Aesop's Activities And Chemistry Labs general chemistry labs to help students learn higherlevel thinking skills. 1.What is an Aesop s activities approach? Aesop s Fables are designed to teach http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~crusbult/methods/lab-99i.htm
Extractions: The academy is a school for students accelerated in mathematics and science as juniors and seniors. It is an exam school which is free to the students and considered a public school. We are located on the campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute . Our philosophy includes an active learning environment where students explore many topics in an interdisciplinary way. Please walk through some of the activities below and let us know what you think. I am currently working to construct student pages, faculty support pages will be following. At the academy, any student who has not had Chemistry in their sending school takes a semester of Chemistry as a mandatory elective. As an elective it is an "extra" academic class which contains a laboratory component and many home activities and labs. Below you will find many such activities for your use. Explorations in Physics is taken by all juniors at the academy. We do a variety of activities, most of which are hands-on and open ended. A sampling of some of those which I have worked to create is listed below.
Chemistry Review Lessons something when you explain it to another person or teach it to and Science Returnto Jacklyn Bonneau s Homepage Return to the chemistry activities Page Please http://users.wpi.edu/~bonneau/ChemistryReview.html
Extractions: Some people say that you really know and understand something when you explain it to another person or teach it to a child. This may be due to the need to simplify and use examples when teaching. By duing this you make connections you would never otherwise see in simply "learning" the material and therefore deepen your own understanding. Take the topic of bonding from chemistry and simplify it so as to explain it to a child in third or fourth grade. There are many topics in this area from which you can select; bond types, bond representation, Lewis structures, VSEPR, hybidization, etc. Note, you need to look up the entie concept of bonding but expand on only one area. Remember, you need to expand your explanation with simple activites or everyday examples for an eight or nine year old. A possible model could be something like "You Can" by Beakman and Jax, found on the internet or in the Sunday comics, or a childs book. You have the opportunity to be creative but be sure the chemistry is correct! This asssignment will includea five minute oral presentation as well as any appropriate written work or product.
Harvard MRSEC - Educational Activities The teach program conducted with assistance from an Industrial Internship. GraduateActivities A popular and course entitled Materials chemistry and Physics. http://www.mrsec.harvard.edu/education.html
Extractions: The Center actively promotes interdisciplinary education in materials as well as research. The dedication and leadership of the faculty underscore our commitment to help pre-college students discover the excitement of scientific inquiry, develop new methods of teaching science and assist teachers, provide undergraduates with their first taste of real research, and prove the value of interdisciplinary teamwork to the nation's future materials scientists and engineers. Center faculty participate in Project TEACH (The Educational Activities of Cambridge-Harvard). Coordinated with the Cambridge Public Schools, the purpose of the program is to interest students early in college. Each seventh-grade class from the Cambridge Public Schools spends a day at Harvard where they receive information about college admission, meet with former Cambridge students new in college, learn first-hand about undergraduate life, and are exposed to critical thinking drawn from familiar examples in science and engineering by MRSEC faculty. The TEACH program conducted with assistance from an early awareness coordinator and a team of undergraduates supported with funds from Harvard College.

CC Resource Center Resources - Chemistry Top Level Subjects Science Charged Strings is a model that computes the lowest energy conformation of a linear string of charged balls. Students vary the charges to give a particular three-dimensional shape. The resulting molecules can be rotated in 3D to assess any discrepancy between their predictions and the model's new shape, and compared with the original shape.

Extractions: "Hands On Save Our Streams - The Save Our Streams Teacher's Manual" This 215-page curriculum is written for use in the first through 12th grades. The manual contains all background needed to teach lessons and lead field trips centered around stream health. The curriculum also included the "Science Project Guide for Students," a students companion guide that contains project ideas, monitoring instructions and information about stream ecology. For more information click on the links below or scroll down: Introduction Format and Use of This Manual Projects can be undertaken by entire classes or assigned as homework. Projects also can be done by science clubs and other groups. It is recommended that students work in teams whenever possible to facilitate group learning and creative thinking. All demonstrations are designed to be presented to any grade level. These activities can be simplified or made more complex at the discretion of the teacher. The time estimated to teach each lesson is provided at the beginning of the lesson. Times may vary depending on the level of detail the instructor chooses and the grade level. Times given for lessons do not include the time required to answer discussion questions at the end of each lesson.

Extractions: The company are so lovely I cant get over how kind they were, they even gave each child a free gift which of course was a very popular move. They gave me about 50 bottles to do more experiments which I am positively itching to start on. We reminded them that it is Science Year and put stickers on every little chest!

Extractions: Philosophy of Reactions in Chemistry Program Summaries Using the Video, Website and Workshop Guide Contributors Workshop Overview Reactions in Chemistry, and further, reactions to chemistry, are the focus of this educational workshop from Annenberg/CPB. It is a multimedia workshop for chemistry teachers’ professional development, consisting of video, this print guide, and a Web site. The workshop focuses on the "four elements" of chemistry teaching: These ideas are introduced by cutting-edge methodologies and advanced educational technologies that are currently being used in secondary schools throughout the U.S. The multimedia nature of the workshop, combining video, a Web site, and this printed guide, maximizes the possibility of extracting teaching materials and methodologies from the workshop.
