Kitchen Chemistry: Fun Food Activities and Experiments By Christina Blassingame-Cleveland Chemistry is the study of the way materials are put together and how they act under various conditions. There are many chemistry concepts that explain daily events we observe in life. Chemistry uses all of one's senses-what one sees, tastes, touches, smells, hears, and feels. Many or most of the experiments in this unit can be performed in a classroom setting using items found in an ordinary household kitchen. I hope this unit encourages a child's natural curiosity and introduces them to the fun of chemistry. Young children are genuinely inquisitive; these experiments and activities are designed to interest and excite them. This unit is divided into three sections. The first one is experiments with water. The second one is experiments with food. The third one is experiments using acids and bases. The last section lists various cooking activities using foods. Enjoy! RATIONALE "Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back." Though this saying contains no truth, it illustrates a good point. The aim of this unit is to peak the interest of 3-5 year olds in science, chemistry, cooking, and the world around them. The experiments and activities are short, make use of easily available materials, and are designed to stimulate the minds of pre-kindergarten age students in a multi-age classroom. From my teaching experience, I know that young children enjoy discovery activities and learn best by engaging in hands-on activities.

Upper Saddle River, N.J.: Prentice Hall, 1997. Program Overview The Prentice Hall Science Integrated Learning System series is a program for middle school or junior high school students. Designed to cover all relevant areas of science, this program consists of 19 books, each in a particular topic area, such as sound and light, the planet earth, and chemistry of matter. Seven science themes are incorporated into the program; the themes are energy, evolution, patterns of change, scale and structure, systems and interactions, unity and diversity, and stability. For each unit, teaching materials, ancillary student materials, and some optional components are available. Student Edition Recommended grade level: Reading level: 12. The textbook Chemistry of Matter, which introduces students to the chemical properties of matter, is organized in 5 chapters: (1) "Atoms and Bonding," (2) "Chemical Reactions," (3) "Families of Chemical Compounds," (4) "Petrochemical Technology," and (5) "Radioactive Elements." Students learn about ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds and about how to predict bond type. They also learn about chemical reactions, chemical equations, and the energy associated with chemical reactions. They study the nature of solutions and the factors that affect the rate of solution and solubility. Students also investigate acids, bases, and salts, as well as carbon compounds, petrochemical technology, and polymerization. They are introduced to the properties of radioactive elements, find out how nuclear reactions (including transmutation, fission, and fusion) occur, and learn about the uses and dangers of radioactivity.

Learning from Experience: An " Aesop's Activities " Approach to Higher-Level Thinking Skills in the General Chemistry Lab by Craig Rusbult, Ph.D. Introduction (written for a seminar in Chemistry Education, Spring 2000) I'm hoping that your reading (before class) and our discussion (in class) will stimulate creative thinking that will be productive for you personally, and will provide useful feedback about how we can use discussions to help students learn more from their lab experiences. I want to use the class time for discussion (with minimal introduction by me) so I'll be assuming that you're familiar with the main ideas. The foundational principles are explained in the Aesop's Activities page (there is a link to it below). You can skim this page if you want, quickly grabbing the basic ideas about personal motivation and goal-directed design of instruction . Discussion-based labs are introduced at the end of Section 3, and are examined in detail on the Discussion-Based Labs page , which I hope will be the main focus of our discussion in class. Some examples of "making students aware of their opportunities for learning" are in

These workshops have been taught many times in schools across North Carolina. Our workshop participants learn skills and activities that they can immediately use in their own classrooms. We especially emphasize programs to help meet teacher technology competencies. Each workshop can be tailored to fit local needs. Open Registration Workshops GIS in the Classroom This workshop will provide teachers with a basic overview to Geographic Information Systems technology. As the importance of the earth/environmental science curriculum in North Carolina grows, computer applications that support these sciences grow as well. The GIS software applications are visual mapping techniques to enhance the way that scientists, community planners, and business professionals examine data. GIS is a tool that will allow analysis of information in a different and powerful fashion. For middle and high school teachers. To register visit the

Most campuses have a chemistry course for students majoring in a non-science related subject. There is no nationally agreed-upon curriculum for these courses - a reflection of the different ideas about the purposes of the course. This conference will present papers that consider different content and approaches which have been taken to the teaching of these courses. Online discussion will be a prominent feature of the conference so please join us in discussing these papers.

They join family and adult organizations like ski clubs, computer users groups, and Toastmasters. Other teens volunteer and work for pay. Some enjoy community youth-oriented groups like Scouts and 4-H. Our two teenagers were no exception. Jeff lived and breathed Civil Air Patrol Squadron. He edited the newsletter, served as squadron commander, organized encampments, prepared classes, and much more. He also trained with a U.S. Diving Team, sponsored by our local parks and recreation department. Our daughter, Tamara, split her time between volunteering with local drama groups and singing in a very active church choir. Both kids joined 4-H and church youth group. They were on the go almost every day, sometimes spending more time away from home than if they attended school. We were lucky. We lived in cities that afforded our teenagers rich opportunities to explore their interests and meet people from a wide range of backgrounds.
