Use of Particulate-Level Instruction on Chemical and Physical Changes and States of Matter
MeyersChemistry | Wed, 05/24/2017 - 10:36
I will share how I use the Target Inquiry activity, Change You Can Believe In. I have realized that I need to include particulate models within the assessments after the lab to fully evaluate my student's conceptual understanding.

You Are Invited: Chemistry Instruction for the Next Generation
Deanna Cullen | Mon, 04/24/2017 - 20:47
ChemEd X and the Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) are collaborating to offer a virtual conference like most have never seen before. It is not a webinar. You do not have to schedule specific hours to view a live presentation. I think of it as similar to a virtual book/journal club with the added benefit of having the author leading it. In this case, authors were selected from among those who have published recent articles, activities and research in JCE on the topic of student-centered instruction in chemistry. The theme of this inaugural conference is Chemistry Instruction for the Next Generation.
