APTeach - Modeling Net Ionic Equations and Chemical Reactions Join APTeach to discuss instructional strategies to model net ionic equations and chemical reactions using particulate models, chemical symbols, and observations to support students’ understanding of how chemicals react and interact at the particle level. REGISTER NOW for the November 21st APTeach Session!
	Incorporating Indigenous Perspectives into the Chemistry Classroom Yvonne Clifford shares a compilation of lessons that incorporate Indigenous peoples and cultures.
Social Justice Science Issues and NGSS How can chemistry address real-world issues? Explore how teaching Social Justice Science Issues helps students connect chemistry to their local communities. By integrating student community-centered storylines, teachers can engage students in critical thinking about chemistry topics and how they apply to their everyday lives.
	Connecting Light Emissions from Aurora and Other Astronomical Phenomena to Chemistry Courses Recent space-related phenomena like aurora and a comet were viewed by large numbers of people. These phenomena can be connected to concepts described in chemistry courses, such as electronic structures and light emission associated with species such as excited oxygen atoms.
