JCE ChemEd Xchange provides a place for sharing information and opinions. Currently, articles, blogs and reading lists from ChemEd X contributors are listed below. We plan to include other items that the community wishes to share through their contributions to ChemEd X.
Students may have been using the metric system as early as in elementary school, so why do they struggle to use it in first year chemistry class in high school? This is a quick idea to help you reintroduce the metric system in your class.
Dean Campbell uses demonstrations and props to illustrate concepts while teaching his collegiate Materials Chemistry course. Many of the examples described are also suitable for use in high school and collegiate General Chemistry courses.
The objective of the multi-country IUPAC Chemistry Teacher Survey is to improve understanding of the use of practical work in high school chemistry classes related to concepts of sustainability.
Have a 3D printer? Make some 3D printed models of various carbon allotropes!
This lab assessment is a wet lab that has students use lab skills to demonstrate their knowledge of polarity, Lewis structures, solubility, and intermolecular forces by justifying the polarity of given compounds.
This activity allows for the simple and accurate determination of the heat of fusion, ΔHfusion, of water at 0°C.
What is some of the chemistry involved in the formation of ice clouds when boiling water is thrown into icy air?
The author shares how using interactive notebooks has supported her chemistry students.
Nora Walsh highlights activities found on ChemEd X and how she worked them into her own curriculum teaching Lewis structure concepts.
This initial 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.
