This article explores the power of Universal Design for Learning in making chemistry more accessible to all, offering practical examples of activities and assessments. Additionally, it delves into the potential for AI to further enhance differentiation and accessibility.
This short article unpacks recent research on sulfonphthalein behavior in aqueous solutions, shedding light on pH-dependent structures with the hope of equipping educators with up-to-date interpretations of very familiar experimental observations, such as color changes in acid/base titrations.
Nora Walsh outlines the interactive notebook pages she uses for her AP Chemistry electrochemistry unit. All of the documents and foldables are available for download.
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!
This seasoned chemistry teacher is mentoring future educators. From hands-on labs to guest speakers, explore how she cultivates a vibrant learning environment and supports the next generation of chemistry rockstar teachers!
Explore the journey of a high school chemistry teacher who turned a playful challenge into a powerful teaching tool on TikTok! From quirky titration mishaps to acting out VSEPR geometries, this teacher has found endless ways to make chemistry come alive on the platform.
In this enrichment activity, students research elements to prove that their element is the most lethal of all in the March Madness Element Bracket.
Polylactic acid (PLA) exhibits a glass transition from hard and brittle to soft and rubbery when immersed in boiling water. PLA-based structures containing a small metal object can be used as rattles when they are shaken. The sound of the rattles change when they are heated above or cooled below their glass transition, enabling them to be used as demonstrations.
This study outlines the effect on the colour of anthocyanin-containing solutions when mixed with caffeine. Given the diversity of anthocyanin structures available from other vegetables, fruits or flowers, there is great potential for series of open-ended experiments for students in classes or science clubs to investigate.
This quick / low-prep stoichiometry lab helps students visualize why they must convert mass into moles before performing stoichiometry calculations.
