Solutions are all around us in life and chemistry class! Solution chemistry is a topic that connects to many other topics covered in the high school classroom. On February 10th, 2022, Kristen Vanderveen shared her unit covering solutions in this ChemBasics Talk. You can view a recording of her presentation below and access materials she has suggested.

After the presentation, participants met as a group. This collaborative time is what makes a meeting like this much different than a typical webinar. It is a valuable opportunity to connect with other teachers and find and share new resources. To encourage sharing, this portion of the meeting is not recorded but teachers that attended the ChemBasics Talk have access to notes and links shared.
Access to Shared Materials
Kristen included a lot of information within her presentation. You can find links to all the resources she referenced within the slide deck below.

We hope you will watch the schedule and register to attend an upcoming ChemEd X ChemBasics Talk! After the presentation, we have a variety of breakout rooms before coming back together for a follow up discussion. Participants are sent notes and resources from group discussions that aren't shared more publicly. Attendance certificates are sent as well.
