Thank you for registering at Chemical Education Xchange (ChemEd X)! This is our first newsletter written for registered users of the site. We hope to strengthen the community of chemistry educators by providing learning resources and forums for discussion and collaboration. We have many projects in the works that we are excited to share with you as ChemEd X grows. We will be rolling out our Facebook page, uploading activities linked to NGSS, highlighting ACS Conant Awardees, and much more. We plan to send out quarterly newsletters to keep you up to date with our progress.
We hope you enjoyed Mole Day, October 23rd!Tell us about the Mole Day and National Chemistry Week activities you did with your students by commenting on Sarah's blog. See Sarah Kong's blog for Mole Day resources and get a jump on next year. |

Tom Kuntzelman has wowed us with his videos. I recently read an article in JCE that I thought was interesting, but I did not consider trying the demonstration in my own classroom. After watching Tom’s video and hearing his tips and suggestions, I tried it and loved it! You have to check it out! Tom’s blog with video of Electrolytic Dissolution of Copper Metal |
