APTeach - Modeling Net Ionic Equations and Chemical Reactions

The November 2024 APTeach presentation outlined instructional strategies to model net ionic equations and chemical reactions using particulate models, chemical symbols, and observations to support students’ understanding of how chemicals react and interact at the particle level. A clip of the presentation and the presentation slidedeck are included here.

Changing the Colour of Whole Fruits!

This study explores anthocyanin bleaching and dyeing using blackberries, inspired by the maraschino cherry production process. The experiments demonstrate accessible anthocyanin chemistry for educational applications and encourage replication with various fruits.
