachers should understand the need for rigid adherence to control measures and have access to appropriate safety equipment such as safety screens and fume cupboards. Technicians preparing material for these experiments should also have appropriate experience. If in doubt about your competence to carry out a particular experiment, do not attempt it Teachers should not be tempted to vary the procedures described and, in particular, they should not increase amounts of chemicals or change the reagents from those stated in the methods described.
