Solutions are all around us in life and chemistry class! Our presenter, Kristen Vanderveen, will focus on how she approaches teaching the solution process, solubility curves, molarity, dilutions and related material. She will share a variety of resources and strategies she uses to teach these topics including helping students develop particulate level models, using simulations and Desmos activities, making real world connections and much more. Breakout rooms and a closing discussion will provide opportunities to collaborate to develop new classroom ideas as well. Join us! Register for this (FREE) hour long Zoom meeting to be held February 10th, 2022, at 8pm EST.

This event has already taken place. The recording will be published soon.
ChemEd X ChemBasics Talks are Zoom meetings consisting of 20 - 30 minute presentations, followed by breakout rooms designed to dig deeper into the topics covered and allow participants to share their own ideas. When the breakout sessions end, the group will have a time for reflections and final thoughts. Teachers are asked to keep their video on when possible, ask questions and participate in the discussion. These live Zoom events are free, but registration is required. Space is limited to 100, so register early! Certificates of attendance are sent to participants about one week after the event. (Note: Please do not register if you cannot attend the live event. The recordings are typically published within a week of the event and freely available to anyone on ChemEd X.)
