A pre-dinner conversation leads to a different way of thinking about quantum superposition.  A meal from an idiosyncratic chef is not defined until “the reveal.”  Discussion of this leads to the statement by Asher Peres that “unperformed experiments have no results.”  Discussion of Peres’ statement, then contrasting versions of resultlessness in both macroscopic and quantum realms, leads to classroom discussion.  This, hopefully, creates an easier and deeper understanding of quantum mechanics.

Joe Lomax suggests that making your students into a flowchart can better teach them the titration process while you and your class will enjoy the process!

The connections between Acid-Base and Redox reactions already exist. How so? Let's find out.

Sometimes the obvious is the most difficult to see. Even after teaching for four decades, there is still something to learn from students. What did I recently learn? Check out my post. 

A continuation of Counting Orbitals I: The 'Ah-ha! Moment' and Quantum Numbers. Sit back and adjust your eyeballs for some colorful graphics. 

In this blog the author describes how three components of a water tower reservoir is analogous to an acid-base buffer system.

In two connected ways, thermodynamics describes how both physical or chemical processes spontaneously trend towards equilibrium. This post is concerned with showing how free energy (ΔG_rxn) changes as the reaction quotient (Q) changes as both trend towards the special condition, equilibrium, described by the constant K.
