Charged Strings
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.

NETWORK PAPER No 1
TEACHING DESCRIPTIVE INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Grainne Conole, Catherine Hunter, Terry Kee, Laura Mole,Tina Overton Introduction Most undergraduate chemistry courses include the descriptive chemistry of the elements, whether s-, p- or d-block. Many students (and staff) find this aspect of inorganic chemistry rather uninspiring. There is an enormous amount of factual material covering this area and many academics feel obliged to present as much of it as possible to their students. This can lead to content overload at the expense of the students understanding of the factors which shape much of the descriptive chemistry they come across. The following are a selection of activities which have been used to teach descriptive inorganic chemistry. These activities have been found to be effective in promoting active learning by students, in promoting work in groups and encouraging a multidisciplinary approach. These activities also add variety to the way in which we teach descriptive inorganic chemistry. Some of these activities may be readily adapted for use in other areas of the curriculum. Group Presentations Students are asked to research the chemistry of an element, group or type of material in small groups of 3 or 4 students. This is followed by student presentations of the material to the whole class. The presentation may take the form of an oral or a poster and may be accompanied by a student-prepared handout or an essay.

From: tfalcone@comcast.net
Date: Fri Feb 07 2003 - 19:06:16 EST We start our nuclear unit at the beginning of the year along with atoms - that is where it fits. We give a pre - questionnaire to find out what kids already know. Then we do the half life of "Pennium" and it gives a nice exponential curve. We also do the average atomic mass of "Candium" (three isotopes - skittles, M&M's and Reeses) and we give students a good idea about isotopic abundance and we even make them graph a "phony" mass spec. We do have the navy submarine guy come in, but sometimes he is not too exiting to the kids. One of the better activities we do is to watch the film "Trinity and Beyond" which has footage of all the bomb drops the US did during the 50's and 60's and then hold a socratic seminar. I also love doing the cloud chamber experiment to trace electron paths.
Off the topic a little it - There is a great website that has good info on X rays and some of the physics for light, spectroscopy, bose-einstein condensates, periodic table and a whole lot more:

This site is the companion Web-based resource for the workshop offered through the National Computational Science Institute (NCSI) , funded in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF) . This page describes the course and the learning objectives. Glad you are with us! COURSE DESCRIPTION This is a 15-session course on the technologies, techniques, and tools of computational chemistry. By using the same computational tools as research computational chemists, educators will have the opportunity to study chemistry in a manner very different than traditional teaching and education in chemistry. Computational chemistry is that branch of chemistry that applies high- performance computers (supercomputers and scientific workstations) and advanced mathematical techniques to the study of complex chemistry problems. Most computational chemistry studies are concerned with the area of quantum chemistry, which uses the classic Schroedinger equation to be able to describe the chemical properties and behaviors of atoms and molecules. Students enrolled in this seminar series will be expected to devote four to five hours per week in reading, doing computer labs, and reflecting on the course material. Students should have at least three hours of access to the WWW each week. More

    < Back
    Home Student Version Next > A Chemistry WebQuest WebQuest Activities A WebQuest has been defined as an inquiry-centered activity in which the students obtain most of the information they need to carry out the activity online. Normally, a WebQuest includes five basic components: an introduction, a well-defined task for students to accomplish, a list of resources to help them accomplish the task, a process for carrying out the task, and a conclusion in which the students create some sort of output in which they summarize and draw conclusions on what they have learned. In this case, an evaluation section has been included to aid in assessment. This WebQuest activity is intended to encourage students to think critically about issues of concern to them and to society. It is important in today's society that individuals be knowledgeable enough about science to be able to make judgments about science related issues which are important to them and the community at large. It is also important that the students learn how to weigh different opinions and formulate their own views in light of conflicting points of view. An activity like this could be assembled on nearly any topic in which there are conflicting opinions. Purpose and Nature of the Activity The purpose of this activity is to bring students in contact with the sort of dilemma that arises from the downsides of an otherwise beneficial technology and to teach them how it can be difficult to find answers to some problems. The activity is designed to teach students to think critically and to develop the ability to use their own judgment to shape their own opinions when "right" and "wrong" answers are not apparent. It is also designed to train students to use their own judgment when different information sources present conflicting viewpoints and opinions. It is hoped the students will learn that science and technology are important and necessary tools in solving problems like those presented by PVC production and use.

Pryor Ave. Chicago IL 60649 Chicago IL 60643 (312) 535-2550 Objectives : The main objectives of this mini-teach are to familiarize uppergrade students with the concept of pH, to teach students how to use litmus and pH paper to determine pH and to make students aware of natural indicators. Materials Needed : For a class the teacher should plan for stations with six samples (2 acidic, 2 basic and 2 neutral) probably use groups of two or three. !!Caution!! Do not use bleach or bleach containing products. Do not use products that don't list chemicals. Baking soda solution Table salt solution Lemon juice Vinegar Ammonia/Windex Distilled water Clear containers (Baby food jars, cups) Grape juice Fruit punch Beet juice Red cabbage juice (in rubbing alcohol) Litmus paper pH paper Tweezers Paper towels Strategy : Activity One: Measuring pH 1. Have stations set up for students ahead of time. Each station should include labeled cups or jars with six solutions (2 acidic, 2 basic, 2 neutral) grouped so no one person will test two neutral solutions. The stations should also have tweezers for each student, instructions, paper towels for spills, and have small torn pieces of litmus paper and pH paper. 2. Vocabulary- INABP Tests Indicator- points something out, in this case tells if the solution is acidic, basic, or neutral. Neutral- 1) not acidic or basic, 2) equally acidic and basic Acidic- increases hydronium ion concentration, [H

Carl Sagan's COSMOS is one of the most influential science programs ever made. Q. Does the moon have a dark side? A. The moon does have a far side which is impossible to see from the earth, but it doesn't mean that it's always dark. Each side of the moon is dark for no longer than 15 days at a time. Q. Where does sound come from? A. The air is always filled with sound waves. All things give off vibrations, but some have a low frequency which most cannot hear. The reason: it may take 3 minutes to make a single vibration. They may be caused by earthquakes and storms. Did You Know?

    Nanoparticles May be Key to Future Drug Development and Diagnostic Tools
    Chemists at UCLA have developed a new coating for inorganic particles at the nanoscale that may have the potential for application in a wide range of drug development, diagnostic tools and medications.
    The organic coatings can be used to disguise particles so effectively that the cells mistake them for proteins. As a result, scientists can use these coasted particles to track the proteins in a live cell and conduct a range of studies at the molecular level a major step toward using nanotechnology to create practical applications for biology and medicine, according to Shannon Weiss, UCLA professor of chemistry and a member of the university's California NanoSystems Institute.
