Webinar participants learn about The POGIL Project, the philosophy which supports POGIL pedagogy, and the value of the POGIL instruction. Attendees will receive information about how start POGIL in their classroom, where to find instruction resources, and information about local workshops.
October 20, 2015 | Advanced Chemistry Spectroscopy
Presented by AACT and the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), this webinar is targeted at middle and high school teachers. It addresses what spectroscopy is, how it fits into the curriculum at each level, the theory behind it, what it is good for, and how it can be done in the classroom.
October 15, 2015 | Teaching Resources NGSS and Middle School Chemistry
Learn about simple inexpensive middle school lessons you can do with students that address the Next Generation Science Standards. We’ll discuss components of standard MS-PS1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
October 08, 2015 | Teaching Resources molympics and the Use of Social Media for Collaboration
We teach it, some celebrate it, and we try to make it engaging for our students. What is it? The mole concept and Mole Day! So how do we make it engaging for our students? Kristin and Doug introduce #molympics—an idea started on Twitter that resulted in five activities (events) not very different from what most chemistry teachers do in their own classrooms.
September 30, 2015 | Advanced Chemistry Linking Chemistry and Drug Action
This webinar presents four AP and IB topics—hydrogen bonding, equilibrium, first-order kinetics, and acidity—and their applications to the discovery of new pharmaceuticals. These topics and applications may be useful for increasing engagement of advanced high school chemistry students.
September 17, 2015 | Advanced Chemistry Starting Off the New Year with AP Chemistry
2015 marked the second administration of the redesigned AP Chemistry test. After two exams, many teachers and students still have questions about differences in curriculum and question construction.
